Okay, so a completely redundant and obvious post, but I have to express my glee to those who can understand and relate. Also, if you're browsing this forum trying to get an idea of S4 owners' feelings...

I was driving to the dealer today, grumbling about the 3rd time I've had to have my CD changer replaced, and I took the back roads. The route is pretty bumpy with a lot of 25-30mph curves. I had the road to myself and really pushed it around the corners. Man, I couldn't stop smiling! The way this car grips the road, the nice drift you get, the smooth accelleration out of the turn, the rumble of the big V8... it's a blast! Forgot all about the CDs.

There is a lot of talk in this forum about EVOs and STi's and whatever, but all I can say is:

If you want a super fast vehicle, get an EVO or whatever. Better still, get one of these:



I've gotten mine up to 178mph and nothing beats the rush.

If you want something reliable, get a Honda.

If you want a badass car with a lot of luxury, power, grip and fun, the S4 is hard to beat.

By the way, I saw an RS4 while I was at the dealer. Just kill me now - I want it BAD!

 

178 indicated on speedo or GPS? Not actual speed if it is on your speedo. Probably closer to 158-162. Still hella fast.

GPS gives the best reading on speed

 

I have to say its a good feeling to know that i am most likely faster than most cars i pass on the road yet they dont have a clue. Its pretty fun. and still cruisin in luxury!

 

Top speed for this bike is 180 and I had it pretty much topped out. Not sure how you get a satellite to tell you how fast you're going, but whatever, the point is that it's hard to get even close to that in any car. And the bike is only $10K. The stereo kinda sucks though

I've been reading a lot in this forum about all the various mods and it sounds like the best bang for the buck on the B7 are the downpipes (Neuspeed?) and maybe the whole exhaust setup. Then wait for the supercharger and take out a second mortgage on the house to get it. Oh, wait, I already did that to get the car... In the bit of research I've done, sounds like it's harder to get the downpipes for the tiptronic?

 

Actually the busa is electronically limited at 186. If you were to hit 186 on your bike it would indicate close to 210-215, unless you have a speedo healer. Just think you have a machine that will do close to 190 and you didnt even have to take a second mortgage out, or did you....lol

 

i bet i could come close if not reach it.

 

sooks, considering all I have is a giac chip and DV's and I can hit 150=155 with my GPS unit. Im sure you could come real close to 185 with all your mods. And you wouldn't even have to tuck....lol

 

wait i thought they claimed top speed was 220
