Well coming from a stage 1 B5 S4
It's nice, but not as torquey on the low end. To me and I am no expert by any means, I feel there is bit less lag, very useable power, especially here in San Francisco where things tend to be more stop and go.
I really enjoy the power band, I like having a more interactive driving experience, where as my B5 S4 seemed pretty content in 2nd and 3rd all the time. That car was more point and shoot, this car (B7) is just so much more fun to drive. ESPECIALLY in chassis dynamics. Not to mention all the sweet amenities.
I had the street sport kit on my S4 and the SS kit on my B7 rocks!!!!. SO MUCH NICER. Perfect for someone like me who does not track the car, but is looking for something a bit more aggressive and a lowered look.
Once I finally get a cat back exhaust and maybe an intake, I think this car will be a great daily driver. Plus she will do fine in Tahoe this Winter.
I think overall the GIAC software makes the car feel a bit similar to a stock B5 S4, but more fun to drive, I like the quick revving motor, makes quick rev matching a snap.

Opportunity for you
I am hoping to get the car closer to Stage 2 B5 S4 with cat back and maybe a test pipe. I might do a turbo and fuel injectors dwon the road. Would like to be around 350 tq and 320 hp.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audiclubgoldengate.org/index.php?page=events&event=133">http://www.audiclubgoldengate.org/index.php?page=events&event=133</a</li></ul>
