1/4 mile race between S4 and C32 clip

Say, does anyone still have that .AVI clip between the S4 and C32? If you do, please sent me the pointer.

Thanks...

it looked like they were neck and neck, then the c32 pulled up but as they passed into the distance, you really can't tell who is winning but my bet is on the c32.

According to the poster that I pulled the link from at Benzsport.Com, the S4 had 400 HP??? I think the C32 won the race.

I drove an S4 prior to the Mercedes and it was 6spd. and I can tell you that yeah that one sounded modded, but they usually sound like that stock. Also you have to take into consideration that the mercedes C32 is only rear wheel drive which gives it an advantage in acceleration sprints as oppossed to the S4 standard Quattro, however the S4 is no slow poke, it seems that they started the race while running on the freeway not standstill. The S4 is of equal match for the C32. However the C32 has it's sprint advantage of being rear wheel only, but I used to cook Benz's with my S4 all of the time.

'00 Audi S4.
Lets set the story straight.

That was my S4 and the C32 belongs to my friend. First of that wasn't a RACE. Thats why the video clip is called sorta. He took off and I chased afterwards. What the video doesn't show well is that I was just about to pass him when the light turned red. The C32 is a fast car, I'll definitly give it that.. but lets not talk smack about a situation you guys don't know about. We'll have more video posted this weekend that will hopefully be from a better angle.

And Timmy, you willing to put money on that statement?
