I prefer to focus on the monsterous 50-150 accelleration. I got some magazine in-gear times from a Boxster S and did some informal comparisons on deserted highway in northern Vermont last summer. The S4 was about 30% quicker--that's right, 3 out of 10 seconds!) than a Boxster S at highway speeds and above.

The funny part about that is one of the things he's killed off is the first 2 gears, so he drove it has a 4 speed for awhile. Still would have KILLED my 944! The Audi dealer was a b!tch to work with from the way he made it sound. He took off all of his goodies and the dealer in Sioux City, IA still wouldn't fix it because they said he raced it. So he ended up bringing it all the way up to Sioux falls, SD to get it done, and the dealer here did it without a question. Actually, one of the things Dano liked was a 120-140 mph roll on...that's where he was god!
