Could have sworn the post said I not everyone. As in, I would hate getting blowng away, which is why the S5 with a V8 would not be on my list. Because I prefer to have a car that can back up its looks, instead of posing. Make sense?
It must suck seeing an S5? I never see S5's, I look out through the front windshield, not the rear window. No one in their right mind would consider your S5 better looking than my M3, sorry.
What chipped S4's are doing to M3's? Huh? My M3 ran 12.1 with bolt on's son, the M3 has broken into the 11's with bolt on's, where is the S4 again? Sounds like you are racing on paper instead of in reality. What does my M3 do with a supercharger vs. the S4 with a supercharger? Oh, is that not a fair comparison because the M3 is that much stronger with boost?

(obviously I know it isn't, but if we were discussing looks - everybody has their own opinion)

Perhaps I'm not in my right mind... But I think the S5 is one of the better looking cars on the road... Whereas the M3 looks like just another 3 series family sedan (or coupe). I see them everywhere.

Uh, bud, he mentioned the 1/4 mile times and specifically asked you to let him know when S4's get anywhere near where M3's are. As in, M3's have been running from a dig on the strip, where are the S4's? I haven't seen any times of significance that compare, have you? Do you really think S4's are going to be running in the 11's? LOL
Getting close... B8 S4 with APR tune. I don't think anyone should be cross shopping S4's and M3's anyhow. One's made for a track and ones more a luxo cruiser... one is also much more user friendly in the snow/rain.

Btw- If you ever want to check them out in person, or get to drive a couple (DSG vs 6spd, chipped vs non) let me know... the local B8 crew gets together here and there (all audi fans and have most have had several versions of the S/RS) and we'd be happy to let you do some testing! Chances are slim to none that I'll take it to E@RTC just because that's a day I'd be driving my 997.

What other mods? 116 trap seems extremely high for just a tune, thats almost a 10 mph jump in trap speed.

It's still his daily driver (as far as I know) so there's really nothing radical done to it.
APR's tune is $1500.
I'll be doing the 93 octane tune here in a month, as soon as winter is over. I'll take it to the strip and see what I can do at some point... It won't break 11's like that, but it's not a bad start for what it is.
There's plenty more to be found in this car, things are just getting started.

Which one is made for the track and which one is more of a luxo cruiser?
