Has anyone driven the S4 demo cars at Listers?
That's the ones with the 'preformance pack'...

I was tempted, but I'm not prepared to spend £45k on a test car. Did think about offering them £40k for the black one. Do you think they'd let me have it for that [img]images/graemlins/3flypigs.gif[/img]

Sure Tony.
Drove the S4 avant at Listers with the full Stage 3 kit. AMD remap/Mliteks/Racing cats, said to offer 400+ bhp. The acceleration in 3rd and 4th is in a different league to the std car which I feel-after driving 2 examples-to be lacking in real V8 torque/grunt. The S4 engine as std is just too safe and too restricted I feel.
Basically the upgrade gives the S4 the character I for one feel it really lacks. The sound is awesome and I think it would give an RS6 a run for it's money on a lot of roads. It's not too big a car and felt good on the b roads at 40-70 when being really leaned on. Felt that the brakes were only just up to the performance, so an upgrade might be good.
For me the only downsides are 1. Handling-still not a pure drivers car IMO, next a M3 2. Fuel economy-at best 20mpg but day to day if you tank it you're looking at 15-17 at best I think.
Have to also give credit to Listers as well. Very, very impressed with the service and attitude to the cars and the performance minded customer.
Well worth a trip to Stratford for a little jaunt [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]

Sounds good Gareth and I'm almost tempted...
...but the memory of unemployement is still fresh in my mind so I need to keep my money in the bank for now!

Thanks Gareth,
That's sound good !
I will perhaps go for the stage II !
Here in Switzerland, AMD is distributed by Sportec....

Hi Tony, welcome to RS246.com [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Can you give us some experience of what it's like to own the new V8 S4? I believe you are the first owner to visit us. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Does Miltek and AMD have announced what their exhaust and ECU remap will go for?
