Default me= stg 2 A6 2.7T (S4 plus 300lbs), roommate= E39 M5

my mods are in the sig. he has an axle back exhaust, LWFW and a heavy duty clutch. from 70-120 (i was in 5th gear) we were DEAD even. nose to nose until we had to let off. i think we were both surprised at how well my car held its own...

Default True dont get me wrong i am not defending them and i actually just beat a modded one

but man....i thought they were alot faster. I remember a year or so ago my friend (punKavant stage 3 plus with awe manis intercoolers etc) ran this same m5 and it was nealy dead even traffic became an issue thoufg so we never got to finish the pull.

Default 997 compressors are slightly larger than RS6 compressors

I had 997's on my last S4 and loved them.
