I've read several S4 kill stories, but I'm always left questioning them. Well, no more. This isn't truly a kill story, but I'm still excited.
A long time buddy tells me he's test driving an '04 S4 with 25k miles, and I said where can we meet. We lined up on a six lane freeway at about 40mph (second gear start) and hit the pedal at the count of 3. We started with in hundreths of each other. Long story short, the Z slowly, but consistently pulls away. At about 110 I had a full car length, on two occasions. We did start from a 5mph roll, but the Z gets a little tail happy and that's where Audi's AWD comes into play. The gap started to close once I was in 3rd, and then traffic ruined our fun. If you didn't know before, you know now. The 340hp S4, a beautiful car btw, comes up a little short in the xcel dept. against the Z.
The End
