The audi quattro is the better handling car in the turns and from a standing start. On the straight in 2nd & 3rd gear, I was not impressed with stock S4 acceleration. The audi sales guy was smiling, and I was thinking.."is this all she has?" Don't forget, the S4 is a 3600 lb car and it loses any awd advantage in dry weather or on the highway. Even with a 310hp upgrade chip, I think (OK, I'm sure) the S4 would still have problems with a chipped 260-270hp viggen. I have recently thought of going to a '00-'01 S4. The ONLY way it would be a better car than the viggen is with the APR stage 3 euro turbo upgrade kit. Approx 420hp/475ft-lb. It costs $6,000 but I guarantee you won't pull away from it. I found one guy who did 12.3 sec. in 1/4 mile at 114mph. THen again..if you spent that much in upgrades on a viggen, who knows?? My viggen has some issues but I enjoy driving it!
