Nice ! My friend just leased a Audi A6 4.2L and I could believe that thing packed 300 HP?! I always had respect for Audi cars and that car is the ultimate sleeper !! That thing can catch you by surprise and pass by you in an instant.

I wonder how it would match up against a GS4

Audi currently offers three model lines for its A6 series.

2.8, (piece of ****) 2.7t(this is the fastest one, using the same engine as S4), lastly 4.2 v8

2.7 bi turbo is the fastest A6 against GS4, though it will still lose, but it would be a fun match, as to 4.2 it is slower and heavier. so we can smoke it instantly, even thou it carries 300 hp.

Audi so far has no competition against GS4, even S4 needs chips/mods to be on the bar.... so don't worry. we still remain the king.

A guy that I met here locally, and ALL of the sales people at the Audi dealership here claim that the 2.7L Bi-turbo A6 is faster than the A6 with the 300hp 4.2L V8.....I still dont know if I could pass up the V8..heehee Tiny Also , from some of the things Ive seen online, it looks like S4 owners are able to pick up nearly 100hp(WHOA!) and about the same in torque with mearly a chip upgrade...That would make those cars unreal....

It's the S8 that kicks ***. 350+HP I think and a real sports suspension. Check the movie Ronin for an AMAZING demo.
