If you read C&D you would have seen their comparisons involving the S4, RS6,
M3, M5, E55 AMG, C36 AMG, and S Type R where the S4 and RS6 won outright in
their respective groups. You would have also seen their better on the limit
performance. And you certainly would have seen the road tests a few years back
where the B5 based S4 became the first car in almost 10 years to topple an M3
in a direct comparison when it beat the E36 M3 and Saab 9-3 Viggen in testing.

This isn;t what any of their articles have said, but since you don't actually
read, I'll assume you didn't know any better. I'm guessing that by "reading"
what you actually mean is staring at the pictures and making up whatever words
you think fit nicely.

no dumb dumb I will say this only once, I stated that the GTR was AWD goggle
it. ok look at the 0-60 times pre R34, oh that would require you to read or
do research. yes I want you to show me cars that are a) not made from the
same company, b) are not rally based. the guy you keep talking about he
races in touring.
yes the S4 won in over all rating but on the track it didn't look it up at C
& D and that was only for the cheaper price and more logical interior. for
track numbers the M3 won and the E55 was the best performer for all three
mags.
the B5 had more power, and TT the M3 was NA.

Steve you wouldn't know what the Car mags. said if you used it for TP since
you don't read them. I've posted URLs you've spouted drivel. I can show
you many articles that state what I've said you can't show anything. show
what proof you have, and I'll post real articles something that you can't
do.

Steve people ask for me by name and look past your postings you go off in
other groups and have no ideal what you saying and lots of people laugh at
you trust me I can show email. but I'll let it pat since you have yet to
come with any evidence and your feelings and pride are hurt.

Can you only spout what others have said before, can you be original for
once. I just want you to take a IQ test are you scared that you'll be
exposed for the fool I've known for weeks. if you not scared let me know.

I'm far from a child but all you can say is um, I've seen this before so I'm

You're making things up. Stop it, NOW. First of all, the S4 did make C&Ds Ten
Best list, this January:
http://caranddriver.com/article.asp?...&page_number=1
Secondly, in the C&D comparo, they said:
"Out on the twisty roads, the S4 quickly became the favorite. The firm Recaro
bucket keeps the driver in place without straining. The stability control is so
subtle in its operation that you never feel it intrude (unless you’ve made a
big mistake). Chassis dynamics are simply superb. As you brake deep into a
turn, the S4 puts its belly to the ground and maintains amazing stability as
you pick up the arc toward the exit and squeeze on the power. Roll angles are
tightly controlled. The shocks keep body motions on a short leash. You can feel
the tires scratching and straining for grip as the front and rear electronic
differential locks respond to the V-8 torque. The Quattro’s stern discipline
keeps redistributing the driving forces, allowing you to get the throttle open
early yet cling confidently to your intended line. This is a car that’ll work
with you! Few sporting cars are this open in their communication, and so
disinclined to mischief. "
THIS IS MY FAVORITE: "Of this trio, the S4 is in a class by itself, scoring the
full 10 points in our handling rating, two above the M3 and three above the
C32. It also earned a 10 in fun to drive, decisively above the others. Would
the throaty motor music be worth a point all by itself? It might."

the only way to have a intelligent conversation is to have it with myself
you're not holding up your end of the argument. how do I lie goggle it
dullard it's on the net for all to see. no you haven't they all have
rallying roots or come from the same company, but I guess you can't figure
this out.

what did I lie about, look how old that test is the C32 isn't even made
anymore, are you this sad that you can't compare 04 models. This is sad
Stevie it's 04 not 99-00 so come better, no you piss off.
www.caranddriver.com no Audi in this or last years top10 so come better, oh
you can't.

if you look at the sentence it states that the E55 is the best performer of
sedans, and the M3 is the best in the compact class. I know which ones
compete against which one, I've pointed this out to you many times, but you
don't read this. I've posted all the major car mags. website so you can try
and do some reading. Goggle it pissant, so I don't have to keep doing it.
the only article you have is from 4 YEARS ago, is that when you got to read
the mag. when you spent time in the big house?? give me your email and I'll
be happy to.

I listed products from Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Porsche, Audi and others.
Please go back to the list and find how all of them are either the product of a
single company or derived from rally cars.

>what did I lie about, look how old that test is the C32 isn't even made

This is the road test that you'd been lying about through dozens of posts. Now
that I've shown the board your lies, your backpeddling in order to try and find
a defense. This is the most recent comparison avaliable that includes the MB,
BMW and Audi, and the newer model MB wasn't avaliable at the test. However,
it's of little relevance because the S4 still scored 2 points higher than the
M3 for handling and road holding, and it was ranked as the BEST of the group,
not the easiest to drive as you originally spewed.

