Stage 1 & 2 cars. What cars can you run with?

[WaspBro]

I'm just curious as to what my future holds. Since upgrading the S4 or S5, what cars have you guys been able to run with?

With my Stage 1 Revo I like to prey on Apr stg 2+ cars. Also I love killing ss camaro's, coyote mustang's, and srt 8's.

[mrmomo313]

Haven't really run anyone with the new setup yet.. Only thing I have run on pump gas was the cla45 amg and I absolutely destroyed that thing, he was stock though so not all that fair but a win nonetheless. Just want to see what it can do in the 1/4 mile now

[Sudz]

Well in an Auto-X last month, dry conditions in the 60's, a friend in a 2011 Porshce Caymen was giving me a hard time, he came from a heavily modified VW R32, he told me understeer was going to kil me, well when the runs were done the S4 was faster.

[Dominick's S4]

In the 1/4 mile the Stage II S4 is a beast and the Mustangs, Camaro's and Challengers are always seeing the rear end of the S4.

I've started calling my car the bavarian beast - here in the mile high rarified air my boost bypass valve is pretty much closed all the time (read: stage 1).
Stock S4 can roll with ss camaro's, new 5.0's, srt-8's and walk away from pretty much any JDM under 20lbs of boost.
The looks on their faces...

[agent47]

That second vid of the challenger getting his ass owned- priceless. This is what I love about our cars. Perfect sleepers - coming home on Saturday night doing 85, I was closing in on a ford pony. I told my wife that as soon as I am very close, he will gas it- just what happened, he downshifted quick and his exhaust was screaming trying to pull away - a few seconds later his ass was whooped in triple digits [emoji48]

[Mr. Three]

Depending on what speed you are talking about and whether from a dig or a roll, the E92 M3 can be good fun. From a dig, you have it completely...from a roll if you are not right in the upper end of your rpms, it will creep on you into triple digits. Deep triple digits the Stage Two 3.0T will come out on top. Not that I know that or anything...officially.

[boomtime]

Here is a good vid to compare the stock s4 to revo stage 1 vs an rs4.

Well im still stock and More notably I have beat a semi build wrx, a few sti's, a 2010 m3, an srt8 Cherokee a stage 2 gti...I've been smoked by a tuned 335xi and embarrassingly lost to a hooked up BRZ after a few pulls on the highway the other day...the passenger waved goodbye...Im still not over it.

[schirm]

OK well I have a friend with a C63 he would put about 1 or so car on me he was stock. Once he got an exhaust and tune it was about 3-4 cars.

my other buddy with a 135I some crazy Tune FMIC he puts down just around 400whp, we have a dyno day on Sunday so I will know for sure. He puts 1-2 cars on me.

next friend has a stock E92 M3 and I would put about a car on him. He recently got tuned and exhaust and now he puts about a car on me.

all these races are about 40mph pulls to 100-120ish depending on locations.

Another kid who tags along sometimes has a built GT30 STI. Hes always in the back of us lol.

I have still yet to use my race gas file so not sure how I would hold up with race gas.

Stock clutch with just about 90,000 miles does not like digs, they are all Autos, they have the upper hand until I get an upgraded clutch.

When I can justify the 3,000 to do it I might. Unfortunately in the next few months I am installing central air in my house and redoing the kitchen. about 12-15K total. Clutch is currently not on the horizon until winter 2016, unless it goes out sooner.

435HP stock with an 11 to 1 compression ratio. Close to $40k with some options... its not like the old 5.slow and its definitely not as cheap either.

I am still stock but I was dead even 40-90mph with my buddy in a 2004 CTS-V with intake/exhaust. Did about 5 runs with the exact same results. I just ordered stage II and now he is jealous and looking into rearmount turbo kits. Haha, that thing will scream.
I also agree about beating muscle cars, for the most part mustangs and challangers. Not usually a fan of the owners.

I wasn't trying to by a dick or anything. OP was asking what a Stage 1 & 2 S4 can hang with not what cars someone has beaten at the drag strip. I agree that a win is a win but by what you are saying the S4, even in stock form, could hang with any other car on the planet, in a drag race, provided the other driver pooched the run somehow. I don't think that is what the OP was looking for.

Lol your not the only one! I take mustangs , challengers all the time they seem like they want to go more often , I did get my self handed to by a new z28 but that's when I was stock, that and a GTR I caught up were the only cars I couldn't hang with or beat

[bpang1]

Our cars especially tuned to Stage 1 or 2 can beat your run of the mill Mustang GT, Camaro SS and SRT8 all from a dig no problem whatsoever especially if you have the S-Tronic.

