That's almost as obese as my e93 at 3990 lbs. I don't feel so fat anymore.

1. that's not a 'real' time yet. They haven't released the timeslip, and all around the track sounds really bush league. I don't think it would even make any list.

2. Where have you been reading...the PES newsletter j/k?

Two different B6 S4s have run 11.92 and 11.96 in the past few months
Two different B7 RS4s have run 12.2 ALL MOTOR in the past 10 days
Two other B7 RS4s ran 11s in the past few months
justincredible's TIP (auto) B6 S4 ran 12.2 @ 116 last week

All on pump gas, no meth, no b.s.

JHM's supercharger (a massive VORTECH unit) will erase all doubts about supercharged V8 S4s. Well, it already has and it's just getting started. It's around 425 whp in stage I and will be 500+ in stage II guise. There's a couple of engines being built for the supercharger right now, including jason@jhm, so it wlll be tested in the most ignorant fashion to make sure everything's strong.

Once that supercharger gets into JHM's in house RS4, with it's forged internals, they're expecting 500+ whp STOCK MOTOR and low 11s is there goal on PUMP GAS. Pretty awesome times ahed Sear. That's why I bought a B7 RS4 last month lol.

The B6/7 is doing just fine, thanks.

very cool. those JHM guys are legit

[joec500]

Yup, former Audiworld and Audiziner here too.

B5 S4 (wet noodle chassis, but a fun car none the less)
B7 Stasis A4 2.0T (better chassis, but less power)

My E92 335i handled waaay better stock than either of those cars with the Stasis treatment (coilovers + sway bars)

I do miss the AWD for ski trips though.

Glad to hear that the B6/B7 is finally coming into its own. It just seems to have taken MANY more years of afermarket development than most other platforms.
Wasn't that 116mph B6 trap done with NOS?
Enjoy that RS4!

i remember the days when I was on the 'zine, I had my b5 A4, and looking to get a B6 s4.

JHM was coming into their own with the long tube headers when I picked up my 335. Unfortunately the 335 was faster stock, and handled much better, and with snows VERY capable in the winter.

The B8 S4 however WILL be a problem for probably any non RB'd 335 in 1 years time...

with the factory supercharger, i doubt it

I want to swap a 4.2 into my B5 but here horror stories about the b6 v8 I have a r32 vr6 in the garage i think I might go that route.

Not sure what "horror stories" your referring to. That motor in stock form or with bolt ons was actually a pretty reliable platform IMHO. if your are referring to wanting to mod and achieve power goals in excess of 360whp, then thats another story...

I have a 4.2 in my Q7 no issues in 40K miles, on a side note where do I find mods for this thing?

Probably referring to the timing chain issue that those motors tend to have.

Not sure how many available options will support the Q7, but try JHMotorsports.

Could be, but that issue hasn't really surfaced til the 80-100k mile neighborhood. When compared to the N54 from the reliability perspective its a different ballgame

[sakimano]

fastest B8 S4 on pump gas is now 12.05 @ 114.81 with a 20+mph tailwind (according to the driver).

Anyone figure out what the fastest full interior 335 (54 or 55) on pump gas is?