> This is sad
>Stevie it's 04 not 99-00


That test was from LATE 2003, and is the most recent where both the M3 and the
S4 were togethor. Moron, did you read the article?

No it doesn't! First off, the M3 and S4 were in the "middleweights" category,
not "compacts" which was a lower rung comparison. Secondly, the Audi scored
higher everywhere it mattered and won, it was the best! Here's the URL to the
comparo, AGAIN:

I'm looking at my copy of the January 2004 Car & Driver right now. The
new Audi S4 is on the 2004 list. Look here.
<http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=33&article_id=7574>
The A4 made it in 2002.
The A6 and TT made it in 2001
The A6 and TT made it in 2000
The A4 made it in 1998

>any Engineer will tell you that it is impossible to have agile handling and

I'm a mechanical engineer (BSME, most of a MSME). It *is* possible to
have agile handling and AWD at the same time. My car, an all wheel
drive Subaru WRX wagon, made the C&D 10 best list in 2002 and 2003. I
know it is very agile.
The all wheel drive WRX STi is Road & Track's
<http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=7&article_id=1206>
reader's choice car for 2004 (MSRP under US$100,000.) That car beat out
the rear wheel drive Porsche GT3, BMW 5-series, Mazda RX-8, and Nissan
350Z, among others. While you may not like them, those cars aren't
exactly known as floaty boats in the handling department.

All wheel drive vehicles can have very agile handling if that is what
they are designed for. A 6000lb Ford Excursion SUV is not. A Subaru
Outback is not. My WRX and some quattro Audi's are. An A6 2.8q is
tuned more for comfort, while the 2.7T and 4.2 version are more agile.
Same thing with the A4 line - cars without a sport package are made more
for comfort than agility. That does not make it impossible to create an
all wheel drive version that is tuned for agility. Look at the S4 or A4
S-line.

Car & Driver says the all wheel drive VW Golf R32 is a ready-made
autocrosser right from the factory. It's not as fast in a straight line
as, say, a STi is, but its handling is superb. It has the same
drivetrain as the 3.2 TT quattro (but a different transmission in the
US). A quote from the May 2004 issue: "recovery in quick transitions is
instantaneous, the car changes direction like a mongoose sorting through
a box of cobras" That sounds pretty agile to me. All wheel drive, when
tuned for that purpose, can allow the driver get back on the power
earlier in a curve than either front or wheel wheel drive can. All
wheel drive cars are a bit heavier than equivalent two wheel drive
versions - so they are incrementally slower in a straight line. And
there can be a bit more friction in the powertrain. But neither of
those things necessarily prevents a car from having agile handling.
Extra weight is a detriment, but we're not talking about a thousand
pound difference (the R32 is ~300lb heavier than a GTI VR6).

You can make a rear wheel drive car handle very well. You can make an
all wheel drive car handle very well. Audi, Porsche, Subaru,
Mitsubishi, and others have proven it's possible. I firmly believe if a
car (of any drivetrain layout) doesn't handle well, or isn't agile, it's
a matter of the engineers and accountants saying "no" rather than "can't".

I already posted the URL for him twice. But he'll ignore it and claim it

Not to degrade your degree, but you don't need to be an engineer to know this.
You just need the capacity for logic, a mild understanding of weight
distribution and suspension tuning, and some real world experience behind the
wheel of various makes and models. Ghee has none of these things, so it's hard
for him to understand. He's quite good at lying and fabricating stories though.

>That car beat out
>the rear wheel drive Porsche GT3, BMW 5-series, Mazda RX-8, and Nissan
>350Z, among others.


IMHO, it got elected for it's price point and because it's been driven by a
much larger percentage of the population than the GT3. You might be interested
in reading Sports Car magazines (April 04' issue I think) comparo between the
Lancer Evolution RS (the lightweight version) Corvette Z06 and Carrera GT3. The
GT3 won outright in terms of track dynamics and overall ability but it
obviously losses to the Lancer when it comes to bang for the buck. I'm a little
sad that Porsche won't be offering the Carrera GT3 RS here in North America
though.

>While you may not like them, those cars aren't
>exactly known as floaty boats in the handling department.


Ghee wouldn't. Assuming he's even actually old enough to drive (which is
something I can't be sure of), his experience behind the wheel is lacking
severly and it shows.

>All wheel drive vehicles can have very agile handling if that is what

He won't understand this. Ghee thinks that AWD cars are all derived from Rally
cars and that Touring and Rally are the same thing. He also cites F1 as his
primary example for proof of RWD superiority and refuses to acknowledge the
fact that BMW, Chevrolet, Dodge and various other RWD racers are losing to
Quattro Audis in Speed's Touring series. He also claims that Ferrari history of
racing is superior to Porsche's and Audi's histories, which is a blatant
falsehood.

