Crushed a TL-S, but I was driving my brothers S4

Last weekend I went to Miami to visit some family and I got to drive my brothers S4 the entire weekend. Let me say that everyone wants to race that car! This TL-S is weaving in and out of traffic trying to come up next to me, but there was too much traffic. After a couple of minutes my dream comes true the next light turned red and the TL-S is right next to me!! You all probably know what happened next but I will tell you anyway. I rev the car to about 6k rpm and WHAM drop the clutch. After I shifted to second I continued to run through the gears until the top of 3rd and the TL-S then came screaming by. It was a fun night and that car is fun to drive!

So you're telling me that a TL-S can out run a S4 on the high end?!! J/K I'm not sure if your brother appreciates you doing a 6K drop on his car But at least you had fun

6K? Wow, that's like 10,000 miles off the life of that clutch at one time. Nice car BTW.

Watch the TL-S guys come over here and complain about the guy's navigation system not working.

Those S4's can get crazy with mods though. They have turbo kits and what not to get those things up around 400 - 500 HP. I seen a kit coming out soon for those numbers somewhere.

One thing I don't like about complicated drivetrain cars like the S4:


replacing the clutch, nearly priceless, $2K. Kaching!

Nice thing about the Audi Advantage S4 warranty is that it covers the clutch ! Most manufacturers do not.

If you are saying that you lost to a TL-S while driving an S4, then the TL-S was heavily modded or you are not a very good driver.

And, yes, for only $600 you can get a chip that let's the turbos boost to 14 PSI from the stock 10 PSI, and the original 250 HP and 258T jump up to 310HP and 350 T !!!

That's hella-TORQUE !!!

My brother did it three times on the way home from the airport, so needless to say he doesn't car if I did it. He is getting an ECU upgrade for like $700 and his car will then gain 70hp and like 80lbs of torque!!! Damn turbo cars! It was very nice to drive and the handling was incredible. The only bad thing was it is YELLOW, its like driving a huge attention getter!

Nice. If I had that extra warranty, I'd beat the sh*t out of that clutch!! Mega bomb launches ALL day! Both turbos would be glowing mad orange too!
