This is probably one of the best videos on /Drive - the combination of Matt and Chris is just fantastic, they seem to fit each other so well and can supplement each other - they should have a show together, or at least make more collaborations!
sadly, Tuned isn't enough to pay the bills, so I had to get a day job. Working 50 hours a week at a day job puts a major delay on the filming process, but I'm working hard in order to get back to filming as soon as possible. Thanks for understanding.
+needraintodrift It's funny how such little changes can make such a difference, HELL just taking great care of your vehicle can have it out-performing those poor abused sports cars. *It's truly an illness, once you pop you can't stop.*
Trust me when I say you will not stop there. I got a Stage 1 tune and figured that would do it. Now dual pulleys Stage 2 Milltek exhaust, later I'm still going for more.
"My Corvette is tuned the same way!" ...this S4 with a box tune... his Corvette has aftermarket heads, camshaft, headers, pushrods, valve springs. Yep. Same way.
I totally agree with what you are saying. But, didn't he build the vette in stages? That's usually the way most of us do it, but he tends to be able to go from 0 to dream build faster than most of us. My point is that, maybe, his 'vette was only tunde at the time of this video?
I don't think he meant that literally, obviously. He meant that most cars are subdued and need to have their potentials "unlocked". His Corvette was "unlocked" with his tuning, whereas the Audi was also "unlocked" with a tune.
I mean, it's more fun to drive a lightweight car with great steering and a perfect manual gearbox than it is to drive a faster, but heavier, AWD audi Estate with paddle shifters and.
What a brilliant episode! I simply cannot describe how much I want to see Chris and Matt on screen together in future Drive videos. They are my two favourites and they work so well together. I'm only sorry I wasn't down at my mate's in the Midlands when Matt was out, haha.
Having now watched hundreds of MF and CH videos, I can honestly say that this very early one is one of the best, certainly feels so much less contrived and more endearing for it!
I think he sold it in the end and got about £13k for it. Although that's mainly down to the fact he spent the best part of £7k on a new gearbox. This is all just from memory though. It was his Wifes car I think.
What is really good about this show is that Chris talks about and even drives his own cars. What you drive says so much about who you are, and from what I've watched so far Chris is a classy bloke. Take note Top Gear...
calling the cayman "very slow" is wrong imo. i mean 275hp is quite something i guess, it may be insignificant to these guys who drive 600hp cars all day but come on, a cayman is not a slow car.
Chris Harris and Matt Farah are the two reasons I come to drive. Definitely a happy day when these guys get together for an ep. Please do more episodes together guys, you seem like good mates and it's thoroughly enjoyable to watch you two being hoons through the back roads of the UK countryside!
Matt, I totally agree with the philosophy of tuning a car to it's potential without going overboard. I own a Magnum SRT8 and have done (IMHO) just that. Engine puts out a "modest" 450hp/460tq to the wheels, bigger brakes, and added one of the biggest original omissions, a LSD! Externally, added a vinyl strip on the C pillar to keep the continuity of the window profile, painted the nose a matte black where a slight depression exists, and spacers to get the stock wheels properly positioned.
Yes, it's pretty underpowered for the chassis it has.But i think we have seen the last of this kind. New turbo motors are coming and all these shortcomings will be remedied. With a 2 liter they can safely produce 300 Hp and 400 Nm while with with something like a 2.4-2.5 they can reach the 400Hp and 500Nm mark easily.
I like Chris very much, what I don't like is how, for the most part, Chris and I say similar things just from different perspectives, and how some people treat the guy like he's a god. Even he thinks that's stupid.
There is an ever so slight animosity and tension between them too, however it is a good thing. It makes the both of them just that much more interesting. With these too, they seem real and haven't got an ounce of fake on them. Bravo!
Just love these videos made in some random place in the countryside, with great views, great car journalists, nice music... Simply great composition in any way! ;)
"Every vehicle has a unique experience to offer." Exactly. Finally someone gets it, it doesn't matter whether you have an old beat up 150 hp car or an 691hp Aventador, they all bring different experiences to the table and you will even find many traits that you like in normal cars that are absent in some supercars.
/Drive. This is the best piece you have gifted us yet. When I first saw the /Drive promo, a couple of years ago, this was what I was hoping and waiting for. MORE of Chris and Matt. More of these stories and silliness. And oh yeah, cars. lots of cars. -Love, a loyal fan.
