S4 vs STI

[shhhhhhhhRS]

way easier to perfectly shift in an audi than an sti.

[yamahaSHO]

@troks221392 Not that slow.

[kid4life610]

You do not have to remove radiator or any of the above to do ticking belt on Audi. I do them all the time noob

[DOHCEJ22E1]

I'd actually have to say that the Subaru AWD system is more efficient despite being simpler. It's also easier to work on & it's about as tough as the Audi's Quattro without being as expensive to repair, not to mention auto Subarus being more easy to mod for FWD/4WD usage. All & all, Audi is a nicer brand to have. This is coming from someone who loves Audi & Subaru. However, the older Audi turbos & today's RS models are nothing to f**k around with.

[Rejukem]

The Audi definitely has a better AWD system then Subaru but Subaru is easier to work on. It takes an hour to get to the timing belt in a Subaru cause you only have to remove belts, radiator, and timing cover. In an Audi you need to remove radiator, bumper and core support. Also parts for Audi cost more than a Subaru, and unless you have patience for DIY labor would too.

[VcottntailW]

the sti's flux capasitor wasnt tuned right.. then once it hits 88mph....

[jimbofisherman]

You want to deduct 1.1 secs for altitude on turbo charged cars, HUH! I thought the whole reason turbos and superchargers came to be was to off set thinner air at altitude. Interesting excuse.

[EvoKobayashi]

When I read S4 I thought of the Lancia Delta S4, but I find that stuff German ...

[shaggydappa]

Sti is not all that

[bluebearbank247]

What the heck is wrong with that STI? That's slower than factory, dude. Can do better.

[V8Japanese]

damm that S4 was sliding when it took off, the S4 is heavy so that STI shouldn't be so far behind, even if the S4 was modded.

[painta10]

as an s4 owner; they shit on subarus ha

[420witchdoctor]

Bike racing FTW!!

[rauclair78]

go up to your URL bar, put a Q between the words you and tube and then press enter or click go

Audi is simply the best

[Kialen055]

Wasn't a sti..

[zmanoside]

a 15.1 for a STi?!?! WTF? Sorry but thats just straight stupid.

[Railgunriz]

@zmanoside A lot of cars can be faster, it's a driver game too.

[SurenSImonyan]

@zmanoside S4 is faster than an STI (my uncle has Evo and an STI and I'm a big sti fan) on a straight line, but it gets killed by the evo. In fact, around the corners, STI and Evo, both, the 04-05 gens, beat the S4 04 gen. You still gotta have respect to Audi, cause they brough 4WD into WRC, and if not them, them, there wouldn't be neither evo or an sti.

[V8Japanese]

@SurenSImonyan dude i love it that you actually know your history, unlike other people.

[SurenSImonyan]

@V8Japanese thx, read a lot of top gear, automobile, and more...

[cfura12]

@SurenSImonyan Big Difference between the 04 s4 and the 00-02 s4. If you some some coil overs and bigger sway bars in the b5 s4 it will beat a subi all day any condition. I have had both, sti's are real fun go-carts, b5's rip and the tear.

[fdation]

@zmanoside could be weather.

[scoobyfan2009]

This was a WRX and it says the s4 was modded so.

[MarkySTi]

it's a wrx .. not a STi

[670lamborghini]

Wahaha the old s4 owned the Subaru hard!

Enough said to the pussy's who owns Subaru's or like them, it's just a piece of crap!

Audi ftw!

[kevinreid]

haha are you serious 13.7 is a slow time yes it won but doesnt mean its faster or better sti clearly f*ed up

[91generallee]

I agree the sti should have ran much faster. He either mixed a gear or shifted into the wrong gear.

[topsecret5]

mmm.. I think this dragstrip is most likely located on a high elevation zone. thats why the times seem slow.

[99Lezard99]

? idiot read! modded s4.....shut up.

[mowerracer012]

s4 was pretty much stock they run 14s stock

[Grifkylian]

they do. depending on tests in mags, they've run anything from 13.8-14.3 in 1/4.

[ROCAfellaFW]

The one bike Jumped the gun though that sucks.

[saabstar357]

The two motorbikes were the only thing fast in this.

[Kronosk2]

i guess the s4 isnt much modded, i think there is only a chip, and so about 290 to 300 bhp at the most.

[daxxas]

318 hp, but the big difference is the fact that it turns out 380fl/lbs torque at around 2500 rpm that crushes the sti

[sportpedmikey]

That STI just blew more cock on that race than on Jenna Jamesons career

[spoolinko3s]

also note the reaction time that sti got raped

[mrhemp3985]

both are bad drivers

my 00 S4 has a chip and full exhaust, suspension diverter valves, stock turbos and my best run was a 13.01. stock they run 14

[blomblom123]

i dont care what the altitude is, that sti driver blows nuts. That car runs like 13.3 stock regardless of elevation. Wow thats a bad time, nice ass s4 though!

