i definitely agree with you, man. But it's up to Audi...lol

they should've just detuned the RS4's engine and put it into the new S4.

I guess now, BMW will consider putting a V8 in their next M3, and MB will once again stuff a V8 in the C AMG... Competition is what makes consumer happy.

maybe the reason AMG went for the s/c is because of the last S4's turbo, and they thought if Audi can do FI why can't we...

I agree with you guys. I like the new S4, although not nearly as much as the previous one. After driving that car stock and moddified in stage 3 form, I've never seen a bigger transformation with a car. The car literally throws you back in your seat when you step on the gas!

Stock SC 349hp W203 C32 Boost feels sweet and hard!
Stage 3 S4 Bi RS4 Turbo k4 400+HP feels like a hurricain hits you.
SC is gradual no lag.
Turbo lag hits you at boost like a bat.

The S4's exterior styling is quite boring looking.

I don´t like the new S4 cuz of the V8. Many people in germany won´t buy the new S 4 too, because it´s too slow. Most audi´s here are chip tuned and its easier to increase power on a turbo engine.

In the newest AMS test the S203.065 {C 32 AMG kombi} beated the Audi RS6 in a test freom 0 to 200! The Audi RS6 can´t uncouple the W203.065 {C 32 AMG Sedan}.

Regards,
