had a little play with one yesterday on a bit of dual carriageway from 40 to 130 and there was absolutely nothing in it. audi had bigger exhausts by the look of it but not much else. are these the 2.7 bi turbo ones?

 

Not entirely sure and think engines vary in different models like the cab and estate but i think there a 4.2 Audi B6.

 

4.2 Normally aspirated V8 with 341 Bhp......

They weigh as much as my house though...

 

but sound awsome

 

Couldn't hear it over my straight 6 at full chat. Lol. I didnt do too badly then with 20 odd less horses and 2 extra bodies on board. Dont think mine is exactly featherweight.lol

 

The S4 is also 4x4 and would of thought you would have a edge on him specially as your M3 is played with slightly. Then again, he has a fair old whack of torque

 

Considering the weight of his and the 4wd the audi did alright i'd say......was never gonna be chalk and cheese!

 

the audi must have been standard.... i got an older s4 which is chipped... it flies by my mates m3..

 

Is yours the 4.2 v8 though?? The older 2.7tt ones are a different ballgame when chipped etc, being turbo's they respond very well to a remap

 

no, i,ve got the 2.7 v6 twin turbo.. it went ok when i bought it, but now its chipped it flies.... i had a play with a civic type r on the motorway the other day... blew his doors off from 80 ish to 130, didnt even change out of 6th gear(heard him change down)..... and kids were oblivious to it all... they were watching a film...the girlfriend commented though!

 

mates got a chipped a3 and that flies, supprised he didnt take ya as m3s aint that fast

 

Every one seems to think that but it just keeps on pulling. Gains on most things over 100 that it struggles with below that speed if that makes sense.

 

Theyre about 350bhp as stated, 4.2ltr V8s.

Stickertone, get some K4s on your S4...mines had them from MRC and is an animal

 

phil, i'm happy with my s4 as it is, keeping it family friendly i got a 413 bhp 3 door cossie if i wanna play

 

U were hitting 130mph with ur kids in the car?!

 

had a play with one in my old m3 down the motor way at 2 in the mornin was on his ass at 150 lol

lol... why?????

 

Admittidly it sounds bad but I have to say I've had my A4 at an indicated 145 and the further past 120mph I got the more composed and stable it felt. It really was completely effortless. Not saying I would do it myself.

S4 and M3 should be a fairly even match, both are pretty rapid motors. I bet the BMW has better rear leg room though. A4's are shite for that. All my mates laugh and say I own the smallest big car posible

 

it felt like we were progressing quite quick.. but the road was almost empty and vision and road conditions were good, and to be totally honest i didnt realise we were going that quick... but at no moment was anyone at danger.... lol... my s4 can do 130+ down the back straight at snetterton, and brake for the esses, so it is vey stable.

 

[quote=stickertone;4694846] started slagging me off for speeding on a public road etc,etc like they have never done it or got the back end out on a roundabout.

and the rear leg room on an e36 aint brilliant either

 

and they lock a thread for that???? w**kers .are they all policemen???
