My thinking is that hurdy isn't purely into 1/4 miles drags, he does track days as well, so that rules out the S4 RS4 in my mind. 
You must have been reading too many rice mags.  The B6/B7 S4, and B7 RS4 - when used in anger on a track will leave evos and scoobs standing . . . .

I dont doubt that the big engined quattro audis are fast as fook and quick on track, i absolutely love them, but if i wanted a car to take on track and the 1/4 mile it still wouldnt be a big audi. Scoobys and evos would be much more involving and fun, as your not throwing a big heavy car around. 

queue the abuse for saying that :grin:

Sport Auto's official Ring lap results:

B7 S4 8:29

WRX STI 8:10
Evo IX 8:11

Just goes to show you how driver's balls can make a lot of difference. Very underrated car the B7 S4, very stealth too... but you can't beat physics and the lighter jap-crap will, in the hands of the same driver, pretty much beat it.

As a track tool out of the box, lighter on consumables and arguable better set up for session longevity in terms of brakes etc. than the Audi too.
