It idles nearly as well as a stock car. What you saw was anti-lag.

Default Say what you want. I've been in a 9 second S4 with OEM block, heads, etc that says otherwise.

On the juice, it made over 1000 hp, and it was stock displacement.

Default This is even more perfectly insane than a regular S6 or RS6 Avant:)

Drive the same crappy cheap Italian cars for 12 years and amazingly you do save some money - which if you are car nuts, you blow on a much more expensive if equally suspect Italian cars

The A3 goes back on lease this Spring, and Hubby has been using it for his commuter. He wants something something with a drop-top, more of a "magic carpet", and he wants a warranty. But I said he can't have a Merc SL becase;
1. it doesn't have a manual
2. Mercedes is at the bottom of reliability lists. I don't mind low standings, but bottom is bottom.
3. He's Asian, and that stereotype is too much!
We've rented the S4 Cab before for ski trips, and it works out fine. Thankfully the Gallardo and 360 Spider make terrible ski cars in addition to being much to expensive;-)

Default Between bespoke parts, labour, and now tuning/testing, I bet it's not much if any cheaper

than a Ferrari

Torys S4 was 630 at the wheels and it did not have much of what this car has.