Just my two Canadian cents, or one British pence. I very much enjoyed the juxtaposition of both Chris and Matts styles. There seemed to be a camaraderie or even a chemistry which I found as entertaining as the cars. Nicely done, thanks for the tape and let's see more of these two together please!
I dont know about your olfactory perception, but I would say that getting rid of a nasty smell from your car is priceless. One winter somebody fucked up and spilled half a milk jug in my car. At first the smell was liveable, but once spring began to set in, the higher temperatures turned that milk into cheese, of the french, mouldy variety. You could smell it from outside the car. 3 days, the interior stripped down to the bare shell, knuckles shredded from washing the carpet. Totally worth it!
Not a bad idea considering Top Gear US is now dead. Two Americans (with Leblanc) on the show plus Chris and Rory would make for a great fresh combo - exactly what the show needs.
MagicAyrtonforever I understand and agree with the sentiment, but as a father of two and owner of two dogs, the R will have to do... ;) Also, it will be embarrassing when you get left in the dust at the traffic light by a corny old Golf!
dany1441 Hardly.. The Cayman GTS with PDK will not be left in the dust by anyone on the street if the driver knows how to drive, in fact that goes for the manual too. Also the Porsche is all about luxury and just isn't for the masses.
dany1441 why is that wrong? You can't have it all... Some cars like a GT86, Cayman, etc are meant to be driven for their handling and their balance. Having extra torque is fun, but I would take a slower better handling car over a faster car any day of the week. While driving experiences vary and are clearly subjective, cars like the Golf R never really excite me on the road, the power novelty wears off really quickly.
One of the best episodes on the network. Now Chris needs to come to Cali and they do the exact same thing, but with American cars they both think are great to drive.
Such a great video. I can't help wondering just how much less silly arguments would be on videos if they were called for example "The Audi and the Porsche" instead of "Audi vs Porsche". This is one of the best examples of how two completely different cars can be enjoyed differently but equally. Nice work guys.
geoff Your comment makes no sense also if I'm guessing what you meant by it, you are wrong. If your in the real world appearance is important, if your going to lay down the money to buy a sporty car you will want a good looking one.
I'd love to see more of this type of thing. One note, when they're both talking in the Cayman, the audio is panned backwards; Chris is on the right side of the screen, but his voice comes down the left channel, and vice versa for Matt. Great video though!
I left NYC for the same reason Matt did. The weather is truly terrible here, not to mention the traffic and awful roads. Florida has been incredible, especially for a car enthusiast.
I would love to see more of this! Tuned Vs Stock. What are the limits a professional driver will push vs a everyman, as far as suspension, and can there be had a car for similar money that bests it? "If I put a good set of Coilovers, like KW Variant 3s on my G35 coupe, is there a car that would give me a better ride for not much more money?" I found this all super interesting! Plus the West meets More - West between the hosts was pretty funny! Great video guys!
Matt is completely correct by saying minor tunes work the best. I did a catback exhaust, intake and chip on my a4 and it improved the car 100% without messing up the reliability by keeping the stock turbo.
Not to sound like a dating gameshow host, but Chris and Matt have great chemistry together on screen. You guys are both obviously bright and that comes off well because sometimes when the rest of the crew isn't as strong at Chris/Matt there isn't as much to play off of. Matt represents the more bombastic and Chris the subtlety. I know you guys are in other countries but this is a great formula - wish more "on the road" segments from you two.
Guys, you should meet more often and do there team reviews more often. I know it's costly and not very convenient, but it's defo entertaining and you two make a nice team, from allll pov's.
Probably my favourite episode of Tuned ever. Oh, and I'll take the tuned S4. Planning on buying a used one within the next couple of years and the first thing I do with it will be take it to Stassis.
LUVED this episode. I would have to agree with MATT about the AUDI receiving the level of performance it has. Combined that with a fun factor of the Porsche. then u have a wicked combination that will just leave people mouth open. AND these two need to do more episodes together.
the 38,000 viewer and Yes it is something nice about watching somebody else driving your car, when it is not been stolen that is, I am perplex to see my wife or my son drive my Corvette and I stand in the drive way to see them pull away and that grinning smile they have knowing they have all that power at their disposition at any time. and then I say to my self, DANG I probably look that kool driving that car.
