Default S4 vs Porsche C2

Do you think a S4 can beat a Porsche C2 from 0-60mph? If not, what would it take to mod a S4? Thanks!

Default nope.... but curious... why does it matter?

0-60 time is the MOST over-rated performance statistic !

Why does it matter? Because keyboard racing is cool.

I used to have a stock S4 2001. I loved that car until it got totaled. Now I have a C2. I was just curious. I currently have a 2000 C2 and 03 A4.

Default Which C2.....

If you are talking about a 996, then a modded S4 can get to 60 faster depending on the driver.

If you are talking about the new 997's, I don't think so.

Maybe a modded S4 can take the non "S", but I just drove my dad's "S" and it's definitly faster to 60 then mine. I was surprised that my car hang with it so well (my friend was behind me in my car).

Default Maybe. Depends on the driver.

I took one from a light in my B5 S4, which was somewhat modded. On the track, however, they will simply run away from you. This is particularly true at a high-speed track like Willow Springs.

Default Who races to 60?!??

If you want to get a good idea what kind of relative power the car has, examine the HP/weight ratio in both cars. That's probably more meaningful than 0-60 times.

Default kinda reminds me of a great shelby quote...

"horesepower sells cars but torque wins races"...0-60 is all about off the street bragging...remember roads have curves.
