[Biturbos4] probably the slowest 0-60 time ever

[mrdezign at netscape.net]

my 2001 S4 Avant has less than 40K on the clock. still looks, runs and 
drives like new. bought for long road trips which haven't happened for 
several years. maybe it's time to sell? still think the biturbo is the 
best looking. can't warm up to the cow catcher grills on the newer 
models although the twin turbo thrust does pull like a freight train.

kent.

Gee and a full tank of gas !!!

Wow, only 60K.  Sold my 2001 Audi S4 last October with only 72k.  Loved 
that
car.

Had my heart set on a 2008 V8 S4.   I tried it and was disappointed.   
It
might be a little faster than the twin turbo if pushed. However, like 
the
BMW M3, you have to work at it to make it go.

   Bought a BMW leftover 2008 135i.  Big mistake.  The car was out of 
control
with the automatic that did things.. like downshifting to third at 65 
mph
unexpectedly.  No traction especially compared to the S4.  Unloaded 
that car
and bought  2008 BMW 335i with 6 speed.  It is fast, and responds with 
a lot
of torgue like the 2001 Audi.  But so far, the 2001 Audi was the best 
car I
ever owned overall.

 Enjoy it..  I'm sure you have changed the timing belt by now
