I started this therad on a few other forums seeking some information.
When I had a JHM tune/piggies/catback B7 S4, I raced a stage II B5 S4 once (GIACtune /AWE DP/AWE CB) and I beat him pretty soundly (race #6 below). This surprised lots of the guys at the meet we were at. They were all convinced I was going to get crushed. Why?
Well, for starters because B5 S4 trolls would constantly say that any tuned or stage II B5 would crush any B6/7. I think the birth of this myth was
a. Dan @ JHM going low 12s in his K03 B5 S4. All Stage 1 and 2 B5 guys clung toi this result as defining their K03 powered cars. This is what we can do! Actually no, you can’t. This is what you can do when you run race gas and turbo blade bending levels of boost. Dan killed his K03s real quick, and it was so violent, VAST made a video of it to show the destruction

b. Audiworld’s performance comparison of B5 vs B6. On the arrival of the B6 S4 on the scene, Audiworld did a ‘performance test’ to compare a stock B5, stage1 B5, stage 2 B5 and stock B6. The B6 lost just about everything. They cut a 0-60 mph time in like 6.3 seconds in the B6 lol. Everything made the B6 look horrible.

Then you read the fine print and realise…the guys who wrote the ‘article’ for the website were B5 S4 trolls who had shit-talked the B6 the minute it was announced. Clearly not a good represnetation of what the B6 could do. We saw Motor Trend run it to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Road and Track had it at 5.1 seconds. Same with Car and Driver. So clearly Audiworld guys were fucking around and wasting our time. Unfortunately lots of forumites read that article and the info stuck in their head.
So I asked on quattrofail B5, audizine B5, audizine B6, euroaddiciton B6…for videos of B6/7 S4s vs. B5 S4s on K03 turbos. Here’s what I found…(excuse the funky coding…this is brought from a different forum from 3 years ago)

Post up whatever you can find and give some info. It’ll be interesting to see what’s out there. I just love watching cars do pulls, win or lose.
