Nurburgring S4??

The problem is that you're too hung up on image. So what if the scooby's turning into a car favoured by chavs???? I'm just the right side of 40 and it really doesn't bother me that there's a baseball capped tw@t driving round in the same marque.

I agree that most Evo's can blow away a scoob but then the same can be said for most cars that have a lower spec than the Bugatti!! there's always something better, and you don't by a car for out and out performace alone.

Beliee me, I under no illusions about what will happen at Bruntingthorpe but it'll be fun finding out

Fair enough - enjoy the run.

Jonesy,
Astonished when i first drove an early scoob I personally like the early ones a terzo would be my ideal a friend has a 22B amongst other things (he's loaded) time will pass and the Chavsters will move on and the scoobie will again be a proper cult car.

Can't find the old bit of video on my computer..... but for anyone interested there is this video on Streetfire of a B6 (NOT a B5) S4 doing bits against an E46 M3. I know the B6 has totally different engine (4.2 V8 n/a instead of 2.7 bi-turbo V6), but they have very similar torque and very similar 0-60 times.... as DavidT predicted, it looks like the M3 pulls away (once its got its tyres warmed up, its awful before that) shortly after the transition into 3rd gear:

The video also has some stuff on the freeway at 250km/h..... where the B6 seems to pretty much hold its own.

yeah i've seen that one - think the S4 is totally standard. Stage 1 decatted S4 B5 should be an equal......i think....i've decided on an S4 now anyway......for more reasons than just outright straight line performance.

Cool! Glad to hear that spencerj! enjoy the search

Yep, best of luck finding a good one... be patient
