        It's nice to see that your 540i still does so well. Have you ever raced against a B5 S4 with the full APR Stage III upgrade? That might be a good challenge. That kit winds up with ~ 412 HP, 482 lb.-ft. of torque. A lot of RS4 components (turbos, MAF, injectors, fuel pump) add up to insane power.

        I sort of expected the M3 to lose to the S4. The M3 has higher HP, but it really needs to build to that peak HP in each gear. He starts off good off the line (was he launching with our limited U.S. SMG-2 launch system?), but the S4 just pulls away with more low end power in each gear. Pretty hard to catch up.

        And the C32 AMG... well, no big surprise that he walked away from that one.
