S4 owners help

[Ron Wainwright]

  Eric, listers

  Looks like Eric is the only one with some advice for
me,
 While I thank him I all ready looked at SJM's site it
is very informative but I own a 90 200tqa not 91 and I
have a wagon not a sedan so the comparisons weren't of
any use to me I still found it interesting,
  I said that my car a 90 200tqa with IA stageII chip
and 2.0 bar is getting around 225HP and the S4 has
227HP stock I'm just a little shocked that my car
feels faster than the S4.
 Maybe I should post something on the S4 site since
I've only gotten 1 response I was hoping for a lot
more cause I'd like some info on this model and the
options
 I'm not sure this matters but I'm on the digest not
the main list
 do I get all the mails that everyone else gets?
Thanks
Ron
