All cheaper and perform as well or better than APR. There's a guy in California who recently ran an 11.1 with his full weight K04 S4. Dave at EPL has installed some RS6 hybrid turbos on his S4 and is putting down around 550 horsepower to the wheels. The S4 is a 3600 lb. car so a lot lighter than the E55. The B5 S4 scene is getting exciting b/c new tuning/turbo packages are making them faster and faster.

yup....ASP just came out with a RS6 kit for the B5 S4..and some other peolple are working on cheaper GT25/28 kits .......

sounds like airplane
i'm not talking about the 80s. I have spent a ton of time around B5 S4s- many of them with quite a lot of tuning done to them.

I decided I am going to keep it for now. I have found other ways to get the money I needed... Money will be very good from now on if things go as planned... I wont be getting rid of the benz until I am ready to start buying cars that are well over 100k... I mean what could I possibly want more than a LOW 12 sec benz(with 4 doors) for less than 130K?

I LOVE this car.
