If anyone is looking for a nice clean 08 C63 I traded mine in to Audi of Palm Beach. Talk with Ron if your interested. It is white with 19k miles on it...

What made you wanna trade it in?

taylorcoleman

What did you get?

Why am I not surprised....at all????

Do tell player!

Edit - this guy is meticulous about his cars...trust me, I know. I had the cleanest 06 C55 on the planet that I bought from him. Im going to guess you are going with the S4 and a few grand in mods...

dremorg

If you don't mind me asking, how much did they give you for the trade-in?

rieger

My guess would be an R8. The S4 is a wonderful car but it has 120hp less than the C63 so don't think the OP would trade it in for the S4 unless he is going for a big tune and mods.

I just drove past it the other day. White one right?

SebringSilver

I'd get an R8.

Come to think of it, I did!

Hammer meet head of nail Just a hunch though!

The B8 S4 is a bargain to say the least...
Good luck w/ your new car, hopefully you're sticking w/ german engineering.

but wait you have all of them

Not badmouthing the OP's new S4 as I happen to have a 2010 S4. The S4 is not geared to compete with the C63 as that is what the RS4/RS5 is for so I thought he would get a R8 V10 to supercede the C63. I guess a modded S4 would also do.

Thanks Well I traded it in on a 2010 Q5 S-line Prestige package car for the wife. We just had a baby boy and the C63 was just too small. The plan was to buy the wife an suv and me another 2010 C63 in a few months with the P31 when I could get a great deal. But after driving my wifes Q for a few days and the S4 on test drives I think I will be buying the S4 instead. The interior and navigation make the MB look prehistoric. As for the comments about power. The S4's are putting down 320 whp stock as they are underated and the Eaton has plenty of punch left I can do alot with the spare $25K I have some great contacts and have something in the works with Stassis... I loved my C but I need to think more about the little guy... I can still have some fun with the S4 and he will be comfortable. 28MPG is hard to pass up too....

Pics of the little guy.

If you read up on the Audi forums there is much debate on this claim. One tuner "allegedly" dyno a stock S4 that put down around 320AWHP. However the consensus is the new S4 with the S/C V6 does put down more HP/TRQ then the old 4.2 V8 but not 320AWHP.

rieger

The S4 out down more like 290-300whp and not 320whp as APR who got 320whp was using a optimal setup with hub dyno so the drivetrain loss would have been a lot less than what everyone calculated it to be. A local member put it on a dyno with poor ventilation and got 292whp but it was cold so he may have gotten 300whp if the facility had a better dyno. Stasis and APR is working on a larger supercharger so that should take it up probably to around 480+ bhp if everything else can handle the power. A tune in itself would do 435bhp.

Cute little kid!

Thanks... He is definitely changing the way I look at things. I just sold my 804whp evo so I dont really care about whp per say. My point was that the S4 is under rated and has potential. It will be comfortable and nice to drive. I really want the 2010 C63 but loaded the way I want its 80K and thats hard to stomache

Tell me about it

rieger

Congrats on the kid looking like mom. j/k. I do really like the S4 as it is an all around great car not tremendously fast but fast enough. Amazing interior and MMI. The car is also bigger than a c-class but a little smaller than an E-class which makes it perfect for me as it allows my kid enough room so that he doesn't complain but small enough that it handles well enough and not feel large like an E-class.
How long is your wait going to be for the S4? Some guys in the states are waiting up to 5 months while the norm is 3 months.
I really like the W211 E500 but had too many problems so I traded it in for the S4.

Minuteman

Link where Stasis/APR claim 480 + bhp. I've read about Stasis 410 hp claim w/ flashing the ECU and MTM's 430ish.

I'm very tempted to buy the 2010/2011 S4, costs 50k and with 5k in upgrades you're well into the 450+ bhp range.

rieger

The stasis tune is 410bhp APR will most likely be 435-450 range since that is what MTM has and usually APR is a little more aggressive with the tunes than MTM.
Stasis currently does not have any info about the supercharcharger upgrade but if you check out this link under challenge edition you will see the option for supercharger upgrade late in 2010 http://www.stasisengineering.com/STaSISS4.html
With the supercharger upgrade it would be safe to say 480+bhp otherwise would be pointless to upgrade the supercharger when a tune can already do 435hp. APR has not mentioned anything about a supercharger yet but I think if stasis has one APR would not like to be beat and will have one also. Stasis and APR is both in fierce competition to be Audi enthusiasts tuner top dog so will be safe to say both will have an upgrade.

I didnt place an order yet because most of the dealers around here have them in inventory. I was also wanting to not rush into it to make sure I am making the right decision. I really wanted the new C, but as I said after driving the Audi I am in love. The sales rep knows me well and is on the look out. If I dont hear from him saying he has the right car soon I will order one in about two weeks. I also dont know what color I want LOL... Not sure if I want something crazy and loud like yellow or go black and subtle.... I'm in no rush, but hope I dont need to wait 5 months. Hopefully one will come along that is loaded the way I want. I think with the extra 100 hp the car will be amazing and the fact that it is $50K and gets 28mpg is hard to beat right now for me. Big enough and not too big is nice and hopefully I wont be replacing the tires every 3k miles Stassis, APR, AWE, etc all have great products on the horizon. Stassis contacted my big sponsor and we are working out some details. I may be able to load the car up with some goodies I like Stassis because their parts dont void warranty also. Congrats on the S4 BTW... I am truly impressed with our first Audi. Here's a pic of the Q. I removed the emblems and tinited the windows yesterday. It looks great now.

The Q5 looks very nice, inside and out. I saw a black Q5 S-line the other day, and it looked sharp.

Looks IMO Q5 > M-Class
