That looks like a B5 avant. It’s like a unicorn, a B5 S4 that didn’t blow up just by accelerating down the strip. I hear if you take a B5 to the strip it’s bound to break an axel, smoke the clutch, eat the trans, and blow the motor, and that’s just while in the staging lane!
hehhe that B4 ran good =D considering i was taping almost 116 in the 1/4 running 12.1
this B5 S4 avant was a part of the RS works crew
Anyone else notice that axel has hijacked the proper spelling of axle?
Sorry to bring this thread back but i got a chance to Race Apexit1 last night on my Stage 2 beta:
here is outcome… wish we could get higher speeds but the cars ahead of us braked to 20mph rolls so we could not go for top end pulls.
Nice!
Looks like it’s time for Apex to jump to GIAC Stage II or APR III
;D
Car looks pretty quick. Someone definitely jumped on the 2nd honk on pull #2
Those are some quick honks too.
isn’t he apr2 already? Aka the fastest stage 2 tune?
Or race from a dig… The S4 is not a roll race car… Props to the Bimmer moves out well… I bet the S4 would win at the strip, any plans on running it?
he just posted above that he went 12.1 @ 116 at the strip in his car on his old stage 1 setup, so I wouldn’t bet so fast on the S4.
Don’t forget that they just ran from 30 mph and the BMW won handily, and also don’t forget that he drives a 550xi. He has AWD.
Here he is at the strip. No problem getting off the line at all. I doubt that s4 is going to make up 3 car lengths in the first 30 feet on that launch. I think it’s pretty straightforward on the likely outcome.

He broke his old record, new is 11.9@117 I think. Should add that my 2-3 synchros are shot hence me falling back so much. You should post the 60 rolls we did where I was able to gain 3/4 cars on you. I don’t really have any plans to go any further in this car. I think I’m done with it
Apexit, you guys ran from 50mph in the second run he posted. Did you start in 2nd on that or 3rd?
What gas were you guys running, and what gas did he run where he went 11.9 @ 117?
We did a few 40-60 rolls.
I was on 3/4 tank of pump, I assume he was too. I think his 11.9 was on pump.
The videos came out very dark i took 2 most clean looking ones from about 6 runs… our runs ware very short and they ended very fast didnt even look like runs on video.
I ran 11.9 @117 on 93 and 11.9 @ 119 on race gas mix as i am bet tester i had to test a few settings for the tune manufacturer. That S4 still moves by far one of the best match up for me to date.
no problem hooking here
