I was wondering if any of you guys would know which car would win in this scenario, or if this anyone has run against a CL-S.

2003 Acura CL type S (FWD)
6-spd manual transmission
260HP @ 6100RPM
232 lb-ft @ 3500RPM
curb wieght: 3510lbs

2002 Audi S4 (AWD)
6-spd manual transmission
250HP@5800RPM
258lb-ft @ 1850RPM
curb weight: 3593lbs

The S4 should win hands down. The only chance the CL-S might have would be on the freeway at speed. Off the line is would be ugly. Even if the CL had the limited slip...(can't remember when they put it in, but I believe they included it with the manual trannie), It would have 0 chance off the line.
