[s-cars] S4 sighting

[Cody Forbes]

I wouldn't compare to an urS, but I drive  the current model cars from VW and Audi all up and down the lineup almost daily. Just based on where the V6t engined S cars and they are a bit lacking in stock form. I like the V6t S5 better than the V8 S5, especially with a pulley. The V8 S5 with the APR blower (150hp over stock at the wheels) is pretty nuts though!

Car feels like a small block V8 with the torque coming in just off idle. I now have  APR stage 2 software with a pulley and this S4 would eat a heavily modded UrS for lunch.

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?  ;-)

It had the S-car emblem on the trunk lid.  I'm pretty sure it wasn't the product of badge engineering.  ;-)
