Question EVO VII Vs. S4

Any of you EVO VII owners out there raced an S4 yet? If so how did they stack up?

This question is probably better directed at Claudius and Michaelk but from what I think I've heard, the Evo annihilated an S4. Then again, they don't have Evo VII's.

Yeah, I know that an EVO V or VI would kill an S4 however the VII isn't quite as quick as it's predecessors. Just trying to imagine the day when I will actually be able to find out in person...day-dreaming...

Someday...someday...

Claud has a TME so that thing is quite the beast, and Michaelk has a V I think. So yeah, someone around here has to have a VII..hmmm...

The 2001 Audi S4 Quattro does 0-60 in 5.5 sec. and 1/4 mile in 14.2 @ 97mph. Fast but not nearly as fast as the Evo VII which does 0-60 in under 5 sec. and 1/4 somewhere in the 13's.

As for the handeling...I am sure it's the same story.

Yeah I also heard about $50,000 too.

I know someone who has a 2001 S4, I will race him when I get my hands on an Evo, and let you know just how bad I beat him

Just one request looking at that last post, please don't let this go where another thread did involving an S4.

Jesus h.... relax. Who the **** cares about comparing this car to that? Even if he says Car X flat-out sucks... that's his opinion, if we can't handle that then we need to clean out our panties. I don't think we need to go crazy with the moderation here.

Autosports, german magazine, did a test on the Nurburging with an Evo6 RS-2 and the Audi S4.

The Evo6 is quicker around the 'ring but not by very much. This is because the 'ring is a pretty high speed track and doesnt seem that twisty.
The Evo7 is supposedly quicker than the Evo6 around the 'ring, so ...

The downforce on the Evo6 is about 14kgs but the S4(which doesnt have a rear spoiler) actually has an uplifting effect, so the big rear wing is actually quite useful for the Evo.

There is also a comparison done by a british mag between the Evo6, Impreza P1 and S4. The S4 is not even in the same league performance-wise. The only thing the S4 got going for it, is the interior and ride quality.

i think the best race would have to be a suped up VII and an RS4. That would be insane considering the RS4 is the dopest car ever.

The Evo would win, wouldn't kill it though would be a good race, but then again an audi S4 is a great looking car and the interior refinements are much better than the Evo's, No disrespect to the Evo though
