Well ... test drove a B5 S4 today. And good GOD! MMOOOOAAARRRRR BBBBOOOOOOSSSSSTTTTTSSSZZZZSSSS.
Either the previous owner chipped this or the 2.7t I had in my allroad was way detuned ... but this thing pulls hard. Wow.
The downside is that it currently has a set of blizzaks on and it is a slush-box. In either case, it may pull the trigger. Avant FTW.