It also punches above it's weight by being faster than many other cars that you would think are at a higher level of performance but your results will vary specifically concerning a launch from a dig versus a race from 40.

[Frag]

I am still stock (except AWE full exhaust/downpipe and Cold Air Intake). Would like a stage 2 but my head still debate the TD1 thing in a back thread. I will wait for the final answer to pop out.

Life is ironic. I had a weird night two weeks ago ...

I led in front of a Charger SRT8 from 60 to 110. Was a fun challenge ... even though I was surprised of the result.

Like an hour after, I got COMPLETELY destroyed by an old Bugeye STI. And I mean ... completely. Pretty sure he wasn't stock... lol

I took a charger SRT about a month ago on the interstate from around 60 up to 100 and cruised for a minute or so before he took off, I was quick to follow. Maybe 110 mph until we were neck and neck again, I downshifted back into 5th and took off, hit over 160 but don't tell the cops ;)

I obviously have a tune though to go past the 155 limiter. My clutch slips EZ too, so I was being mild with acceleration. BUT - that doesn't mean the dude driving wasn't a bit scare to go that fast. you never know...

Some German guy running APR stage 2 got up to 191 mph on an autobahn which was the top of 6th gear in his 6MT. That's probably pretty close to the true top speed. Maybe 195. Doubt it can do 200 though.... Maybe on race gas or something like that.

Wow pretty good. Yea those chally's weigh in at a hefty 4100lb and are less aerodynamic than their charger siblings. Still have monster v8's under the hood, nice win. I wouldve put my money on the chally after 80

[Chandler]

So what happens when you go over 160? My Speedo stops at 160, does the needle break off and your just left with the digital reading?

It was a spontaneous event and I was not thinking about that. I looked down and I was passing 155 and I thought to myself "Hehe, no more cruising at 155..." I went about 1cm past 160 before letting off. I don't recall how close to the rev limiter I was while going that fast. I suppose we could do the math if we knew the gear ratios though and get theoretical max speed - but this is assuming the motor produces enough torque to fight friction and wind resistance at 7K+ RPMs. I got the car tuned to climb higher faster not to go 200 MPH on the interstate :p

[roadawg]

You need to run them all from a dig and report back with your results. You'll fair better from a dig with the Quattro.

On the street sure, but a race prepped track not so much. A RWD C63, or tuned 335i with a good driver can cut 1.8 60 fts, you wont have much of an advantage and they will pull you on the top end by a good bit.

The S4 doesn't have the top end legs that some other cars being compared in here, anything trapping 120 or higher will run away from you regardless of what you have.

[roadawg]

Still, I find that pretty incredible. I laugh at the threads in this section that rag on this car as being slow.

In stock form, it is pretty slow from a roll. Even tuned its not that great in the grand scheme of things.

Sorry to sound like I am hating because I am not, but there are cars like the new M3 that with a simple tune will put a bus lengths on basically any S4 out there. F80 M3's, Vette's, AMG Merc's etc all trap 125 + pretty easily with basic mods and you don't have a chance and its not close.

There is a well know package that you can buy to install an LS2 engine (read V8 corvette engine) in a BRZ. This change the little car into a monster, but the car is no longer balanced in any ways.

But yes, this package IS fast.

Do not get me wrong, I am not sold to this idea... AT ALL. Just wanted to point out that those freeway monsters are existing.

Also superchargers and turbos out now for them. Buddy of mine just finished turboing his FR-S and my other buddy has a BR-Z supercharger kit with all components sitting on his garage floor until next week or so and installing it on his.

[Bludool]

There is also a company that has all the hardware for mounting an LS2 in a Boxter.

I took a 2014 Roush Stage 2 Mustang up to 100 by about 2 cars. I know it's pretty much a GT but my tune was still adapting. I had only had it on about 10 miles at that point.

A Lexus IS350 tried racing me yesterday when I was merging on to the highway. Needless to say, I smoked him bad... He gave up when I hit 120 mph, he was about a few car lengths behind me. not sure if he was scared of getting a ticket or his car cant keep up. I am stage 2.[drive]

Yeah, I've encountered many of those highway monsters where they make a lot of noise and go absolutely nowhere until they hit 70/80 mph and then they take off like a rocket.

Almost $10k for the engine swap and kit??? That's not bad at all. Fortunately for us, very few of the kids who buy BRZ's and FRS's can afford that! Phew! Hahaha.

