yes and number for the SS are very close to stock S4 5.5 to 60 and 13.9 in the 1/4 but....
traction is what holds this car back. With a set of Nitto's the SS is under 5sec to 60 and a SS with headers and new nitto's spanked me repeatedly. I'm runnin x-doritos and borla. For comparison I can walk all over Special Ann. WS6's.

look at it this way: forced induction is equivalent to larger displacement.
If you're boosting 2 ATM then you've effectively doubled your displacement. A forced induction car is kind of like a variable displacement engine.

Yup, traction is tough for them....but when hooked up, Z28s or SSs run 13.6-13.3s here all the time.
Makes me sick. A guy I know had a WS6 with 4.10 gears, exhaust, free mods, lid, Nittos, some great driving skills and one hell of a strong car from the factory run 11.9 @ 114mph!!!! That's damn impressive for less than 1000 in mods and no headers. Too bad he hit an oil slick in the rain, loss control and totalled the car. 
If I was him, I would have bought the car back and kept that motor....cause it was a monster.

That WS6 sounded sick..my friend did the same with his first WS6 but he lent it to a friend who....
didn't realize 380hp+RWD+rain=slow the fvck down he bent the frame when he hit a median at 90mph. I have raced him in his new one on wet roads and he will spin the tires on the 3rd gear shift and they just wont hook up.
