Ok so last night I head out to meet up with my cousins, he and his buddy just bought matching 2001 S4. They both told me they are holding 18PSI and 320HP. We went for a ride in mine and then his. By the way his car felt I told him that he would dust me. So we all head out for a cruse. MY cousin pulls up beside me in his S4 and wants a run. So we went for it. I ended up beating him by 3/4 of a car length. I was shocked and so was he. HE wasnt to happy after that.

Funny thing is they were al cutting up my BALT saying its a AMERICAN SLED. Guess I showed them all up!

Has anyone else raced an S4 ? By the way I only have my tranny mounts done with an ingals, CAI and I got a CF WING THAT of course gave me the extra 100hp LOL

please comment on this i was very shocked. and by the way yes the driver of the S4 can drive very well.

something doesnt sound right because i heard that s4 chipped whould leave us in the dust!!

Most AWD cars are not fast from a roll (which i guess is what you did). The s4 is a pretty heavy car but I love that car.

R&C_rallySS

S4 is heavy, and AWD doesn't help its cause from a roll. To me those cars are awesome but is more of a luxury type vehicle. I have beat also beat S4s but I have stage II and mods in my sig. I don't think I could of done it stock.

I think 3/4 of a car length from a roll on a stock cobalt sounds reasonable.

war stories..

2001? Thats the I6 model, I suppose crazier things have happened.. Some unexplained and misunderstood factors (gear choice, from a roll/or drag etc) could have resulted in the outcome posted. I would bet on the S4 to win, but truthfully i've driven both cars and the S4 doesn't really feel that much faster until you wind the tach into the upper RPMs - which is where most mid sized German cars prefer to pull the hardest. Nice kill

Hmmm holding 18 psi is totally wrong, any chip will atleast give those cars around 20-21psi and hold it i thought??? Kind of hard to believe, but good kill!

bluefox

yes it was from a rolling start around 80 km/h and i could be wrong on the psi! I was just so happy that i beat a bi turbo car! I showed them !

i ran a s4 that sounded mean as hell...must have been a different turbo but fro 40 he put 1 car on me by mid 3rd...but my ac was on high so i dont know if that matterd...

Stock '01 S4's are low 14's from a dig, but they're AWD and 3600 pounds, so a roll race with a stock one probably goes easily to the SS S/C. An '01 S4 pushing 320 HP, even at the crank, would nail a stock SS S/C from a roll though (AWD can't totally diminish that large of a power increase), so I'd say the OP's cousin is BS'ing about the power he's putting down... unless there's a dyno graph saying otherwise .

Still, nice kill OP.

A/C cuts out when you go WOT IIRC, so no, it didn't matter.

maybe it was a badged up A4? lol

ckymike

With giac-x chip they spike 20 hold 18



If the guy has that above said chip he would be making approx 330 whp. If it was one of the others it would be 310-320 whp. Another big difference is if it had downpipes/exhaust.



OP, good kill, id really love to race an ss/sc and see how id fare, anyone in the tristate down for some pulls??

Badju587

That's kinda what I was getting at, if a chipped S4 pulls 330 AWHP, that's around 400 crank. It should pretty well dismantle a stock SS S/C (210-ish WHP) from a dig or roll, which is why I think his cousin either lied about his mods, or is just a really bad driver.

If neither are the case, then methinks I'll just have to find one to race myself.

i want to know cuz my buddy just got a 2002 s4 stock. was curious what my chances were. im stage 2 btw
