Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

LOL, you guys are just a little shell shocked. Once you go stage 3 and get used to it, it won't seem quite as amazing. I have to say, it definitely feels a whole lot different when I'm driving alone! If anybody wants to go for a ride to see what a stage 3 feels like, just let me know, I'm more than happy to take you out!

Oh and Rob, you are right, the seats are made by Recaro.

yup seats are recaros.. b5 rs4s have better seats which were then put into the B6 and B7 S4s..

Jordan I'll def. have to get a ride set up with you when I get some spare time here, I've been dying too feel the Vast kit in all her glory for some time now. Anyone check out Dec. issue of Sport Compact Car for this years ultimate street car challenge. Appears Moss's Torque Factory S4 killed the competition, but with figures like a 11.1sec. quarter, (with full interior mind you) and 572hp and 622lb-ft to the wheels, (60 more whp and 170 more lb-ft of torque then supercharged Z06 vette), and 80-0 braking of 174ft. competition was left quivering. God I love this car!

"Seriously faster than a viper or lambo i bet.."

Corvette Z06 does the 1/4 mile stock in 10.85
Lamborghini Murcielago 11.7
Viper SRT-10 11.77

I dunno... Lambo has 570hp AND is going to be way lighter than an S4

For sure a fast car for the money.

Keep in mind this is all at sea-level.. a far cry from how they run up here. Prime example.. C5 ZO6 at RC ran mid 13's, as did a 996 turbo.
At sea level a well tuned/running stage 3 car will run in the 11's as well...

Not that I'm disagreeing with you Kris I know there is def. faster cars in the city (aka ZR's Enzo, that MC12 and several other seriously souped muscle cars) but the fastest that Road & Track could get the C6 Z06 was 12.0 @ 121mph, that one on Drag Times.com that did it in 10.856 took 52 passes to get that time and it is on Drag Radials and the DA at the time was (-)800ft. R&T's Viper SRT10's best time was 12.3 @ 118.3mph, and their Gallardo did12.1@116.9mph. There is getting to be a couple full weight Vast lemmitweaked K04 S4's with stock internals like Jeremy's breaking 11s, not the fastest out there but def. in supercar territory.

hey guys im thinking about a b5 s4 for my next car,

LOL Isn't everybody?

Eurodrivers will be solely responsible for the dramatic increase in S4 sales in the city haha. Good for the club though.

Speaking of S4's what happened to the guy with the S4 (B6?) Avant that came on the cruise with us to Gull lake last summer? Still on here?

Re: 2001 S4 bi-turbo - known issues

hahaha that is kind of true jason.. i bought my b5 2 years ago.. kyle got his .. mark sold his a4 for his.. i met so many new friends jordan, rob, lenny that all have s4s.. yea lots in the club which is GOOD though because mark and jordan know A TON about B5s in/out which helps us all when it comes to working on them..

i think mark was the first in the club with an audi though..