Great episode. Matt, what you said was right on about what's is too much for a street car. I took me several cars and some age to realize this as I'm sure it did you. Hilarious when you got in the passenger side, I could totally see myself doing that lol.
It also depends a little on where you live and how crowded the roads tend to be. In California it is difficult to exceed 100mph without being arrested and having your car impounded. Unless you venture out in the wee hours on Hwy 280. That is why I love a car that sounds wonderful from idle to 150 mph. Porsche Cayman R.
Chris now go to California and drive matt's c5 corvette! Curious to know out of all three (tuned s4, stock cayman, tuned c5 coupe) what's the most fun per dollar. C5!
Totally agree the obsession with big numbers is pointless. On our roads less is more you have more fun taking something a little under powered and taking it to its limits than wafting along in a big three figured car. Thats not to say of course that basic tuning isn't a good idea but only where its needed. More power+chassis competence=Bored faster. Depending on the weight of vehicle 300HP on our uk roads is plenty. I remember having great fun in a little 1.1 106 & frustrated in an Ibiza cupra
Yeah, me too. They should've running a camera when they were out in the pub last night. On the other hand: These - I think you can call 'em RUclips Stars - are so popular and giving us great videos for free every week, they deserve some time off cam.
As an owner of a vintage red Audi Turbo Quattro Avant ('Estate'), you should have both. Some days you need to haul a lot of gear quickly, and some days you need to not brake before corners.
I literally just typed an s4 vs a Cayman and you two fine fellows had, of course , thought of it. You must do more videos together since in case I get to searching more crazy videos.
Chris for the love of God, clean up that Audi. I spent like six hours cleaning up my little brother's Subaru Outback H6 as a present for him since he got his license. It used to be my mom's, then it was mine, then it was my dad's, and now it's his. It's got 135,000 miles on it; it hadn't been cleaned inside or out in about 10,000 miles. We keep our cars tidy, but it had started getting unclean. Six good hours of cleaning and a Shop-Vac would do wonders for that car.
Matt and Chris should do more videos together.
+Nighthawk2112 Was just about to post the same thing. Hell of a duo.
This is probably one of the best videos on /Drive - the combination of Matt and Chris is just fantastic, they seem to fit each other so well and can supplement each other - they should have a show together, or at least make more collaborations!
"275hp Cayman is a great standard car"
-Chris Harris 2013
sadly, Tuned isn't enough to pay the bills, so I had to get a day job. Working 50 hours a week at a day job puts a major delay on the filming process, but I'm working hard in order to get back to filming as soon as possible. Thanks for understanding.
Damn Matt, look how far you have come. Awesome man
I totally agree with matt about that ''little'' tuning.Filter, exhaust ,and ECU is just the starter kit for many enthousiasts but that's all I need.
+needraintodrift It's funny how such little changes can make such a difference, HELL just taking great care of your vehicle can have it out-performing those poor abused sports cars.
*It's truly an illness, once you pop you can't stop.*
cybertree Haha yes I agree
Trust me when I say you will not stop there. I got a Stage 1 tune and figured that would do it. Now dual pulleys Stage 2 Milltek exhaust, later I'm still going for more.
"My Corvette is tuned the same way!" ...this S4 with a box tune... his Corvette has aftermarket heads, camshaft, headers, pushrods, valve springs. Yep. Same way.
I totally agree with what you are saying. But, didn't he build the vette in stages? That's usually the way most of us do it, but he tends to be able to go from 0 to dream build faster than most of us. My point is that, maybe, his 'vette was only tunde at the time of this video?
I don't think he meant that literally, obviously. He meant that most cars are subdued and need to have their potentials "unlocked". His Corvette was "unlocked" with his tuning, whereas the Audi was also "unlocked" with a tune.
@@MichaelCoolGuy86 true, by same was he just meant “safe”
Seriously, can we get an entire series of you two reviewing/driving/bullshitting about cars? while occasionally drinking too much?
These two guys should host Top Gear...
Stephen R this ^^^^
Yup brilliant
Top gear is dead
the S4 has a supercharged 3.0L V6
Having just watched the RS4 v S4 vid... the S4 hardly 'decimated' the RS4. Though it did impressively match it.
