a bunch of us rode in steve powers' s6 wagon recently.  perhaps the
biggest difference i noticed over the '93 s4 that i drove was that
the ride quality was better.   it still goes like stink, even with
a passenger load of 5!

servotronic can be easily disabled!  pull the plug and you're back to
regular power steering.

i would take an s4/s6 because it has a stiffer body and thus better
handling and ride.  plus i love that overboost....
