Well they are 2 totally different cars...the s4 is more nimble through traffic and just a bit more responsive...the A6 is more plush w/ the performance...the s4 is like a razor..the A6 is like a carving knife.

I'm looking at a CPO '06 S4, & wanted recommendations on which all-season tires to put on it. Living in OH, I want to replace the summer tires.

I'm struggling with A4 3.2 versus A6 4.2. New 4.2 FSI V-8 seems hard to resist. If you went in that direction, would you go for S-Line or Adaptive Air Suspension?

I would go for the air suspension. I've gotten bad feedback on the A6 sports suspension. It seems to be tuned a bit too much. The S4/A4 sports suspension is a much livable ride. I think I'm going to go for the S4 at this point. I've driven them both and there's definitely a difference.

Hey everyone im new on here!!!!!stealth4-- well put my friend, i also own a stage 3 2001 S4 and ummmmm yea ok ive yet to be beaten by an M3.. im not saying i havent lost a race b4, believe me ive been beaten plenty of times... if you look at the comparison between the two performace wize the s4 comes out on top in all aspects. The fastest even supercharged M3s are clocking in at mid 12s.. yea ok that will be the day when i spend $10,000 and only reach mid to low 12s. i saw someone mention something like the s4 will get beaten off the line.. yea about that!! when i see someone in an m3 pull under a 1.8 60ft on street tires i will shit myself!! and they said the s4 will win in the slalom cuz of the quattro.. i dont think you have driven an s4 on a roadtrack or ne thing of the nature cuz if you have you would realize the S4 has ridiculous understear becuase of the 50-50 wheel distribution and horribly uneven weight.. stock for stock the m3 will have a jump but with the simple addition of a $600 ecu upgrade the m3 will be beaten. i have seen ppl with just a GIAC chip run 13.2... B5 S4 FTW!!!! not b6 or b7 cuz they are slow ass v8s.. please dont take ne of this personally if anyone feels insulted im just a very sarcastic person

Forget the m3, the 335i will beat the S4.

wait the link you put up has no comparison what so ever of the s4 to the 335i.. the rs4 being compared in the test and it beat the 335i?!! altho i do agree with you the 335i is a sick ass car especialy with a vishnu ecu upgrade. but id still rather have my 2001 S4 which i got for 13k that a 335i which costs like over 40k... they are sexy tho if i had 45k to just throw around i would deff pick one up.

Read the map and see the timings of S4 vs 335.

Thinking of buying an S4

I'm thinking of buying an S4, and I would like to put some mods on it. First, what is the biggest size wheel you can put on this car? Second, where can I look for wheels? I looked at tirerack.com and they don't have anything that I think would look really great on this car. I'm looking for something with 8 to 10 spokes. Second, where would be the best place to buy a chip? Does it matter? Are they all the same? Who can install the chip? Third, the dealer that I'm thinking of buying this car from says this car has Navigation, but I've been in one before and I don't know where it would be? Can this car with Navigation?
I appreciate your help and taking the time to answer my questions.
