Well that's all subjective. I don't see how you could even compare a charger to a S4/A4.. Personally I think that charger looks horrible.

 

Sound aside, it's a Dodge, on an incredibly dated platform (2006), and "fairly luxurious" c'mon man, the interior quality borders on hideous. They post nearly identical acceleration times up until 100, but the Audi stops shorter, handles better, has a dual clutch transmission and pulls an extra 5-6 mpg on the highway

A $400 JB4 piggyback tune would easily make up any acceleration shortfall.

I could probably be tempted by a 6MT SRT8 Charger......but an automatic R/T, nah.

Man that is pretty. Even with the stripes. What museum? I'll be in Germany in a few weeks traveling all over; might have to stop and see.

Simplicity = fun is certainly a point. Exhibit A: Miata. Hard to find more grins-per-dollar. Is it the omega of cars? No. But it doesn't need to be.

 

An 2017 Audi A4 does not run side by side with a 2017 Charger RT. The looks may be subjective. I can't remember the last time someone's stock A4 got me excited... LOL. Please be careful not to mention S4 and A4 in the same argument. These are two different models at different prices...

 

For over a decade, I've thought the Charger and Challenger look awesome at a distance. Up close it gets awkward. And inside it gets wrong.

Sure looks good on paper, though. And the cars can positively drip with nostalgia, even brand new. That's a heck of a trick.

 

The charger R/T will hit 100 MPH 3 seconds before an Audi A4 does. If you are convinced that they are so close in acceleration then feel free to buy one. But don't say I didn't warn you However, the charger R/T is not an option if you are looking for a clutch pedal.

 

You're completely delusional as to what it takes to build those cars to the point where they are putting down that much power. Look into any build that is pushing those blocks to 600+ whp and it's going to have considerable internal work. Sorry to burst your bubble but they are far from stock internals my friend. That said, you can build any block to withstand that power. It's like you won't even consider you can build the motors of new cars too.

Not sure why you have to be condescending if someone has a differing opinion. Saying someone isn't a 'man' if they don't like what you do? Alright guy.

Lastly, you honestly believe you were giving a F80 M3 any competition in your G37? Do you have a FBO 2002 Civic EX as your other race car?

 

S4 is NOT equal to A4

 

2015 Hemi Charger, 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, 13.7@105 in the 1/4

2017 A4, 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, 13.9@100 in the 1/4

Look at the links I posted. It's a 1.7 second difference to 100.

I did buy one, for my wife

 

yeah theyre not even in the same class. If youre looking to replace something in the same segment as the new q50 sport/red sport...highly recommend test driving the B9 S4's. I got a Jb4 for mine and have walked a majority of street cars that are out there, estimated 435bhp/500tq at the crank. the luxury is out of this world, massaging sport seats (best sport seats ive sat in), pretty much no under-steer due to improved weight distribution, handling is superb. the shifts are so crisp and quick compared to the 7at that ive had for so long. i only had one chance to test the quattro in the snow, but it was really fun in the parking lot!

 

and with an apr tune, the new A4's are just almost as quick as the B9 S4 in stock form. Then it would really clap the cheeks of the charger.

 

I believe a few people have notched kills against stock S4s in JB4 and APR stage 1 tuned A4s.

Those little 2.0 EA888 are stout motors and the DSG is wicked fast. Low 12s high 11s are possible with a downpipe and tune, which is <2K investment. Anyone how says there isn't an aftermarket for modern cars either hasn't researched, or isn't being honest with themselves.

 

$10,000 to be slower?





Faster 0-60 than an all-wheel-drive?


I don't think you get what I'm trying to say. But you should really drive both cars before you make your decision

 

S4 vs apr stage 1 apr A4 (both B9) should run the same 0-60, but i believe the the S4 still pulls off in the 1/4. Still an amazing improvement over stock though! Best 0-60 ive achieved with the Jb4 has been a 3.9, map 3 so i havent turned it up all the way. both cars are amazing pieces of well thought out engineering. Although the steering is nothing to write to home about, but it seems that pretty much all cars have electronic steering vs. hydraulic these days.

 

a strong majority of people buying the A4 arent in it for performance, thats why they have the audi sport division. You're paying that extra money for a more luxurious car. The interior is top tier, some of the highest rated in any car review for even the german midsize sedan segment. You're paying for one of the best AWD systems out there (torsen awd). I'd still take the A4 over the charger, reason being; they're ugly AF.
