[s-cars] S4 sighting

[Cody Forbes]

Note that the T in V6T stands for "supercharged". It's got a twin screw blower. Slow until you do APR pulley and software, then it's about as fast as an S car should be stock.

I passed him and he passed me several times in our nearly 100 miles of our little game of tag.  Like I say, the model is a whole lot newer than my '95.5 S6.  What year?  I have no real idea.  Platform?  Uh...  Isn't that what the politicos are trying to come up with these days?  ;-)

>>> The car was a later model than '95.  The plates were from NC and the DRLs had the "eyebrow" lamp pattern.  I'd guess '04-'07 or so but it definitely was not a '95 or 95.5 S6 or earlier S4.  It had the S-car emblem on the trunk lid.  I'm pretty sure it wasn't the product of badge engineering.  ;-)