[SickAudi]

my bad thanks for letting me know though, got big plans for stage 3 s4 this summer cant wait

[audiricky]

i guess that means that s4 is probably a stage 3 s4 then that should run 11's

[SickAudi]

um it just ran a 13.7, how is it a stage 3?, probably just a chip and exhaust if its running 13's, stage 3 with rite setup will run 10.9

[audiricky]

i know, but some of the comments say because of the high elevation, the cars are losing 2-3 seconds. thats y i said what i said

[SickAudi]

oh word no doubt

[xAtreyuAlesanax]

where is this taken? if it's at a high elevation, that could explain the shitty times. there's less air molecules at high elevations, and therefor, less air gets into the engine -> less power.

[Birdrunner54]

Colorado. Bandimere Speedway

[roberthlubnaomi]

that fucking sti slow as fuck cmon man.. the 07 hits 13 stock the driver sucks

[hobosta]

geez sti can run 13's stock... wow

[tree30V]

If that actually is an STI that's a terrible time even if it's stock.

[98TAformula]

15s at Bandimer in Colorado 5860 feet above sea level very common to run that in an STI or evo or anything.

[zeroflat24]

i find that hard to believe. that would mean that the s4 is a 10 second car then. i mean if he added 2-3 seconds due to altitude.

[KuostA]

LOL 15 IN AN STI? WORSE DRIVER EVER.

[wildbaseballplaya]

ohh come on i wanted to see the dodge neon race. that's not fair haha

[KINGSRT4]

I WANTED TO SEE THE SRT-4!!!

[MotoMan3198]

15.1? commmon...

and STI should run mid 13's stock.

learn how to drive

[vitaminxQ]

15... comon .. I have run my friends sti and ran a 12.9 in nc in colorado stock because of the alititude run about normaly 13s but my 2.5rs runs 15.1 so eather thats a 2.5 with a sti wing or that person cant drive

[ibemerjb123abc]

Haven't you guys heard? That's the new fast, turbo AND supercharger in the same car! LOL... That looked like an older late 90's S4, this looked to be at Bandimere? Those run around high 15's, low 16's stock.

[HPWHUT420]

actually thats a 2000 to 2001 s4 2.7l biturbo and stock run a 14 flat in normal conditions im not sure what the difference would be with the altitude but its not a 15 to 16 second car trust me i own one

[ibemerjb123abc]

Yes you're right early 2K's - don't know if they were out in 99, they are around 14's stock. BUT up here you can pretty much add 1 sec to any car which is why I said 15 or even 16 sec, not that those were perfect runs necessarily either. Altitude sucks, try playing sports up here...

[ibemerjb123abc]

Watched the video again - that 15 for the STI is bad.

[kyleryoungberg1]

@ibemerjb123abc

well sir your an idiot. do you know what a b5 s4 looks like? well i can tell you the late 90's s4 had an entirely different body. its definatelly a 00/01 b5, i own one.

next time make sure you know what your talking about before trying to act like you know anything about s4's. and as far as sti goes. not that great. argue all you want, but ya cant top AUDI

[lawflipmode]

wit my stock STi i was hitting 13.5's avg

[s4biturbo2002]

first off who the fuck supercharges sti's lol zoltrix lets see some videos of u running a 9.5 cuz ill put money down ull never pull that

[DDabs]

"ummmmmm hahaha thats all i have to say ,

my sti stock ran a 12 my first day out , ,

i put in a super charger, new intake, and stage 2

i ran a 9.5. . "

WOW, zoltrix8989, you're retarded :)

[phillyhkg]

Stock Sti 12 flat? really? What gear were you on when you were doing 60mph? and 9.5 with compressor? how many pound you ran on that blower?

[Jkazamini]

You dont have an Sti or you wouldnt put a supercharger, it is already turbo'd and with the 07 the faster of all the Sti years they will only run a 13

[phillyhkg]

My automatic Forester XT can do better than 15.1, a shame of that Sti driver.

[mugwomp3000]

Consider how much the overpriced Passat costs versus the Subaru. I believe the money saved would work to the Subaru's benefit - but then again, the Audi does look like an overpriced Jetta but has nicer seats. Whoopie do. The amount of money somebody drops on a kraut commuter, it better beat a $35k car...

[GollyGwagen]

That's funny because I looked at the STI but couldn't afford it so I got the S4. $15k will get you one. Drop the other $10k in mods and you get speed AND comfort.

Seriously, I drive a ton for a living and you can't beat the S4 for crusing for hours. While I like them, it kinda ruled out the STI and EVO for me.

[tike0rz]

I'll have to agree. I was in the market for a sensible, logical, daily driver with speed and comfort. I found my place in a used S4 for under $10k. With another $10k I will be hustling STis and the like. Thanks for looking.

