    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Twice in 1 week i got that question after i ran a e46 m3 and a 2006 mustang GT with headers gears and exhaust. Before we ran both guys asked me what i had done to the car, and i said just a Giac chip.I assumed they knew our cars were Biturbo. Anyways it amazes me how many people still dont know about s4's. I mean the car has been around for eight years now

    Re: are you sure you dont have turbos

    I think the guy is asking you if the car has turbos at all. You are saying just a GIAC chip. We all know what that means, but to them they think it's all motor. Oh well, make them feel worse

    But yeah, a lot of people don't know anything about the b5 s4.

    Re: are you sure you dont have turbos

    A Noggy is an attention getter, for sure. I don't regret getting the color. Yes, it is a very incognito car, and before I got one I don't know what I thought of them honestly. I knew they existed but not to this extent.

    I love the look on their face when the turbos scream at them!

    Has anyone else actually tried to look slow on purpose, just to clown someone? I HAVE!

    Hell yeah I have.
    I have an avant in northern indiana, nobody knows about this car.

    My friend with a 72 chevelle with a 454 big block (stock heads cams etc so its more of a cruiser than a drag car) thinks hes the baddest thing on the road even though his gearing is awful and his car is at best a highhhhhh 13 second car. But when he first saw my car he got me a baby on board suction cup sign. I'm guessing he didnt think it was funny when he read it on my back window.
    I am going to track the car when I go stage 3- in a couple of weeks with it on just for laughs.

    that's my favorite thing to do -- pace them for a bit.. maybe let them get a little bit ahead.. then just pop it into B6 3rd gear mode yo..

    seriously tho.. that is fun. especially when you end up at a red light with them and they think you'll only take 'em on the top end from the experience you just gave them. then, you leave them about 10 cars behind in the first three seconds only to let them catch up with a stunned look on their face or fly by too upset to look over..

    the other fun thing is what i call the 'reach around' but is only to be done when you're "alone" with the other car on the road. basically you get ahead of them, let off a bit to let them catch up, then quickly cut into their lane behind them, then into the next lane and come back around the other side and give them the Top Gun bird.

    Re: are you sure you dont have turbos

    I hate that I can't boost when it's so hot out, it's in the 100's now. Well, I could but don't really want to or like to. Damn, KO3's.

    On a positive note, I love hearing them spool and the fact that the car is tunable.

    Re: are you sure you dont have turbos

    I raced a guy in a modded VR6 Jetta and annihilated him. He asked me what I had afterwards. "Wait...WHAT? Twin turbos? Holy shit..."

    VR6 sound pretty nice though, I drove our 08 R32 off the lot and around town. Interior and the steering wheel are tits but I couldn't believe they have 250hp? Certainly doesn't feel like the 250hp ours started with.

    They only have 236TQ...

    Also gearing and other factors play a role. I am also fully convinced that since turbo power comes in later than NA or SC it can feel like it pulls harder
