[I M STIG]

I almost bought the B8 S4 before I got my M3. It's a very nice car, but for the money, I couldn't justify spending $53,000 on that car when I could go down the street and get an '09 E90 M3 for $47,800, which is what I did.

It drove well, but I'll be damned if it was putting down anywhere near what the M3 is at the rear wheels stock. It feels powerful, but every bit of high 4s to 60. My M3 I know for a fact can hit low 4s without a problem most of the time.

I do like the S4, though, don't get me wrong. I just don't see why a stock one is ever mentioned with the M3. Motor for motor, Audi can build the hell out of one, they just don't have the complete package. The last proper Audi was the RS4.
