I know that s4's have less power, but weigh less. S5's have more power, and weigh more, but were faster when they were new.

What's confusing is that s4's are typically faster, at least from what I've heard. Why is that?

less wieght, and the s5's arent that much more powerful (15hp? and 200lbs)

Yeah, but s5's were faster new.

last time i checked S4s were slower... my s5 TII took a S4 TII with ease... and he had a resonator instead of a cat... i had a cat

My S4 took an S4 with ease too, so that means they're all the same. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

stock for stock, mod for exact same mod. a S5 should be faster. all other things being equal. S5's have nicer interior, higher redline. lots of other stuff https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Yeah, I do like my s5 a lot more than my friend's s4

The fastest stock Fc was an s4 T2. 0-60 in 5.4, read that in a magazine, maybe it was road and track, some japanese model. I have always heard that s4 n/as are faster than s5 n/as too.

i kept up pretty good with chainsaw's FC (s4&straight pipes) and i got a vert..i think it a myth..i have killed SE s4's many times
