The B8 S4 is a beast for what it is and what it competes against (335). Software upgrades to the S4 would get you near M3/RS4 power but Audi is cracking down on mods so you might have issues with warranty if you go that route.
Ideally I'm looking for a V8. Thus M3, RS4, etc. What are your opinions on the B8 S5 with 4.2 V8 (no FSI, as carbon buildup seems to be a problem)
