S4 torque HOLY CRAP

I've been driving all my other Porsches while my '87 S4 5spd was getting a new engine for 15 months .... Godzilla -- and I have to say, HO-LY-MO-LY that thing is fun. I seriously don't need any more torque than that. PERFECT.

Try a GT with an X pipe not to mention SC and turbocharged cars.

Tried them. For me, the S4 is the ticket. Just right.

'Feel the power of the dark side'..................

Drive a 928 with boost, tough to drive without it now. NA can be great, but cram a bit more air/fuel in there and it a very different ride. Not for everyone, but perfect for some. The tough part is keeping the drivers license intact.

That's what my wife says when she drives the shark. The Boxster is her DD so she told my daughter "I understand why your dad likes to drive fast. The 928 makes you do it."
