As with most hardcore show cars, the S4's performance wasn't addressed until the end. Being stuck with a Tiptronic transmission, 2.7 twin-turbo motor received minimal upgrades including GIAC software and aquad exhaust system. A Spearco front-mount intercooler ensured chilled intake temperatures, while the engine bay received carbon covers, and the piping remains baby blue from a previous incarnation.
Since retiring his S4 from the show scene, Andy has built a number of daily drivers but is planning to relocate to Taiwan in '09, so we wish him all the best.
