Default Beat a Lightning!

Well, obviously this wasn't in my truck...I was driving my cousin's 04' Audi S4...we were at a stoplight and went up to 60, due to traffic had to slow down...he didn't know how to launch very well, and lost traction but the awd of the Audi slaughtered him. Not much, and i wouldn't post this otherwise but I will never have a chance to race in that car again. It is a very swet car, and I love the shifter. Thanks.

S4s are such nice cars, I'd love to have the 2.7TT as a daily driver.

S4 is no joke. An all aluminum V8 with a rev limit of 7200. The thing is doing 0 to 60 in just under 5 seconds with a measley 13.4 quarter mile. Plus you get the AWD and 6 speed. It is only $50,000. And you get all the luxury that Audi can afford intheir A4 and S4.

Nice kill but the Lightning did not have a chance. I am sure with a few mods the S4 will be in the 12 seconds. But the car is not for everyone.

Although, if I could get one after I pay off my WS6 I would like to own one


Nice kill

S4 is allot better. The TT looks sportier but is slower.

Or are you being sarcastic?
