Default just watched a british program that pit the m3 against the new s4...

obviously the m3 was faster in a straight line... but it got schooled when they put it on a timed track with alot of hellish corners.. it came in a whole second faster then the m3. i know this is old news but i just saw it and i got excited. makes me want an s even more. i just wanna walk into YBH and slap down a check for 50 grand and have them hand over my nogaro. *cries

Default ya i saw that video

the S4 was only like a second and a half behind the lambo they tested on that course. I was suprised i actuly thoguth the M3 would pull away more on the straight line race, it was only like 1.5 car lengths ahead if that

Default Are you referring to the TopGear video? (Sade plays during the S4 review)

None of these reviews ever do a proper AWD launch though

I still find the CTS-V and the potential S40R to be more exciting options than the S4...even the upcoming Legacy turbo could be a nice little black sheep on the cheap.

The current S60R is just begging for a real turbo on its I5...could easily be a 400hp daily driver.

Cheers,
Sameer

Default S60R has got lots of potential

Much more that the B6 S4 or even the B5 S4.
