Default More of a match for an A4 methinks?

This is from a 5 mile run I did: Me (Stock S4), A4 2.8 and RX-8

They were playing around and I was tagging along - but having no trouble keeping on their tails.

Default The RX-8 is so much better balanced

Not to mention, it weighs a lot less.

Yes, it's short on torque, but damn rotaries are fun... and it's leased in hopes they do another RX-7 in the future.

I'd much rather track the RX-8 modded, than the S4... and it's a fun auto-x car too.

Of course, it's no match on the street for my Stage 2+ S4.

Default I was comparing 1/4 mile times. I didn't say he would lose above....

I was giving a specific example of distance he would be leading by at a specific speed.

I don't dispute your claim at all - I was just expanding beyond that scope.
