Stock to stock, how would a race play out?

I would think S4 takes the lead in a stoplight race easy, but at speed the S2000 would pull away.

True?

I don't know, S4 stays pretty quick the whole way. Never tried them head to head, bust on over to my place with your S2000 and we'll see

Damn, man, you have some nice ass cars! Care to give me input on how they feel in comparison to each other? Which would you pick as your fav between the three you have?

I had A4's in my class when I Auto-X
for the first time and beat them. Not
by much but they had done this a lot
and I had not.The A4's were prepped...
All I did was pull out the floor mats.

A4 is quite a bit different from S4 (and, of course, Autocross performance indicates little or nothing about straightline, stoplight to stoplight acceleration).

Tests have clocked stock S4 at around 5.9 to 60. That's competitive with an S2000 though probably a bit slower with two equally skilled drivers.

Sounds like it would come down to launch and luck.

Me thinks the S4 will have the advantage more consistantly with the huge amount of torque is has on tap that peaks at such a low RPM. Not to mention that an easily installed chip usually propells S4's into the 300hp range.

They may be a little boring looking but they're damn quick.

I myself wouldn't mind owning a RS4 if they actually sold it in the states. Talk about embarrasing most supercars in a station wagon!
