Man, owning a B6 S4 early must have been rough if you wanted to modify it.
The sheer number of guys who bought B6 S4s early in the day and were completely turned off of NA performance cars when the mods did fuck all is astounding. So many of those guys thought the b6 sucked because the crap products APR/AWE/etc were selling didn’t work…and that attitude about the B6 and NA Audis in general has polluted the fuck out of the forums. Dr GP, Dr Volkl…guys like them are a great example. They were stunned when I posted a video of my B7 running 12.9 with piggies and tune. They had told me a dozen times the NA cars don’t respond to mods like the B8 etc. (they both owned B6 S4s early…both spent thousands on crap…and both sold them and bought B8 S4s)
Anyone see me arguing with the B8 and B5 guys on quattrofail? They’re all talking about how the B7 RS4 is ‘slower’ than the B8, is not modable, etc. I showed them that 2 B7 RS4s have run 12.2 with bolt ons on pump gas. Nobody even replied to the posts other than to make jokes about other shit, or to get off topic.
It’s really incredible how ignorant the general community really is. As always there are people who know what’s possible, but god damn it’s annoying.
