As much as I don't like Audi,
even a bad AWD system is better then FWD
and the S4 has that advantage on the Viggen or Aero.
So no matter how much you will tweak your
Viggen or Aero, the S4 can be made faster.
But then again a cheap WRX is easy to make
faster then a S4...
But the Viggen and Aero have one advantage
they both use a Turbo engine that is way
more durable and advanced then the Audi LPT 2.7L V6
Audi lovers will hate that, but ECU wise the
SAAB engine has quite an edge.
One other thing, the Viggen and Aero are both
pretty darn good FWD cars, while the S4 can not
pretend to be anywhere near the sophistication
of more advanced AWD systems used by Subaru, Mitsu.
Older Lancia's and the Escort Cosworth.
Here is a good link to understand good AWD cars.
Enjoy!
