So is it as simple as dividing the ratio of one vs. the other to see how much faster/how many more times the engine would turn to cover the same distance (e.g., around 15% faster?)

Sorry to have to dissagree with you but I did double check on that before I posted. I wish they were GTS.

My race car does use an F40 caliper which is the same size as S4 but it is made to work with 14" rotors. It's all about the leverage.
