So i don't know how many people post **** like this but what is the weight difference between the s4 and 5? can the weight be removed? the s5 engines have more power but the s4's are still faster. but with the weight hypothetically removed would the s5 be faster? always wondered and need to know to build the ultimate 2nd gen....

The s5 is heavier, but made more power.
The s4 is lighter, but made less power.
My s4 has an s5 motor in it, my guess would be to do the same.
You can remove weight by taking out the back seats, carpeting in the boot, spare wheel, jack etc.

The weight diff varies between the models, but I'd say on average it is about a 200 - 300 lb increase from a S4 to a S5 on the same model. I've raced my buddies S5 TII in my AE (S4), both stock at the time, and from a dead stop I took him through 1st gear, but after that the weight didn't make much of a diff and he would pull past me. And yes, the weight can be taken out, you just got to be creative.