[ryanmix]

that 10k extra doesn't account for all the money you will have to spend when all the shit goes wrong with your car that will go wrong..its an audi..and save a little extra for the towing company when your car breaks down. STI FTW

[tike0rz]

It will have still cost less than your STi, and be faster, and it wont make me look like a fanboy. And face it, cars break down. Maybe when you realize that, you'll be able to afford a more practical car than an STi.

I've got 133k miles on the stock turbos, and internals, with very little maintenance. Sorry that all you read are horror stories. I could find them with STis too, if I cared.

[SickAudi]

hahahah your soo true second on that!! audi>sti(gay persons car)

[f575gtc]

@tike0rz I am sorry, but for an AWD sports car that can drive through any weather with plenty of power and fun driving setup out of the box you don't get much more practical than an STI.

[MSRYamaha]

@f575gtc yeah right....

[BoostLover97]

@f575gtc Quattro owns Subaru's AWD system any day. I drive mine through any weather and I don't even think twice about sliding around every corner. I've rode in a STi and it doesn't have 20% of the quality an Audi has.

[yamete1]

same for u when ur transmission breaks 4 times in a year.. they're glass

[ryanmix]

You should make sure you know what you're saying before you try throwing stones. It's really fucking irritating when people make statements that are as wrong as this one...

..As for S4 drivers, I dont mean to throw stones myself. I really like them and i almost got one...twice. It just pisses me off when people start talking shit about my car..especially when they can't get their damn facts straight. I tip my hat to anyone who has put 10k into an S4.

[rodgazinya]

Not sure what transmission your refering to being "glass" but the Sti is no glass tranny and thats a known fact..The wrx transmission on the other hand is glass..Good thing were not talkng about wrx;s though..right.

[kyleryoungberg1]

@ryanmix Its a b5 S4, yeah it may break down. but by the time its fixed you still haven't caught up!

[napoe3]

imola s4 is fresh sti's suck dick. life in the fast lane german engineer emmm

[z00yorker13]

LOl is tha the line form that Clipse song.. "ride around shining"

lol cuz if it is.. i love that line cuz i drive german too.. liek listening to that in my benzie.

[napoe3]

yeah its that clipse shit, suprized someone knew. They are the only one besides nas putting out good music.

[noblevdub]

yea man! german engineering yah. That S4 owned that dumb huge winged ricer!

[zoltrix8989]

ummmmmm hahaha thats all i have to say ,

my sti stock ran a 12 my first day out , ,

i put in a super charger, new intake, and stage 2

i ran a 9.5. .

[yamete1]

u must not have an sti, but a 2.5 rs.. lol. u r a FAG

[wtf01s4]

lmfao 12s stock ur a nub

[BennChacks]

HAHA

[honger888]

apply the good, the bad, and the ugly rule to it.. (european=good, japanese=bad(well,not all bad), and american=ugly

[mikeeheart]

Pure luxury + Great looks + endless potential = Audi for life. Audi invented this scene kids.

[GollyGwagen]

Wow, I had no idea that this got so much feedback! I own the S4 and I will back up that she did a decent job. While cars are over a second slower up here, you can get into the 14's with a stock STI here. My car has larger turbo's and GIAC programing. (310whp/365wtq) So it's not as bad as it looks, cars are just slower here at 6000'.

[minotek]

The S4 is way sicker than the STI? Okaaaay...

[jibbin4alivin]

we are all forgeting the point. the S4 is way sicker than that STI every fucking kid in the world owns now a days. That is the ultimate cop out for the "I want to be a street racer" type of 16yr old duechebag.

[Diamondsallover]

No excuses is correct if your gonna bring your car to a track its to race it not too baby it. The girl should have got on it. Sti's have strong as hell gears anyway they could take a measly beating for a 1/4 mile.

[hangurself]

" then she shouldn't of raced it..now should she. if she doesn't know how then don't. i know i wouldn't." Wow, I'm shocked by your wisdom Freakingguitar. I mean if your not great at something to start with why both trying at all. I think its best to just give up all together and screw self improvement, having fun, and the whole effort thing.

[freakinguitar]

15 on a STi..that driver sucks. i mean come on how do u seriously get a 15 when a STi is a 13 stock...

[sammae01]

because not everyone wants to always rape their $30k car, and like you heard, it was a 17 year old girl. if you were her age and saw her on the street, you wouldn't do a double take?

[freakinguitar]

then she shouldn't of raced it..now should she. if she doesn't know how then don't. i know i wouldn't. and dude i know i have a STi.

[jilleric5305]

you dont bring a car to drag track to casually drive.

[ralfmalf72]

The STI was driven by a 17 yr old girl and she had her BF in the car. I think she did great. Look at her reaction time! This was also filmed at high altitude so deduct about 1.1 secs from the ET.

The S4 is running an APR chip.

[si12j12]

no excuses

[rokas88]

@ralfmalf72 Was the girl a cute blonde by any chance?

[Soulstar85]

Eh, room for improvement.

[beauzo1287]

lol great way to rep sti's with that driver hitting 15s
