I know the feeling. My friend has a 08 GT500 and that thing makes you feel so unsafe when you are inside it and its roaring down the road.

I mean there is nothing to hold onto for safety in the car! its do or die! LOL

and this guy...who is apparently ordering a B8 S4 soon


A tuned/exhaust/testpipe B8 A4 and I had a race a month or two back, and from the words of the guys in the 'audience' he was 4 cars behind me by 4th. How this retard says he was 'pacing' a CTS-V...just randomly in his neighbourhood...not a race...and plays it off as evidence is beyond me. He has a B7 A4 2.0T with a tune. That's it. He's making 250hp. He'll run 14+ second quarter miles all day.
They might have been actually racing a stock CTS and not a CTS-V, maybe they don't know the differance? Ha!

That would have been my first guess too

The last two years of the previous CTS-V has the 6 liter engine. Its a light car and I test drove one was pretty damm fast. It destroys tires and has a hard time getting traction. No way a B8 A4 keeps up with it, once it gets moving. Initial launch for a tiny bit sure, just due to quattro. For the ist gen V, magnusson has a blower kit for it that really wakens it up. Friend of mine has one and we take turn chasing after each other on backraods with my B6 S4.

it's funny, because I think the level headed guys for the most part post here, while all the guys who don't have a grasp on performance ruin the AZ threads. None of those guys post here.

I just read the factual posts and quite frankly, I don't care what car is faster then who - All I care about is my driving experience (I have a blast each time I get behind the wheel) and keeping my S4 clean...

I've learned a lot and continue to learn a lot through both forums (lurker ftw).

(I thought PC Hardware flame wars were bad - good to know its common for forums regardless of genre...)

Well, one of them does.
Exactly, that is why I have been a member here a long time and just recently joined AZ... I said the exact same thing to Keith from APR when he asked me why I make my drag racing posts over here.... I prefer the quality of people over here more.... There is a lot more traffic over there though...

Just dumbfounded by Voltron's results I couldn't even fall back to sleep...
