Makes the case for spunking 32k on a Golf GTi even harder, when you can do 60 in 4.17 in an S4!! For £20K!!

Great vid... if they fixed the underside trim that was flapping about, it may have held that 2 yards.  Quite amazing though.

I saw the S4 before the exhaust when was fitted down at Revo and it was way mankier than it looked in the videos but once its been tidied up it will be a bargain car for sure.

£1200 for a stage 1 remap  :scared:

I do love the S4 though.  Stunning motor.

Love em, me and my brothers one below. Stage one with a lovely sounding Milltek TBE. I've never been in an RS4 but a Stage 1 S4 is silly quick enough for me.  :happy2:

I raced against a heavily modded S4 at the pod, even though I do 0-60 sub 4 sec's this thing made me feel slow on acceleration, it was definitely the fastest accelerating car I'd ever seen, and what was even more scary was that it happened to be a manual  :scared:

Yep, although after Chris's efforts I expect used S4's to hold their value a little better than they were doing..

 :fighting:

Still, can't get over a stage 1 map costing £1,200!

I know it wouldn't work from a marketing perspective but wouldn't the RS4 be a better car with the 2.5TFSI in it?

I'd say so, its the most desireable engine in there line up IMO
