Of course, my S4 is of the older, twin-turbo persuasion ;-) With just a chip and upgraded intercoolers, the Aero is no match performance-wise.

In my S4s current form, it will take hands-down the newer V8 S4s. There is just no substitute for turbocharging! Add in the incredible traction, especially while launching the car, and it's just amazing!

That being said, I still enjoy the Saab and I think it's a very nice car. Just not a great car like the Audi.

I also do have to agree with the Audi's nickel and diming you to death. Especially with the older models, like mine. The Saab is much more reliable than the Audi. Neither is any more difficult to work on than the other.

One key difference is the cost of performance mods. As expensive as the Audi is(especially the S4), it is still way cheaper to buy mods for than the Saab. More choices for the Audi, too.

Just my 2 cents!
