Audi S4 VS. C 32 AMG

Hi all,

anyone knows somethin about this test? Are there any actual tests of both cars? I think the C 32 is faster.

stock, the C32 will romp it.

Chipped S4 will be a good race. If the S4 driver is good, he "may" be able to keep up or take the C32 off the line. then after that i think it would be close, the chipped S4 has less hp but more torque than C32 does.

In the twisties my vote would have to go with the S4. I have never ridden in a C32, but i know a S4 will really carve up some turns

But then again you could chip (tune) your C32 and you will say bye bye to the S4 !

Hey...

A friend of mine has a chipped S4. Along with the chip he also has exhaust and short shifter. It is his latest project so when he is done I have a feeling he will be able to take me!! Anyways those S4's are very good cars, especially tuned!!

Later,
Amgboy

well, i have one of each a 2001 audi s4 with a set of forge bipass valves and no cats on 18in light weight BBS LM's and also a 2002 c32 with the cats removed and 19in wheels(much heavier than stock). The only time the S4 is ahead is during takeoff but after that the c32 just kills the audi. the audi has good low rpm torque but it lags high end power its a lot more fun to drive especially with the quatrro but nowhere close performance wise. I've tried a friend's MTM chip on the audi, it tends to run little smother with some more power but i don't think it would still keep up with the mercedes

2004 Audi S4

The new 2004 Audi S4 will be a great race, it will have the 4.2 V8 with 340hp! Also I heard the car will weigh about the same as the current S4, with Bi-turbo 6. The new S4 should have good power to weight ratio.

Audi is saving room for the next RS4

btw RS models are tuned by Quattro Gmbh (the M and AMG division of Audi), but what about the S4? all this S and RS models from Audi is confusing the heck out of me.

Hey Frank,

like u said quattro GmbH is like Motorsport GmbH (BMW), the Tequipment GmbH (Porsche) or AMG (Mercedes). All the S and RS models are from Quattro.

BTW there´s no new RS4 planed. Audi got a lot of work with the S4, planning the new S6 and S8 and maybe a RS 8. No time to waste fo the RS4.



Same for the BMW Z4: no M model planed for that car. The Motorsport GmbH is now planning for the new M5 and the M6.

C32Brabus, How do you manage to take the cats off without upsetting the computer?

I want to do it to my car, but I've been told that the o2 sensor would go crazy and send all kind of signals to the computer... check engine...whatever...

Did you ran into those problems? Or am I being feed wrong information by the muffler shops?

Thanks.

If i'm in control of Audi i would just make the S model for each, and make them with the power of the RS. instead of making two performance model for each of the model line up.

i think there will be a M version of the Z4 in the future. Remember MB only came out with the SLK32 AMG this year, and the SLK is already heading into it's 6th year.
