Straight from Audi documentation from Audiworld for the 2004 2.7T.

And your own link about the S-line says its 6.4 secs.

So... half a second. Proof...

And yes, half a second faster 0-60 time is big. Ask anyone who actually tunes and mods cars.

 

What ticked me off was when Four Ring Circus, said that there is nothing much to S-line, than a spoiler and badge. I mean, how ignorant can you be?

I don't meant to look down at guys here who don't have S-line. But, I, along with others are making a point that there is more than a spoiler that makes S-line, ...ah let's say S-line.

Abbott, where are you in Maryland?. I am in Gaithersburg. Let's try to get all Audi enthus of Maryland together and take our rides out, just like HOG (Harley Owners Group)!

 

Thats the point I was trying to make. The 15 extra hp makes the S-Line, along with other things. I dont tune my car so I could care less which one is faster. Nocturnal, I live in Baltimore

 

Read this........Str8 from motor week. if you read the 3rd pharagraph, it even says that they test drove the 6-speed.

let see the website where you got your info from and please, no typed info.

 

not really interested in the secs but a classic is worth a look

 

Like I said, on Audiworld, documentation straight from Audi.

And about the S-line, the link abbot already posted.

There: PROOF, becuase apparently you think I make this sh*t up...

 

let me rephase it.....LET'S SEE TEST DRIVE SPEC'S. NOT A PDF. LETS SEE SPEC'S FROM SOMEWHERE OTHER THEN ANOTHER AUDI FORUM WEBSITE.....YA KNOW.....LIKE I DID. SOMETHING LIKE ROAD & TRACK

 

That PDF dont prove anything, everybody knows that car companys pump up there spec to sell the car, look at the RX-8.

Like I said, I dont care which one is faster, I dont tune my car, it gets me from point A-B. I just think the S-Line looks nicer and dude should get the S-Line over a older A6, or any A6 if it's not a S-Line....yup, I said it.

 

You know, some guy here can prove that 747 is bigger than 380! I don't care, just don't tell me that S-line is just a spoiler and a badge.

 

People! We all love our Audis (hopefully) and we are here to help each other. Lets not hate.

Once you get beyond the generic transport modules a good car has a lot to do with how it make you feel. Even though the tip is not a good example many "auto" gearboxes will perform better than most drivers can on their best day. I have a 6 speed manual but until I can figure out that perfect launch my chances of beating a tip sits with the Playboy bunnies who all want to share my bed with me. But it is the feeling I get when i shift gears myself, no computer telling me when to shift (and it does even in manual mode on the tip), holding whichever gear I want while going straight to it, knowing when I make a mistake, gets me feeling much more part of the car. Despite amazing autos these days cars like the RS4, M5, M6 etc still come with a manual option.

The fact is, as stated before, that a 6 speed with the sport package (seats, suspension etc) is essentially mechanically identical to a S-line and in the hands of the right driver it is faster. But it all comes down to how you feel. The S-line is a trim package. Some may put the S-line package in the same category as 22s with low profiles on a Hummer or a wad of tiolet paper in your shorts to make you look bigger but if it makes you feel good that is all that counts.

Drive both and decide. For me it is the 6 speed with the sport package all the way. Do tell us what you decide.
