There were 3 people in my car and I saw him in his. I see him pull onto the highway. Its about 130 AM and the road is completely desolate so I guessed if the guy was into cars at all a run was inevitable. I go past him as he pulls on and I see him accelerate up next to me. Dropped into fourth to see if he would go and he punches it. I punch it too I am dead even until the top of fourth and I start moving up. Shift to fifth and put a cars length. I then let off because I am on snow tires and dont feel like getting a mondo ticket. Overall I am extremely happy with the results as people always claim the M3 blows the S4 away. I would like to see the results with just 1 person in each car. My mods include - APR downpipes, Custom Magnaflow catback, APR 93 reflash illbill 02-24-2008, 07:49 AM bostonasphalt2 02-24-2008, 10:32 AM I dont see the point of comparing an unodified car versus a modified one unless they are the same vehicle (Stg III S4 versus stock S4) a4mulet30red 02-24-2008, 10:50 AM so basically the road was a little slippery...... ;) JoeS4 02-24-2008, 11:25 AM Wickedated 02-24-2008, 02:18 PM V10!! SuperAvant 02-24-2008, 07:34 PM another. I dont get your point though - people buy performance mods to get the max potential from their vehicle. When it makes your car quicker than another that is usaully faster that in a sense is an accomplishment. bostonasphalt2 02-24-2008, 07:55 PM its not a sense of accomplishment to race a modified car versus a stock car and have the modified car be the winner. Its more of a "no sh1t" moment aka we knew that would happen. Your comparison does nothing for the "m3 is faster than the S4" argument because that comparo was between stock cars. you even said : " Overall I am extremely happy with the results as people always claim the M3 blows the S4 away" Yes, they claim that when talking about *stock* vehicles. You took the stock S4 and changed it. I am not sure why you are so proud that you "Refuted" that fact, because in reality, you didnt. You used a modified car to blow away a stock car. s6v10 02-24-2008, 08:54 PM You'll beat the S5, not the RS4. SuperAvant 02-25-2008, 03:47 AM however just enough in this case to win the upper hand. However, if you would like to know, I had a before and after dyno of my car without mods and with. I gained 2 whp total. I dont think that was enough overall to consider a significant change from factory spec. As far as I am concerned, my car is almost as stock as possible.
