I’m driving down the highway on the way to the airport last night when I see a car come up behind me, Xenon’s & fog lights. He pulls just about even with me, it looks like a new S4, I gas it a little to see if he is interested. He comes back at me and starts to pass me when I punch it. My V-8 growls and I take off down the road easily pulling away from him. I pass some traffic and get back over to the right. He follows me for a bit and then passes me, creeping by. I can’t really see if he is an S4 or not but he has dual exhausts, as I slot behind him to pass a slower car. We were doing 70 and he hits it, me behind him. As soon as the road clears I feed the beast and jump right past him again. He couldn’t have been an S4 because I took him so easily.

He follows me off the expressway onto the bypass highway to the airport. I blow through some traffic that was just starting to move from a light in a clear lane, the Audi right behind me. I saw a 911 Cab (996) in the group of cars and sure enough he comes to the front behind the Audi. Great luck we all get off for the airport and the next light goes red, clear road for the next mile. The Audi doesn’t want any more and slots behind me giving the 911 the lane to come up to the intersection. I look over and it’s and guy in his 60’s, I creep a bit and he pulls up even with me. I’m thinking this is going to be a good race, pretty closely matched cars.

I brake torque it just a bit, 1000 rpm and roll on the gas when I see the green, still managed to spin a little. I had the jump on the 911, his nose was even with my front wheel for the first 50 ft before he began dropping back. He only stayed on it until he shifted out of first, because he dropped back 3 car lengths in a second. I was dissapointed the 911 gave up so quickly. The main airport exit comes up, I’m hoping we are all picking people up so we get a chance to chat but I was the only one to exit.

 

Congrats!

 

Nice kills!

Here by us you get the 1.8T 140KW A4's. They have 17" wheels and the S4 kit. Could've been one of those. Then again, the S4 is not quick either.

 

same here, they offer the S-Line A4 1.8TQM 140Kw, test drove one when it first came out, a very nice package but lacks punch still

 

I don’t know where you get your information from. 2004 S4's have been recorded doing 0-60 in 4.9 seconds on the stock tires (which are teh suck). I regularly roast MB AMG's on the road and to say the S4 is not quick either, it is not only a biased comment but extremely far from the truth.

 

This story is really a bit worthless. You raced an A4. Even you know that it wasn't an S4. It just doesn't add up. And then the Porsche didn't race you. For the sake of accuracy, make sure the car you're racing is actually racing you and make sure that the car is actually competition and not a 4-cylinder. I don't doubt that you could beat most S4s and probably the 911 (of an unknown year) which has less power than you, but you didn't in this case.

 

Well dudes we regularly have events (like the one on the skidpad where I posted pics) & I have buddies with an S5 & another with a C55. The C55 is MUCH faster than an S4. There is no doubt about that. Absolutely not. A C55 will blitz an S4 & just keep pulling away. Don't want to quote magazine stats but I think the gap is at least 0.5 on the 1/4 according to all major mags.

 

You might be 10 years old, or maybe you have never driven at night, in the dark, where you cannot tell what model/year/engine/HP/TQ/transmission of another car is. I don't know. What is clear is that you don't know *****. The Porsche did race me, but gave up after I began pulling away.

 

Well, it looks like you've got me pegged. You're right, I am 10 years old, I've never driven at night (how could I? I'm 10!), and I don't know ***** (when you really think about it, who does really?). You're funny, so I won't insult you in like manner. Reading your posts speaks loudly of your maturity.

My post was simply requesting accuracy before posting. Personally, if I was in your position, I would not post a race experience where the STRONG probability is that it was a 4-cylinder car. Simple as that. And I also don't imagine that it was a "kill" if I'm not sure that it was a real race. You go through first gear with a convertible Porsche and you call it a win? It just seems that you are dying for a kill story to post so anything that resembles one, you post it. Doesn't matter if it's really a good story or if it's really a kill or if the car was fast...

I'm not insulting you or your car. Just be accurate and relevant. Love ya' buddy!

Hey H-Man. I know someone down near you with an S4 Avant that you could race. Then you could come back and tell the guys how you actually did race an S4. How about it?

 

Thanks for the feedback esfo

 

Good kills.
I don't see you have any problem to SMOKE the B6 S4.

come'on......

In the S4 vs M3 vs C55 comps the S4 ALWAYS come in last for performance. I've owned A4,S4, S6, and still have an allroad, I love Audi's but you can't say the S4 competes because it doesn't. It is too heavy and the power loss due to Quattro hurts.

Now is it a fast car? Hell ya! it is a nice car? Absolutly! Does it compete, in its class for power, nope.

 

Yeah, esfo, tell 'em, you go man! I mean, from the sound of it, you must of been right there, hell, maybe you were sitting in the passenger side of the 911 to know for sure what went down that night. Either that or you must of gotten your hands on that new transporter I saw on an infomercial the other night! The one that beams you into other peoples cars and allows you to give everyone the "REAL" scoop of the race! ...and if you call right now, they'll throw in a few good kill stories you can share with your friends, all for $19.99!

Thank goodness for you esfo...otherwise I would have seriously bit on the entire story myself! I'm glad you cleared the race up for us and for the one DRIVING the car. JACKASSS!
