Anyone have an Audi S4? B6

[pablo]

As above, Im thinking of heading to england to get one but never driven one and a little anxious that performance might be a bit lacking.

Dont suppose anyone has one could take me a run up the road a little?

cheers.

Only had a quick blast in a mates years ago, an auto. Hugely underwhelming, felt very heavy and not that quick. Very quiet too. I'm sure they're great cars but wouldn't offer any thrills like you think a V8 would.

That same mate had E36 M3s and Evos before that, he was rid of the S4 within a couple of months.

Get a drive for sure though, @Peadar I think has one.

 

[pablo]

thats what Id suspect

Get an estate, hate it, flog it to me for a very bad price

Dead Pabs ... looked into them years ago and found nothing positive about the performance ... hateful on fuel and dont move very fast, awful combo

 

[Coog]

Are they not 0-60 in 5.2 seconds odd? Surely that's fairly rapid?

 

[ossy2004]

Surly a remap (expensive thou) would fix the power issue and result in an awesome car?

 

[ChrisL]

@Coog Id be surprised at that ... heavy car with quattro system aswel ...

 

[pablo]

5.0-5.2s to 60 it seems

 

[Conor]

Of course they're quick, but they don't 'feel' quick, if that makes sense. Very linear and very quiet, no atmosphere.

The one I was in was a slushbox auto too, which definitely didn't help.

 

[ChrisL]

Wouldnt have thought that for that big car ... maybe I was misinformed dude. Taking the pre cats out would help with the noise ... the hemi had two straight pipes and it sounded like a wounded animal lol

 

[ChrisL]

Bit like BMWs then quite quiet but still fast but dont feel it until you get pulled over for speeding

 

[Boabybooster]

Can take you a run in the S6 same engine/power/Quattro albeit slightly heavier.

I test drove a green estate B6 many moons ago before I bought my Avus Silver S3, I thought it was a lovely driving car, effortless pace but certainly very refined and grown up. Subtle engine note so they do need an exhaust to make the most of the V8.

I would imagine you'd have to upgrade the suspension and exhaust straight away if you were to get on with one Pabs.

Lovely looking cars though, especially in Nogaro Blue.

 

[Boabybooster]

That engine definitely needs an exhaust. This is mine

 

[pablo]

think Ill take you up on the offer boaster. Ill warn you in advance Im not buying it tho (auto )

 

[Woodcutter]

I think @Peadar has one of these @pablo

 

[Peadar]

@pablo you're more than welcome to come get a drive in mine!

I would be of opposite opinion to most of the comments above, I think they're great going things and a very smooth drive. It is by a long margin, in every way, a better car than our B8.5 3.0 bi-supercharged S4. Just a far better car to drive, sounds nicer, handles better and dare I say it, faster.

You break it you buy it . Flappy paddles . PM me mate I'm not far from you. Sure if @Peadar has one probably better trying an actual s4.

 

[ChrisL]

Just realised ive been confusing this thread with a B7 S4 @pablo ... Stick to what you know springs to mind lol

 

[Lyons]

That's a B5. B7 is a V8 too.

Youve talked about these for a while Pablo, i think it's an itch you have to scratch. Get a Miltek.

 

[ChrisL]

Whats the B6 look like @Lyons ...

 

[pablo]

yeah its purely an itch scratch affair! Going to run through a few motors and tick them off the list before buying something sensible

 

[Peadar]

Whats the B6 look like @Lyons ...