Hopefully just these add on turbo's and superchargers aren't enough to keep up with us. Make sure to race em and post some vids when they do install their kits! Curious to know their specs and how they compare to yours!

Dang. That won't happen when you're stage 2 tuned though! plus your engine is still a baby. I didn't take mine over 3k rpm's until i was at 500 miles. Even then, I didn't ever even take it close to redline until i was at 1k miles.

I would think that you should put more than a few car lengths on his car up to 120 if you are stage II. Not to instigate a fight, just curious.

I would agree. Maybe it was a quick sprint.

[Jay007]

I've started calling my car the bavarian beast - here in the mile high rarified air my boost bypass valve is pretty much closed all the time (read: stage 1).
Stock S4 can roll with ss camaro's, new 5.0's, srt-8's and walk away from pretty much any JDM under 20lbs of boost.
The looks on their faces...

I disagree with the stock will roll with SRT8's. I owned two previous to purchasing the S4.

The Jeep SRT8 (stock even) would kill a S4 from 0-60 by a good 3-4 lengths. After that, the S4 would slowly close, but not in the 1/4 mile.

The Charger would be very close 0-60, and then walk away up top and trap around 5MPH faster in the 1/4. Stock to stock.

This is comparing the 6.1 liter SRT8's as well, not the current 6.4 liters. That being said, the 6.1 jeep is faster 0-60 than the 6.4 due to weight.

Nice to see this car tuned up is as impressive as it is though. I really didn't buy it to be faster / as fast as my previous toys. I wanted something a little more refined with a much better service history.

I'm not sure which stock SRT Jeep you had but with poorer aerodynamics and @ about 5000 lb I find it hard to believe it would pull a stock S4 @ any point in a race. Glad you're enjoying yours [:)]

Interesting since you are a previous owner. I've ran two SRT-8 Jeeps from a dig (new on dealer plates last summer, and a first gen two years ago) and edged both by half a length or so up to about 100km/h before shutting down. The new one I ran against twice and same result. I am stock with an intake.

[johnstah]

If I had fully depress the gas and kept it in "S", it would've been a quick kill. I believe I was in a higher gear at the time and downshifted and upshifted too early but nonetheless, he got rekted [:D]

I also just sold my 2010 Jeep SRT8 for my new S4. The Jeep was faster in pretty much every aspect of acceleration.

My Jeep would put a car length on my X5M from 50-100. and my X5M put 3 car lengths on my S4 from 40-100.

i also had a 2007 SRT8 jeep and just NO to this. 0-60 is much better on the s4 with bolt on mods to the jeep(t-stat, flash, exhaust, intake) they are just about 4.0 0-60.

[EHesh14]

I just raced a 2014 458 spider last night from about 60-130 and he only had me by a car length. I beat a stage 2+ focus st by a car length & won against a new srt8 by a few car lengths. Giac stage 2 with alpha boost cooler and all supporting mods. I've been thinking about adding a race gas file so i can keep up with my bro's 10 Wrx with a fully built stage 2 block engine with a rotated gtx35 and sti spec ra gear set minus sleeves.

Anyone know how much it would cost to add a file plus the program switcher?

[AudBoost]

Much better results than I expected. Was thinking the 135 would run away with the show. A correctly tuned FBO (full bolt ons) N54 are beasts.

Yeah if we are both on pump gas he puts like 2 cars on me.

0-60 numbers on a stock 2008-2010 Jeep SRT8 are in the 4.4 to 4.6 second range. A full half second quicker there than a stock S4. One exception to this is at much higher attitudes, the gap can be smaller do to the S4 being supercharged, vs the NA engine in the SRT8. I live at 3,500 feet though and I'm sure the Jeep is still a fair deal faster 0-60. Not much will touch them from a dig. Including 555+HP / $100k+ vehicles.

My Jeep tipped the scales at 4950ish with a full tank of fuel and me in it. The current gens are around 400lbs heavier.

[Jay007]

i also had a 2007 SRT8 jeep and just NO to this. 0-60 is much better on the s4 with bolt on mods to the jeep(t-stat, flash, exhaust, intake) they are just about 4.0 0-60.

Strange there is so much conflicting information / thoughts on this.

So your saying your Jeep was in the 4.0 second range 0-60 or the S4? (with what mods?!)

Most of the bolt-on mods only help the SRT8's at higher speeds from my experience. I think I may have cut a tenth or maybe two tops off the stock 0-60's with bolt-ons and tune, but 60-110 it made a difference of a half second or even a touch more.

