Did you mod your S4? Thing must be quick if you think your Dinan-tuned 135i will still be
slower than the Audi.
[The biturbo Audi S4 is the high performance version of the "B5 Chassis" Audi A4 quattro. This version of the S4 was sold from model years 2000-2002. Don't let its understated looks fool you. With a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds, (electronically limited) top speed of 145mph, and superlative handling, it will leave many pure sports cars in the dust, can compete handily with a BMW M3 (probably its closest competition) on the racetrack and is unsurpassed when the road conditions are wet, snowy, or icy. The S4 beat the M3 in a Motor Trend comparison, its abilities under bad road conditions not even considered. ]
Even the
2008 S4 is only putting up 5.3 0-60. I would imagine that since C&D put up a 4.7sec 0-60 on a bone-stock 135i (
