That's old news!!!
S4 is easily tuned, I've been out in saints 400's s4 MRC tuned car, it's very quick at around 495 BHP
But it lacks the look and feel of the rs4 IMO

More importantly fella, what are your thoughts???

Here are mine.....

1) indeed, very old news

2) You can tune many cars way beyond their standard performance so it's not at all surprising

3) The V6 in the S4 is characterless (along with it's looks vs. 2ltr diesel) and quite boring (I had an S4 for 6 months and sold it for that very reason).

You can watch the same, original vid in HD here -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KfMY96v_Gc
