Default What does a C43 rate- a stock S4, Stg 1, 2, 3?!?

I guy at my club walked by and said, looking at the S; "Nice car, but not as nice as a C43" as he climbed into his and sped off.

Them's fightin' words.

What can that car do? If they are fast, can they corner at all?

I'm Tip Stage 2 w/ X-sauce and suspension mods.

Default Stock up to about 100mph.

It's a 302hp V8. But a stock S4 will be ahead of it at the quarter, although the C43 should slightly outpull a stock S4 past 100mph.

Default Aren't they supposed to be really good from a roll?

BTW with a few mods, those cars can be killers...

Default BTW- here's what a search turned up on C43 vs. S4 (and M3):

I'd suspect most N/A V8's are good from a roll.
