S4 eats it alive with $600 dollar chip. Not even a contest. Imagine the S4 acceleration curve an inch higher everywhere.
Even considering the base price of each car (~$20000 for reasonable S4, more like 10-12 for a 2.8 30V+5000 for supercharger) the S4 will be in a different league with another $600 . Besides, the 2.8 will need supporting mods to compete (suspension, braking, etc) and it won't look as good without another couple grand.

No contest in my mind. Besides, this is where the fun stops with the 30V. With the S4 you're only at the bottom of the heap.

i haver never agreed so much, i am 95% sure i am going for the s4, it is faster with chip, comes wiuth xenon lights, body kit, lower, and i can get one with heatedseats for when i go to the mountians or get cold in the mourning.