>Car & Driver says the all wheel drive VW Golf R32 is a ready-made

VW Vortex (www.vwvortex.com) and "Sub Driven" (www.subdriven.com) did a
comparison test in conjunction with one another of the R32, Lancer EVO and WRX
STi. The R32 lagged in 0-60 tests but it was compareable on the track with
better control and dynamics. They agreed that VW's tire choice for the R32 was
poor, and that a tire upgrade would put it easily ahead of the Japanese cars
thanks to it's more "track oriented" suspension. VF Engineering put togethor a
supercharged version of the R32 (it was featured in European Car, I believe it
was the November or December 2003 issue) that could pull off 0-60 in 3.2
seconds, and included suspension and drivetrain upgrades for a total cost of
under $50k.

However, it's of little relevance because the S4 still scored 2 points

you have yet to do anything, I'm killing you, step your argument up so I can

minority, oh well go head and put up the white flag, I've proven you wrong
over and over aging, just look at all the old post, like PT said I'm the
champion. all the companies you listed have cars that are derived from
lessons learned from rallying, and two are the same company. Like I said
that's an old campro, how am I backpedaling, I've proved that the S4 was not
compared to the best small sports sedans, so it can't be garnered best, just
better than what's on the market now, and it barley bet the M3, if you look
through all the stats it's a smidge ahead. OK, but it doesn't have the NEW
MB yet so it's old. dumb dumb, you do realize that the M3 and S4 are
compact by EPA standard, but I can tell you've never look at that guide. I
can read better than you, I've pointed out the numerous times you've mis
read. I didn't know if it was yours or your moms I wouldn't want to upset

that's not the argument, Stevie & his boyfriend said that AWD are better performers than RWD, and I was showing them that they all have there +'s and -'s, Byron I totally agree with all you posted, their point was that an AWD is a better performer than a RWD, and I disagreed with them. any car can made to handle well, or like a pillow, depending on what the designers are looking for.

Tha Ghee wrote on 3/20/04:

any Engineer will tell you that it is impossible to have agile handling and
AWD at the same time.I'm a mechanical engineer (BSME, most of a MSME). It is possible to have agile handling and AWD at the same time. My car, an all wheel drive Subaru WRX wagon, made the C&D 10 best list in 2002 and 2003. I know it is very agile.
The all wheel drive WRX STi is Road & Track's reader's choice car for 2004 (MSRP under US$100,000.) That car beat out the rear wheel drive Porsche GT3, BMW 5-series, Mazda RX-8, and Nissan 350Z, among others. While you may not like them, those cars aren't exactly known as floaty boats in the handling department.

All wheel drive vehicles can have very agile handling if that is what they are designed for. A 6000lb Ford Excursion SUV is not. A Subaru Outback is not. My WRX and some quattro Audi's are. An A6 2.8q is tuned more for comfort, while the 2.7T and 4.2 version are more agile. Same thing with the A4 line - cars without a sport package are made more for comfort than agility. That does not make it impossible to create an all wheel drive version that is tuned for agility. Look at the S4 or A4 S-line.

Car & Driver says the all wheel drive VW Golf R32 is a ready-made autocrosser right from the factory. It's not as fast in a straight line as, say, a STi is, but its handling is superb. It has the same drivetrain as the 3.2 TT quattro (but a different transmission in the US). A quote from the May 2004 issue: "recovery in quick transitions is instantaneous, the car changes direction like a mongoose sorting through a box of cobras" That sounds pretty agile to me. All wheel drive, when tuned for that purpose, can allow the driver get back on the power earlier in a curve than either front or wheel wheel drive can. All wheel drive cars are a bit heavier than equivalent two wheel drive versions - so they are incrementally slower in a straight line. And there can be a bit more friction in the powertrain. But neither of those things necessarily prevents a car from having agile handling. Extra weight is a detriment, but we're not talking about a thousand pound difference (the R32 is ~300lb heavier than a GTI VR6).

You can make a rear wheel drive car handle very well. You can make an all wheel drive car handle very well. Audi, Porsche, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and others have proven it's possible. I firmly believe if a car (of any drivetrain layout) doesn't handle well, or isn't agile, it's a matter of the engineers and accountants saying "no" rather than "can't".

between the Lancer Evolution RS (the lightweight version) Corvette Z06 and

No I've seen it, and all the urls I've posted you have glossed passed.
Stevie I won my own vehicle do you still try to pimp out your parents ride??
I have plenty of driving experience doing for over 10 yrs. now. Not at all,
my point is that, you only cite, rallying and rallying derived cars, the GTR
was not rallying inspired, it's just that Rhys, took it up the hill and Gran
Tur made it a hit, I know the difference last time I check the FWD Stratus
does well. I never said it was better, I said that it had a great history,
Stevie why is it that you can't prove your point so you start making up

What? You claimed very recently that Touring and Rallye are the same thing. In
addition; the Skyline, 3000GT, Eclipse GSX, 911 Turbo, S4/RS4 and S6/RS6 were
all on my list, NONE of which are rally derived.

