Not to slam a fantastic car, but the stock S4 is not *that* fast really. I think the spec is 270hp with 2 turbos and a 2.7L V6 motor...but the weight of the car and AWD system soaks up a lot of that power.
I have come up against a variety of them on the track (stock and modified) and my (modified) SPG is definitely equal to or faster on the straights, with approx. equal cornering speeds w/ 205 rubber (haven't tried it with 225 tires yet).
Remember unless the conditions are really awful (ice, snow, heavy rain, etc) that AWD system is only slowing you down. Then again I bet 430hp probably makes dry conditions somewhat "slippery" too! Can you do AWD burnouts in that car?
