i don't think you guys are giving the k04 gti enough credit. remember that the s4 is a ~4,200lb car. a good buddy of mine has a k04 gti (FreddyD) and we're often neck in neck (we never run from a dig, pointless) around town, but remember the gti isn't really geared for a k04, he has to shift every 2 seconds. on the highway, 70+ he pulls on me.
I'm still on old v1.0 Stage 2 software (v2.0 adds 30hp) so perhaps things will change once I update, but in the meantime his k04 is no joke, at all. in fact i'd concede that on the highway he is definitely faster than me.
maybe i need to LTD (it takes real skill to floor the accelerator =P)
we're happy to gopro it the next time i'm in his area.
(should add he has the APR software for his k04)
Do it anyway and shut him up.

Honest question but are K04 GTI's even under 13.5 in the 1/4 mile??
why does anyone quote car magazine stats when it comes to cars?

I owned a B5 S4, and that thing was ridic even before the mods. Kind of in a different league those cars. Do I miss the car? Yeah. Do I miss the upkeep? Nope. Do I love my GTI? You bet.
First post btw. What's up!
