The S4 twin turbo is Slow

[Beatty, Robert]

Javad is correct.... 4wd cars DONT do well at the dragstrip or you would see
the top fuel cars in 4wd... if you dont do it just perfectly they bog down
or smoke the clutch... watching the top rally cars leave the line at mt
washington one can see this as well... the RWD cars with loads of HP leave
just as fast if not faster in most cases than the quattro cars....

all wheel drive cars are hard to launch???? WHAT. The whole point of quattro

is no wheel spin????? That is the big advantage. It is like a cheat.  I am a

Audi person to the fullest, but I was very dissapointed last night.  I have 
never had a problem launching my quattro.  I would take everyone out in the 
rain so your making excuses for quattro on dry pavement ?

My friend has a WRX and he would have destroyed anyone of those S4s for half

the price.  All I know is they make a million "S" cars now and they are not 
representing in my opinion. I only respect the real "S" cars you know the 
ones that only came in stick and were actually rare and limited cars. Audi
is 
sold out on the the "S" cars. DId you notice that they made the badges 
different for 2001. They are bigger now so that people can read them. The 
original badges were small and unable to be read unless you were right on 
them. That was for the sleeper factor.

You can disagree all you want but come on there is a Speed and Horsepower
war 
out there. Audi better bring some RS cars over here to kick ass. Cause the 
250 HP is not cutting it. Toyota camarys and Honda accords have 200 HP now.
