Default This doesn't seem right

Okay-so I'm at a light with Dodge SRT4 - We get going and I'm ahead through first gear - let the car do the tiptronic auto shift and he starts pulling away . . .

Only thing I'm thinking is I should have shifted myself . . .

That and the turbo on his car kicked in about there . . . or the fact that he's got about 2k lbs on me . . .

Still - I'm feeling quite inadequate at the moment. Wife thought it was funny.

01 S8 45k miles . . .


Where's that bi-turbo when you need it . . .

Default There are some 460HP biturbo RS4 wagons on this board. You never know what they have hidden in there

I still say someone should take the plunge and install one of those remote turbo kits to scope out new territory for us.

We already know that more than a couple people have dropped a turbo or two into an S8 without any problems other than figuring out where to put all the plumbing.

Default I wouldn't feel bad, that little SRT-4 is the quickest Dodge in the history of the company ...

... and is currently only outpaced by the Viper.

I'm thinking that they wanted an EVO Killer.
