Audi\>VW

Even though an Audi weighs like 4 billion pounds because the drive train is made of reinforced concrete and uranium(Aka why a stock S4 can take 1000hp at the crank on a stock drive train) the 2.7bt makes the car a rocket.

Audi has racing heritage in its blood and the new 4.2l S4’s can keep up with last gen sti’s and evo’s on a track while keeping all the creature comforts.

VW… not so much. As far as I’m concerned VW is about 4 or 5 years behind Audi in every way, as they should be.

Also on paper:  
0-60 GTI DSG: 7 seconds (6.0 launched)  
0-60 00’ S4 6 speed: 5.9 seconds.

Theres a large gap. Then you realize it wasn’t from a stand still, it was a roll. An Audi s4 has a lot more muscle and the extra weight won’t inhibit it as much from a roll.
