Silversurfer, one of the negatives of getting the Tip is that it's a lot slower than the 6-speed. One second slower to 60.

You'll have to chip it to compete with a well-driven S2000.

"MD, do you think it would wax a SC'd S2K? I am hoping it wont but will be pleasantly surprised if it does...then I wont have to chip the S4."

I'm well aware Silver didn't buy the S4 for strict performance, thus the Tip.

But when he said this, it gave me the impression he was actually attracted to the kick ass abilities of the S4... which would be best addressed by the six-speed... yo.

I take it you have the Tip, RT.

And Silver, how the hell do you expect to spank me in anything? No canes allowed.

Silver
Yes my S4 will spank any S2000, including a SC one. (see below for reason)
erik
My particular S4 has 430 hp and over 450 foot pounds at 1850 rpm, so any v8 Ferrari (older v12)at this altitude (6000 feet) is going to die!! My S2000 may beat my S4 when I am done moding it though. BTW Silver, get a six speed wagon, those ROCK, I am actualy thinking of getting an S4 wagon to replace my Golf TDI as my winter car (replace my current S4 as well!!).
