Oh Christ...

A basic bolt-on and tuned B5 S4 will BARELY walk on a stock 370Z. That potential 20-40 WHP difference - not factoring in weight - really doesn't lead to much of a "pull" from the faster car from a 50 mph roll.

Let's see how your POS Audi (the B5 was an unreliable POS, don't try to deny it - I almost bought one once) pulls against either of my slow-a$s 4 door Mitsubishis.

Ha.

I drove past a parked Ferrari F430 Scuderia this afternoon. Seeing that I so handily passed his parked vehicle, I felt compelled to go on the Ferrari forum and post how their parked cars are just so slow compared to mine when being driven.
