Default APR Stage 3 VS. Stock S4

I need everyones help on this one. I am trying to win an arguement with a guy at my work. He is saying that a Stock S4 will blow a APR Stage 3 1.8T out of the water. I said that the Stage 3 will give a stock S4 a run for it's money. So i am asking you guys to write in, so I could print some replies out and prove it to him with hard evidence.....
If anyone has performance numbers and specs, those would help a lot.
Thanx

Default Stage 3 = 280 ft-lbs/300 hp

The S4 will develop more torque earlier on, but the numbers suggest that the S4 won't leave the stage 3 in the dust! I suspect it would be pretty close.

On the highway...say 50-100 mph, I suspect the stage 3 would be at home and may pull ahead.

Just my interpretation of the numbers....

Default RS posted this back a few pages....

<i>APR stage III (not plus):

1/4 mile 13.5-13.8 seconds @103-104 mph
60' 2.0 seconds
155 mph top speed

Please post the torque numbers you get, or if you need more data.

I'd say that the Stage III A4 should be able to beat a stock S4 without much difficulty. It has more HP (280 versus 250) in a lighter car.
