New Car - 2013 Audi S4 - Replaces Mustang

So I had a 2004 Mustang Mach 1 6spd, that I loved. Things were changing in my life so I sold it (I shouldn't have!). This is my new car, I absolutely love it.

Car has 333hp, 325 tq with Quattro all wheel drive. Audi has a tuning company called Stasis that doesn't void your factory warranty. I am getting the tune next week and the car will have 416 Hp, with the all wheel drive it already launches so I am excited to see what it can be after next week. I also need to get the windows tinted, but I just got it a couple days ago. I was going to go 6sp, but this car has the dual clutch and launch control so I am happy with it.

These are bad photos, but I just had it cleaned and snapped a couple photos, also needs tire shine. I love the color, its a crystal effect so it changes under certain light, can look light blue to dark blue to purple

Thanks, I'm real happy with it. The Auto is awesome actually, the launch control is sweet. You take traction control off, smash the brake, smash the gas and let go. Its a blast. I miss driving a manual, but I get to do that a lot still at work.
 
Best luxury cars I've ever drove and very comparable prices to other so called luxury cars... And as usual more power and better MPG.
 
So it'll pick up 83hp just with a tune? Or did I miss something? Perhaps it's just the skeptic in me, but I have a hard time believing they left 24% more power on the table. But perhaps I'm wrong.

Sweet ride!

Im suprised Audi hasnt up'd the horsepower with all the AMG, M, and V ratings out there..
 
Well...not quite. Looks like 77hp/27lb-ft with exhaust according to the site. Up to 410hp in that configuration. Either way, pretty impressive, but clearly not all in the tune.


"STaSIS engine software releases the full potential of your vehicle, providing reliable and smooth power increases without sacrificing day-to-day drivability. Our software replaces the factory software installed in the engine control unit (ECU), and is customized to adjust fuel delivery, boost settings, ignition timing, and other areas that will improve performance.

Gains: +77 hp / +27 lb-ft (with STaSIS exhaust)"
 
I will upload the chart later, but Stasis just released their new flash for the 2013 S4 3.0 engine. The gains are 84HP/43TQ from 333HP to 417HP and 347 to 390TQ from JUST THE FLASH, no exhaust needed. Part of that as well is that Audi grossly under markets their HP numbers. The new S8 has a HP of 550, Motor Trend put it on a dyno and it showed 585. Odds are the car has more than 333 to begin with, however the end result from Stasis is 417 HP