[Jay007]

The new one I ran against twice and same result. I am stock with an intake.

I could see that on the current gen model. They are definitely slower in the 0-60 than the previous, and I would think they would be very similar to the S4 in that range. They are also quicker up top now with different gearing and even more displacement. Could still be close with the two.

As for the previous gen run you had, that's a good result I would think being that you are stock. That impresses me if we can get our stock S4's to compete with a Jeep SRT8 in our altitude ranges. I still expect 9 times out of 10 though they would get us having driven one for 5 years. I never ran a S4 at the track unfortunately, but I did get to run few times against a 2012 stage 1 335xi. I would get him every time by a ways 0-60 but it was close in the 1/4 mile. He was typically only a tenth or two back from my 13.2-13.3's.

[cobrario]

. I never ran a S4 at the track unfortunately...from my 13.2-13.3's.
maybe you should take your S4 to the track too.

[Jay007]

maybe you should take your S4 to the track too.

That's the plan. Unfortunately the closest track to Calgary is now about 300km's away!

Keep in mind those times are at 2600-3400 feet above as well for comparison.

I would hope a stock S4 could crack the high 13's around that altitude on a decent temp day?

[mrmomo313]

I also just sold my 2010 Jeep SRT8 for my new S4. The Jeep was faster in pretty much every aspect of acceleration.

My Jeep would put a car length on my X5M from 50-100. and my X5M put 3 car lengths on my S4 from 40-100.

Didn't you have stuff done to your Jeep though? Recognize the sig from bimmerpost. My stage 2 x5m will beat any 6.1 or 6.4 SRT jeep with bolt ons from a dig or roll on. With FI on the 6.1 jeeps thats another story, they will walk the M all day. At stage 2 on the s4 (race gas ~500hp) it is faster than stage 2 x5m (pump, 640hp). Stock vs stock though, yes the M puts a whooping on the s4.

Don't know on the price for GIAC but wanted to say the race gas file is so worth it. Really a whole different animal compared to pump gas map imo. Def consider getting it if you want to maximize what you can get out of the car

[cobrario]

That's the plan. Unfortunately the closest track to Calgary is now about 300km's away!
well I hope you can make it at some point

435HP stock with an 11 to 1 compression ratio. Close to $40k with some options... its not like the old 5.slow and its definitely not as cheap either.
And wait for it... a rear mechanical limited slip torsen differential

This made me laugh. There is so much hate on the Mustangs.

(DISCLAIMER) I am not brand loyal. I like fast cars, no matter who made them. I am unbiased. I've had many Audi's and am likely buying a B8.5 very soon...living in NY, outright performance is not my primary concern anymore. I want a car I don't have to garage for 7 months out of the year. :)

Mine's a 2012 GT/CS 6MT, 3.73, limited slip, etc. The new Mustang does have 15 more horsepower, but almost 200 lbs. heavier in most configurations. Stock for stock, they are slower than the 2011-14.

Although it was probably due for independent rear, there is something fun about it, and given the proper grip it rocks for drag racing.

My car is only off road X-pipe, GT500 exhaust, Airaid intake and AED tune. (Shifter, suspension, rear lowers and relo brackets) It traps 116-117. This is not a freak or unheard of. Add a cobrajet intake manifold and longtube headers and they are trapping 121-125. Also, if you've never driven one, the solid rear on this generation is not bad at all, just takes a little getting used too. I've owned alot of fast (much faster) vehicles and this car arguably the most fun. It's rowdy, loud, and fast as hell for very little investment. If I didn't live in the northeast the car would not be for sale.

Anyway, sorry to derail...

That second vid of the challenger getting his ass owned- priceless. This is what I love about our cars. Perfect sleepers - coming home on Saturday night doing 85, I was closing in on a ford pony. I told my wife that as soon as I am very close, he will gas it- just what happened, he downshifted quick and his exhaust was screaming trying to pull away - a few seconds later his ass was whooped in triple digits [emoji48]

It's moments like these that I love... The prediction, the event, the smile to your wife... & no one says a word.

Almost happened to me, but when I smiled, my wife said "Thier cops on the bridge") and sure enough they had a radar... Best news was, I didn't see the Mustang, so I assume he was the one they caught.

[AudiTFSI3o3]

was on my way home from dinner with the lady and an e92 M3 rolls up next to me at the light. gives me the look and on green we take off. I walked him. not once, not twice, but about 4 times we did that. given each run was only 1/8th mile, it was still awesome.
