S4's aren't that special.

one w/ 400hp is
The RS4 is a twin turbo v8 w/ ~450hp that is scheduled to come to the US shortly after the new S4 (~350-360hp

Here we have APR's (Audi Performance Racing) Audi S4 that was entered in the Gumball race earlier this year, straightening up a bowtie.
2.7L V6 twin-turbo with 400hp and quattro AWD.
Yea a unreliable, aftermarket car beat a Stock factory car by a one and half car length. Give me a break.
If the corvette was a Ling. it would not have even been close, and the Ling. is a lot more reliable.
God not another "my car is better than yours" thread. A $20k bowtie with a LS1 and less than $10k worth of mods would spank both the Z06 and S4. Does that make it special? No

Hey! Let's all make EXCUSES! I didn't say one car was superior to the other- I love both of them. I just wanted you guys to see a cool video.
where do you get your claims that the S4 isn't reliable... from what i've heard its a very reliable car... then again i'm an Audi slut.Originally posted by: Marlin1975

HELLO!!! Did you even watch the Video?? I guess not as the first 1-2 Min's(of a 3min video) is them fixing it at a Circuit City at MidNight.
Geeze, you guys didn't take that very well...
For the record, I love Audi - Especially RS's.
But compared to an RS4, a modded S4 isn't special - It may be close to as fast, but it's not as rare or coveted as the RS4.

Yep, the S4 is an incredibly reliable car- above average at worst. Who knows what happened at the beginning of the video (wish they would have finished explaining), but that car is the tuner's prototype- nothing is perfect. It belongs to APR, probably the nation's best Audi/Volkswagen tuner (Houston, TX).
Please guys, no ridiculous flames- get a life. Both cars are equally cool and equally highly regarded in the automotive world and I drool whenever I see either of them on the street. Now shut up and give it a rest already.

i love how people get offended..
both are very nice cars, though i'd definately choose the audi for myself.
to call the audi unreliable because it needed a blow off valve clamp.. heh.. woo boy..

Isn't it funny? Some people just aren't mature enough to handle videos like this. I'd take the Audi over the C5 any day of the week as well. Yeah, and the blow-off valve clamp was screwed with by the tuner/user before. I'm sure it came perfectly attached from the factory. People also need to remember that this particular S4 sucessfully completed the Gumball 3000 race which is run from coast to coast at sustained high velocities for hours at a time. Most cars would not be able to last for 5 days straight under those conditions. Not trying to change the topic, but the S4 is solid in stock or modified flavors, at any speed in any weather condition. End of story.

Dude what is wrong with you? From all your posts you seem to be cynical and disparaging whatever post you're responding to. You don't even know what you're talking about. The S4 beat the Corvette and that's all that matters in a race.
OMG...i can't believe i'm the only one wondering how somebody got into a Circuit City @ midnight. Surely they're not open that late...and even if there is a night crew there to put out stock, what manager lets somebody pull their cars in there?

A Ling has with it swapped pistons and many others pieces, plus turbo(s), a aftermarket S4, for the most part, has the same internal parts as a stock S4, the comparison is unfair.
