I'm just presenting facts not opinions from Dragtimes real world numbers fastest stock IS-F 12.379 fastest S4 12.698 and that was the only S4 that ran mid 12's that I could find.

At VIR IS-F on factory tires and M3 6mt with sport cup tires both ran 3:05.4 the B8 S4 ran 3:10.80 and RS4 ran 3:11.20 difference in time 0:05.76 sec I know your not comparing track times but this also help to illustrates huge differences in these vehicles.




I went to Dragtimes.com found only one S4 that ran in mid 12 sec range just one, must have been good driver and great conditions. Sure there may be more out there thay might be capable of hitting mid 12's but I would like to see at least a handful hit mid 12 mark with proof then everyone would have to acknowledge the fact that S4 can hit mid 12's consistently but until then people will doubt these claims with out hard proof not bashing its nice quick car just not as fast as M3 C63 or IS-F




When I went to dragtimes.com and compared stock 1/4 mile times of M3, IS-F and S4 these were results

Stop getting worked up. I'm not saying its faster than your car just saying they're not that slow. I said high to mid 12s and here a few more in the 12 range http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...ag-Strip-Times
