beaten by a 2014 S4
Ran into a new Audi S4 3.0T (AWD), owner claimed its stock with 333 bhp.
Did a 0-50 in a safe environment from a stop. I got beat by half a Car.
I have full I/H/E with sport mode and manual shift. The S4 claimed it's the AWD got him the upper hand. My question is that does it really make up the 100+ hp different? Or it might be me who sucks at launching the car.
Any input? Thanks

Newer S4's = shorter 1st and 2nd gearing and rear diff than the ISF, AWD, and low end torque due to the supercharger, the ISF will be beat from a standstill. From a roll (higher speeds the better,) ISF will take it.
ISF isn't a drag car by any means, so don't be too shocked if sub 400hp cars get the better of you from a standstill. I've raced stock 335is from light to light and it was dead even from 0-50mph, wasn't until after 50mph that the ISF gets into its element and pulls away quickly afterwards.

In the grand scheme of things, and what is out there these days, these cars just can't hang. They are really fun to drive, handle decently, reliable, look great, but they are not fast. There is just a whole slew of cars, modded and stock that will put the hurting on these things on the street.

Lexus Champion
This is why Lexus needs to go F/I in all of their models. My 535i has bolt ons and a tune and right now I'll take down M3's and M5's never ran a F but I can imagine I'll pull on one as well. Even though theres some downsides to F/I its overall better.

Def due to the awd.......thats not a real race in my opinion. Like everyone said....0-50 the F doesnt shine only after that it starts to take flight.....by 1/8th of a mile you would have been waving bye bye...

Was it chipped? A little APR tune on that 3.0T and that things got over 400HP...

The other non-APR tunes are rated even higher.
