Eat this 2 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 youch is it the v8 or twin turbo 6 pot? Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Sh1t that was quick! How nuch it set you back? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 its the 2.7 30v V6 twin turbo. Dub Weiser, got it down to 11.5kIts a weird feeling when you put your foot down. It doesnt seem fast. The only things that give it away is:1) You pass traffic going the same way like its going the other way2) You come up a sliproad, see all is clear behind you......floor it and before long you go DEEP into 3 figures.missing the sound of a VR6 at full chat though Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 v6s should sound lurvly s cars do hav a rep for being remote not feelin fast just heaving great swathes of tarmac behind u Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 is it MUCH quicker than vr i always thought the extra weight + extra transmision loss would drop wheel bhp/ton ratio fairly close to vr (at least not a hell of a lot more) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 i would have to say yes. Although you feel the power more in the VR6. The S4 just gets you there.standard S4 is 265bhp at flywheel. Yes it has four wheel drive which also zaps power, but the speedo moves as fast as the rev counter ! Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 whats the gearin like? shorter or longer than vr Link to post Share on other sites
tommy 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 superb olly......................glad you got one and so soon 8o) ............looks like you'll have to take me out for a spin at the rr day ......................we want pic's Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 s4 avant is going to be quicker than the vr, more refined in its delivery to the tarmac too, since its 4wd. Good choice, i have my eye on the a3 3.2 quattro at the moment (24k). Nice car. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Olly_K Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Thanks everyone, the pics i have of it are crap. When i pick it up on next saturday i'll take some better ones then. !Not sure on mods, will deffo be doing either the Revo or AmD remap (or i might speak to Kim at QST) which should take power to around 310bhp, with almost double the torque of my VR6. Might get some alloys, not sure though. And that will probably be about it !argh.......one more week till i pick it up ![ Edited Sat Oct 02 2004, 09:05AM ] Link to post Share on other sites

tommy 0 Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 LOL !i wouldnt go that far. Would be interesting to see a VR6 up against it in a straight line thoughI think the only thing that may come close to a standard s4 would be a very very modded vr, charger so on........ and even then a chip for the s4 would sort that out, the s4 is in a different league!
