Hey Ahmad......
haven't been on any boards in a awhile. Just saw that you picked up a Nogaro Sedan? Did you send it out for a build-up? If you are doing GTs with built block and WB......can't beat that

Raudi-S4- Did you expect a different outcome? You cant launch an E55 from a dig on regular pavement. Of course the AWD car will get a huge lead right out of the hole. Come on man, you should know better. And comparing a stock E55 to a modded S4 is not really fair.

2001 Audi S4, Stage 3
LOL, same results from a roll. Also, how is it not fair to compare a $85K E55 with 4XXhp/5XXTQ to a $15K S4? If anything, it should be the other way around. Love the E55 but disagree with your comments.

As long as its not like E60 M5ers......who want to start the roll-ons from 100 and up
j/kHealthy Stage 3 S4's will pull stock E55's allday long. The comparison should be with modded E55's.
Happy New Year to everyone

correct.....that is why I always do roll-on comparisons, from 20 MPH, 50 MPH, and 70 MPH and up

A modded S4, as previously posted, is hardly fair against a stock E55-- from a friggin' dig no less. I would like to clarify, I'm not knockin' Audi either, I've owned two but damn, never once did I go around stompin' on every other car I was faster then with "reference" videos and price quotes and whatever else. Hate to admit it, but the E55 is in a different class speed being irrelevant. I knew it with my A4 and I knew it with my S4.
I can go get a 1994 Civic CR-X ( 25 cents from a gumball machine), dump a B16 (4K) in it, run an outrageous amount of boost and be faster then your S4 and my SL600 combined... don't make it a better car.

Totally agree. Went to lunch in friends new to him E55. Very solid.
I agree but the E class is more comparable to an RS6...when I drove my friend's modded B5 S4 I felt like it was a more complete package than my CLK. It felt more enjoyable to drive and a bit more solid. I liked the feel of it a lot and didn't feel like my CLK500 was any more superior. And you can't beat those awd launches
I just hope Audi goes back to f/i, otherwise BMW will have a monopoly on the "cheap" twin turbo segment.

Yeah, 12.2 is pretty lame for a *modded* SRT-8 Magnum.
Into stock E55 territory, wow.The only thing funny really is all the Audi guys on going brokeback on your ****.

Quickest maybe, but not the fastest.When I said rumors I was referring to the post about the Magnum that I was quoting.
But you're forgetting I paid only $27,500 for the SRT-8 brand new and only needed $1K in bolt ons to go 12.2. You're also forgetting that it's N/A! So for all things considered, I think it's pretty damn impressive.

Not if price is what you're looking for...
There's a 2004 Cobra Mustang down the street from me, going for 25,000 with a handful of miles on it-- RWHP 640.
I think that will kill your S4 and SRT put together. So, as far as the SRT is concerned, not impressed.

You can't make these kinds of asinine comparisons because they never work. I could just as easily say "my neighbor has a $5K Duster which has 900hp and runs 8's all day."

Again, you're comparing apples to oranges: a four year old 2004 Mustang pony car with all sorts of aftermarket mods and no warranty to a 8 month old Dodge Magnum wagon. Not to mention the Mustang is probably set up as a single purpose drag car. The Magnum is my family car which has a warranty, tons of room and options, etc.

I was just saying, if it's price and performance your after-- your Magnum is far from the best. I merely pointed out (just as you did to take credit away from the E55), that the Cobra is cheaper and faster then your Magnum. Just like you said afterall:

You're the one that said the Magnum SRT-8 running 12.2 with just a couple of bolt ons was "lame" and about as fast as a stock E55. This is why I brought up the price of the SRT-8 and the fact that it ran 12.2 with just a couple bolt ons, because you began the comparison with the E55 and the two cars are similar in they both offer luxury, performance, etc. Then you shifted gears and brought up the Cobra. You said my SRT-8 was lame, well I think your entire argument of bringing up all these different cars to compare the Magnum SRT-8 to is what's LAME.
