I remember reading the S4 review from Road and Track and it was beating a Camaro SS 0-60 and out handling it.

ORIGINAL: GRNDHOG

as the title says...

for example?

v8 mustang? what gen? my 1.8t stage 1+(apr 93, but supporting mods) will run with most fox body to 93 stangs (302 stangs)
lightning? you are talking luxuary car v sport truck
camaro? again, i can walk/run v6 and would probably be able to handle any 305
boxster? sport coupe
corvette? sport car
honda civic? um........ ok
as for the civics... depends on the mods and driver, but there really isn't any comparrison, unless like sweeds said you are talking autox or something of that nature....... you should of said a turbo rsx or something nicer.... but still i don't thing much comparo


just curious how these stand up to the general population

don't worry, once you go stage 3 you'll be able to hang with Lambo's, Ferrari's, Veyrons, McLauren's, you name it!

v8 mustang - Faster than just about any stock mustang except cobras and gt500's
lightning? - Faster, the truck is still a truck
camaro? - Faster
boxster? - Faster
cayman S - Faster
911 - my stage 2 is faster...
corvette? - Probably wouldnt put money on it without k04's
honda civic? - clearly a joke
300zx - About equal
350Z - bye bye
M3 - ok, not the new v8 but most others

Now, some of these cars may have better handling characteristics (the porsches and m3 IMO) but the s4 holds its own pretty well and will supprise alot of people. LIke sweed said results are going to be different at the drag strip, auto x, road coarse, and on the street.

sorry, I should have been more specific. I was thinking about just street light to street light type of "races". cars you'd pull up to at a stoplight.

I do have to say that I'm surprised that the lightning wouldn't fare so well against a s4. Don't they have around 400hp supercharged? I know its a truck, but they don't weigh all that much compared to other trucks.

what about WRXs and Evo8s?


I guess I should pony up some day against some cars i get next to, but I'm too much of a chicken, haha. although what started me thinking about this was me next to a new shelby mustang yesterday. I tried everything I could to get next to him, but there was always a car around and that would have been too dangerous for a commute home from work

stock WRX is toast. STI and EVO are close though

the S4 beats them all in style (except maybe the 911), and in comfort!
