I haven't been in many S4's, but the ones I have been in make me appreciate the lower gearing of my OB. I mean, it's not like we live on the Autobahn (unfortunately).
To be clear, I won't be leaving behind the 930...the 928 will supplement, not substitute.

Regarding gearing, I'm quite used to long, tall cogs. The 930 has a 4 speed box with notoriously tall gears. Both 3rd and 4th are overdrives, in fact. Redline in 3rd is 135-140mph.

If it isn't too far, I'd say drive the rough one, you'll at least get a baseline for comparison.

Just saw this post.
If you are still in the Pac NW, I may be able to set up a handful of cars for you to drive tomorrow (Sunday).