But it's the most recent with both an M3 and an S4 and it's less than a year

being easier to drive, which obviously isn't the case. You lied about this

Yea, it was. And according to you, the M3 is the pinnacle of performance in a
car of it;s size and type. And the S4 trounced it.

>dumb dumb, you do realize that the M3 and S4 are

The Environmental Protection Agency says that the M3 and S4 are compact? Please
link to that effect. And also realize that in the context of the C&D compare,
they were "middleweights".

However, it's of little relevance because the S4 still scored 2 points
higher than the M3 for handling and road holding, and it was ranked as the

when have you nailed me to the post, you can't post you a dummy. so you're
a dummy twice then?? dumbass Audi/Porsche?lambo are all same, but I doubt
you know this, and I also said "rally inspired" or did you miss this??
Handling is subjective, so you have to look at multiple reviews and also do
it for yourself, if you look at R&T Autom., & Autoweek, they all had the M3
rated higher. you do realize Jan was more than 2 months ago, but now I can
see you can't count or debate, this is sad. unlike you I read very well but
you don't, you need to work on that but you Burger U education to some use.

>Audi/Porsche?lambo are all same

No, they aren't. Porsche's relationship with the Audi group is familial in
nature, but has nothing to do with Porsche owning Audi/VW or vice versa. If you
knew the history of either company, you'd know that Ferdinand Piech, formerly
the head of Audi/VW was the son-in-law of Ferdinand Porsche, but that Porsche
and Audi were scarcely involved in business togethor. Audi now owns
Lamborghini, but Lambo has it's own engineers and designers. And you've still
failed to show how any of these companies can be linked to Mitsubishi, Nissan,
Subaru or the others on my list, or how any of them except the WRX and Lancer
are rally derived.

>Handling is subjective, so you have to look at multiple reviews and also do

I've been using the C&D comparison as the benchmark for months now and you
never questioned it until I threw the truth in your face. If you want to bring
other comparisons into the fold you'll need to link to them. Nobody here is
going to take your word on what they say.

You're ignoring the fact that the S4 still would have beaten the M3, no matter
which MB was there. And seeing how MB has never built an AMG-tuned C-Class as
good as the M3, I sincerely doubt getting the newer version would have made a
difference. Just admit the fact that the S4 is better than the M3 and C.

No, if you look at specs on Audi/Por they share a lot of common parts which
I think would have Fer Porsche turning over in is grave. Audi/Por are more
a like than you would like to admit. no I've also quoted the three mags.
but you don't read that I think Motor Trend is better and so is R & T. so
NO you didn't throw anything in my face I don't have your job I know you're
used to that.

There is not a single part being shared between Audi and Porsche, not ONE. The
closest thing would be the Cayenne, which uses a chassis co-developed by VW and
Porsche for use in the Cayenne and Toureag. But the Cayenne has it's own
suspension, engines, body and interior. It's only the bare bones of the chassis
that are the same and this says nothing of the 911 or Boxster or any of the
other Audi/VW models.

>Audi/Por are more
>a like than you would like to admit


HOW? They don't share parts, they don't co-develop models, they've got nothing
in common beyod familial connections.

>I've also quoted the three mags


No you didn't.

>Motor Trend is better and so is R & T


Ha! MT and R&T are hack job mags, and admittedly C&D is only a marginal step
up.

made a difference. Just admit the fact that the S4 is better than the M3 and
C.

just because ONE mag says it's better no, R & T and MT said it wasn't, so no
it's not a better car in any way but for the AWD.

I know you know nothing about the cars, do some research and get back to me
you are not dumber than Michelle. Yes they do dumbass pick up a mag. and do

no why would I want to take your tax refund. is 13 the age of your

300 GT is not AWD, the GSX was def. rally derived. no Stevie with all your

The 3000GT VR-4 was AWD, as was the R/T Turbo variant of it's Dodge
counterpart, the Stealth. Both also had All-Wheel-Steering. Should'nt your vast
knowledge of cars and magazines have helped you here?

No it wasn't. Mitsubishi rallies with the Lancer, they never used the Eclipse
as a rallye car.

The 911 is running a 3.6 litre flat-six developed by Porsche. The RS6 is
running a 4.2 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 developed by the sport division at
Audi. Who's stupid?
