Default Mods : might want to take this little tangent elsewhere...?

The 2 cars are in a totally different class.

Look-wise, it's a close call but the S4 does sit 'just right' and with the RS cosmetic mods really does look the part. The S8, on the other hand, is the more 'graceful and wise onlooker'.

Performance-wise, when I'm driving the S8, it feels 'as fast' and responsive as the S4 under most conditions, and the handling has amazed me for such a big car. Of course, side-by-side, the S4 easily outpaces the S8 but it was interesting to see that although there was 2secs difference in the 0-60 times, this narrowed to 1.5secs on the 1/4 mile time.

Out of interest, what NCAP rating does the S8 get?
