preferably s4 over s5. i like the kinda plain 80's look on s4's also they are a little easier to work on than the s5's but i can be wrong. and honestly i don't like s5 taillights i prefer the s4's, just cause it goes with the old school japanese style, and you can get like 2 pairs of s4 tails for the price of a pair of s5 tails. lol

My S4 is cool and all, but my seatbelts don't lock up when you yank on them real hard.
Could a S4/S5 N/A FC3S Franken engine be "bulletproof"? As in reliable and strong?

I'm pretty sure they're the same, just the S5 bumper itself is longer. If the fenders were longer, the hood and headlight covers would have to be longer as well (due to the way they meet the front bumper), but I'm pretty sure all those parts are the same between S4 and S5, so the fenders must be the same too.

The S5 FC3S is obviously a superior car. It has already proven that by being the best drifting car for drifting there is. Why do you think they used an S5 in Wangan Midnight and Initial D??
I rest my case.
Plus the S4 just looks dumb, like they were trying to copy the Back 2 the Future car or something, all square and 80's looking...

I think it's funny that the vast majority of people who prefer the S5 over the S4 base their opinions on styling alone. When I owned an S5, I guess I felt that way too. There are so many functional things I prefer about my current S4 that my mind has been changed.
I also don't understand people who buy a car from the 80s then complain that it looks like a car from the 80s. This makes as much sense as somebody buying a '57 Chevy then taking out a Sawzall and chopping off the tailfins because they make the car look "dated."

And if we were doing stock for stock I would take an S4 over S5. Stock clutch type LSD over a vicious any day. If you know anything about drifting then you should understand that.
I agree that the S5 body looks better, however.

All of the points you guys make to defend S4's are retarded and I think deep down inside you realize it. Viscous LSD? Like ******* seriously? Whens the last time any of you dipshits even took your car to a road course or drifting competition? I bet if I replaced yours with an S5 unit you wouldn't notice ****. Same **** w/ the OMP (since most run premix) and the seatbelts.

Disagree with the seatbelts, after like two days of the automatic ones, I was ready to shoot myself. I disconnected the fuse and now just pull it over my head. I'm 5'4" so it doesn't bother me too muych, but having to do it for everyone who gets in my car is annoying. I'm just waiting for a set of manual S4 ones. But something you have to do everytime you get in a car is noticeable.
Still, S5 all the way!!!! Even tho I got a S4 LSD in my car
