I raced against a heavily modded S4 at the pod, even though I do 0-60 sub 4 sec's this thing made me feel slow on acceleration, it was definitely the fastest accelerating car I'd ever seen, and what was even more scary was that it happened to be a manual  :scared:

Makes the case for spunking 32k on a Golf GTi even harder, when you can do 60 in 4.17 in an S4!! For £20K!!

Yep, although after Chris's efforts I expect used S4's to hold their value a little better than they were doing..

 :fighting:

Still, can't get over a stage 1 map costing £1,200!

I know it wouldn't work from a marketing perspective but wouldn't the RS4 be a better car with the 2.5TFSI in it?
