that’s a great thread. It’s like a bunch of 16 year old kids own B8 S4s and think you can’t make power without forced induction because they are used to buying old small turbo cars and have a modest mods budget and can only afford a tune.
Some of the beauties:

It’s funny. Let’s have a look at the dumb engine
stock B8 S4 best 1/4 mile 12.69
tune/bolt ons etc. = 12.2-12.4
stock B7 RS4 best 1/4 mile = 12.75
tune/bolt ons etc. = 12.2-12.4
I don’t get this fascination with forced induction from people who own $60,000 cars. Are they really this closed minded and ignorant to not know that the M3/C63/RS4…all NA cars… are all responding to modifications just as well or in fact BETTER than ANY B8 S4? C63s are running 10s with bolt ons. M3s are running 11s with bolt ons. An RS4 with NO TUNE just ran 12.2 with a couple of bolt ons. What planet are these retards on that they don’t know what other performance cars are doing?
Good to see richi step up in there with some sanity
[quote=richib86]you would absolutely be happy with it. a lot of people talk SOOOOO much shit about the rs4 motor but the vast majority have never even driven one to experience the awesome high revving v8 and the unique driving experience it offers. and out of the box a b7 rs4 and b8 s4 have super comparable performance but the b8 rs4 motor has more power and a hugely improved intake design. sure the tuning isn’t as easy on the N/A motor but thats def not to say it can’t be had. the rs4 AND rs5 are both great cars in my book and i would totally go for a b8 rs4 avant in panther black tho the auto trans is my only gripe. and for whoever said they didn’t do much with the fenders is dead wrong…
