Shudder during acceleration

No, please save the Supers for the mower, the S6 should be running the
F5DP0R's. They're an excellent performing, long lasting plug that's the OEM
application anyhow. And you're not likely to find bad plug wires on an S6! I
would agree with the suggestion to at least have a look at the plugs if
possible, they've been known to loosen up on the 20vt engines(AAN).
