you would win! The 3.2 is listed by audi to be 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. I am 100% sure you would win in a race, what im less sure about is why you would win. Im guessing because of curb weight.

I think the "boost-factor"..gives me edge over the NA motor...

people put too much emphasis on peak hp. pay attention to the entire torque curve. two cars can have the same peak hp (rpm x torque) / 5252) but have different amounts of overall power.

The only reason the B5 S4 would win is the B7 3.2 is a f*****g tank!!! A lot heavier.
If that engine were placed in a B5 the 3.2 would probably win.

A lot of people do think the B5 S4 has a lot of power stock, which compared to a lot of other performance cars stock it really doesnt. Compare it to the 2.0T, only 50 more hp but it pulls so much harder. The S4 just has a bigger power band, it hits peak faster and all around has good power throughout the power band. The 2.0T and 3.2 are just peak, other than peak the power is a lot less.

Kinda hard to explain in text but I hope this makes sense!
