Was S4 owners help, now S4 vs Chipped 1990 200 tqa

[Tim Sexton]

I recently spent a day at the track with my stock 94 S4, running with a
buddy and his SJM chipped 200 MC2 K24 car.  He and I were dead even most
of the time.  He would gain some distance coming out of slow corners,
and I would reel him back in during the faster corners.  But, down the
long back stretch, @ 1/2 mile straight, he and I were dead even.
   However, keep in mind this was my bone stock UrS4.  If I was running
even a stage 1 chip, the UrS would be much quicker.  The UrS's don't
betray their speed nearly as much as the type 44 car though.  My 87
5kcstq mit Shrapnel knob set to 2.0 bar will just about snap your neck,
but still won't be truly as fast as a modded S4.
HTH,
Tim Sexton
