In britain, there are far more M3's at track days than S4's and RS6's - they're usually kept from company managers etc. Eg at rockingham you can go on an M3 experience along with a lotus elise, you can go on any audi related track day. These two, along with caterhams are probably the most common track day car by a long way, in britaint at least

Well I can think of one S4 that is not a track car ... whistles softly while looking away...

well your regular S4, although i dont deny it being a good performance car and it laps on par with an M3, it has a tendency to understeer thanks to its 4WD on track and just isnt a good a track weapon as the M3.

I think i can safely say the UK has a bigger track day culture than and IMO, and of most in the UK, the M3 is by far the more popular track car. Not neccesarily faster than a S4, but definately more fun and more of an enthusiasts motor.

C'mon you drive a TT, maybe a bit biased towards Audi

No doubt yours is heavily modded, but the only people i see that drive TT's are rich 20-30 year old women

I dont see an Audi S4 GTR either

i'm gonna send my TT friends in Houston to secretly mod your car while you sleep!

Do a sort of "Pimp my Ride" but hold the rice and plain stupidity.

At this rate my car might become the next victim of the JW photoshop a car section ... LOL

I think the S4 will be pretty good and safe around the circuit but the M3 would be surely more fun! Particularly if you get your hands on a E30 M3

Its called strategy bud! .... That's why he gets all the chicks in Chic-ago ... he meets them at the service center and rolls out his charm while saying in a sexy voice "So you have second gear problems ... well my gearbox works fine would you like to try it"

Exactly, thats why more track day entusiasts opt for it rather than an S4 even if the S4 is just as fast

So lets review the "facts" so far
1. TT is not a man's car
2. Everso uses the car to get chicks

Elementary my dear Watson ... it means that Everso is ... drum roll ... a Lesbian?

I don't think increasing the horsepower has anything to do with providing more pleasure for the customer. Most people that drive AMG's or RS's are usually rich fat cats (generally speaking) and I call all these horsepowers prestige horsepowers. Nothing more, nothing less. It's just to be able to casually throw your keys on the bar and announce that you have more BHP than the next man.

Since not all people are accomplished drivers (see fats cats and prize wives) they have to litterally put tons of electronic systems to keep all that power in ever condition on the road, without causing too much danger and thus too many lawsuits.

I say: away with the prestige BHP and give us back some honest, useable and controlable horsepower.

Audi are still the ones winning DTM. Also I think they won Le Mans in the presence of BMW?

BADMIHAI · 10-07-2004, 09:27 PM

Someone here (other than me) definitely has taste. 8)

I agree with the hp thingy no need to put more power in the cars at this point, just put them on a diet and make them handle better.....

Excatly! Next thing you know you'll get............................................... ........................................an M5!

sameerrao · 10-07-2004, 09:34 PM

^^ An M5 aint exactly a poster child for "lean cuisine" ......

But it's not a Sumo wrestler, unlike some other car we know *cough RS6*cough, either.

sameerrao · 10-07-2004, 09:40 PM

^^ the old M5 would be nicer - the Euro one - 3.8 litre straight six weighing in at about 3800 lbs or so ....

Too bad we never got it here officially

Who is the fastest depends on the driver but I think we all can agree that M-cars got more potential than S-cars being a good trackcar, also more involving to drive (yes , I talk about stock streetcarscars not modified or racing cars).
