Just visited my dealer, he just got back from MY 2000 training this week. The training was in Savannah, Georgia; I do not know what track they were at. Evidently they were trying to mimic C&D comparison because they had a M3 and a C43. My salesman got to drive them and compare them to the S4. He is very excited. He noted that the shifter was as smooth as in the A4 5spd.
I have to repeat this sentence from the training manual that he was given by AOA.
"Published figures for the S4 are 250HP and 258 ft lb torque at 1850. The 2.7 actually delivers a little more than 250hp and produces slightly more than 260 ft lb of torque."
Seems to me that the American version will not be as de-tuned as some people have suggested.
Anyway, if anyone wants a copy of the manual I'll e-mail it to you. The manual is a little more detailed than the brochure, but it is interesting to read what Audi wants its salesmen to know when they are selling a S4.

I would love to see this and I am sure many other will respond. Save yourself from mailing it to everyone and post it at the link below.
I originally planned on that, but I was thinking that this information will be out of date in a few weeks and that storage space could be better utilized.
If every wants me to post it I can, but I believe that everyone should be able to get it through e-mail. Send it to a friend :)

I don't think that the true performance figures relect any less detuning of the car. All published specs are generally lower than actuals. The Euro S4 probably outperforms its published specs also. 2-3 ft-lbs of torque is not even noticable. But an interesting fact anyway.

bet you didn't really know what you were in store for when you posted.