It wasn't intended to "decimate" the rs4, it's all about a simple tune you can do to make a much cheaper car keep up with a much more expensive car. 🙄
Flashed S4 matches the RS4.
@@LandRoverDS2020 yes but Matt said it decimated rs4
There was something wrong with that S4 as my stock S4 gaps stock RS4 easily
@TwentytenS4B8 my stock S4 gaps stock RS4's that tune was shit on that S4 on that video
I think I can smell the S4 through my screen...
I mean, it's more fun to drive a lightweight car with great steering and a perfect manual gearbox than it is to drive a faster, but heavier, AWD audi Estate with paddle shifters and.
What a brilliant episode!

When it's nice out, Wales is BEAUTIFUL, one of the prettiest places I've ever been. When it's raining, it's miserable.
Yes true I live here in Wales and own a stage 2+ 034 motorsport tuned B8 S4 ❤
watching this 7 years later and enjoying CH and MF, these guys are the best!
Some say Chris still hasnt cleaned the S4 for 3 years
I think he sold it in the end and got about £13k for it. Although that's mainly down to the fact he spent the best part of £7k on a new gearbox. This is all just from memory though. It was his Wifes car I think.
I read this in Clarkson's voice
I dont always clean an S4 but when i do..
Chris i bought a 2003 audi 4.2 S4 v8 6spd... Avant with an rs4 exhaust. For 3500.00 dollars in black on black.im so stoked.....life score
I did one a few months back. Interesting experience. People were a lot nicer than I expected them to be.
What is really good about this show is that Chris talks about and even drives his own cars. What you drive says so much about who you are, and from what I've watched so far Chris is a classy bloke. Take note Top Gear...
We enjoyed the hell out of those roads for several days. Wonderful place to drive a car.
If I had that s4 I would clean the interior but leave the exterior don't know something about a dirty car that I like
calling the cayman "very slow" is wrong imo. i mean 275hp is quite something i guess, it may be insignificant to these guys who drive 600hp cars all day but come on, a cayman is not a slow car.
Enrico Bagarotto in an age where family hatches have more power it will feel slow
275hp is nothing when it comes to modern sports cars. At that level you are just paying for Porsche handling and not Porsche speed.
@@battleaxebob45 Speed is cheap in the electric age. Lightness however is going extinct
Chris Harris and Matt Farah are the two reasons I come to drive. Definitely a happy day when these guys get together for an ep. Please do more episodes together guys, you seem like good mates and it's thoroughly enjoyable to watch you two being hoons through the back roads of the UK countryside!
I enjoyed watching them hang out during a review very much
TPC does turbo kits for them, but my favorites are the Caymans with GT3 Motor Swaps. Those are just about the perfect sports car.
Matt and chris together awesome fun
This is peak car RUclips. Something everyone else should aspire to.
god damn clean the s4 please, anyone :(
no, the dirtyness adds a specific type of swag, I'd get a white one and never clean it for the dirty swag lol
@@chili24137 its called smelly swag:)
Matt, I totally agree with the philosophy of tuning a car to it's potential without going overboard. I own a Magnum SRT8 and have done (IMHO) just that. Engine puts out a "modest" 450hp/460tq to the wheels, bigger brakes, and added one of the biggest original omissions, a LSD!
Externally, added a vinyl strip on the C pillar to keep the continuity of the window profile, painted the nose a matte black where a slight depression exists, and spacers to get the stock wheels properly positioned.
How much do you want the S4 though? Its probably the perfect car...performance and practical
Yes, it's pretty underpowered for the chassis it has.But i think we have seen the last of this kind.
New turbo motors are coming and all these shortcomings will be remedied.
With a 2 liter they can safely produce 300 Hp and 400 Nm while with with something like a 2.4-2.5 they can reach the 400Hp and 500Nm mark easily.
The condition of that S4 is fucking disgraceful! It must be nice to not have to appreciate the finer cars in life.
I like Chris very much, what I don't like is how, for the most part, Chris and I say similar things just from different perspectives, and how some people treat the guy like he's a god. Even he thinks that's stupid.
I would totally take that S4, but it's needs some love first.
There is an ever so slight animosity and tension between them too, however it is a good thing. It makes the both of them just that much more interesting. With these too, they seem real and haven't got an ounce of fake on them. Bravo!
Hehehe, loved this. You guys are entertaining together.
One of the best this channel has done thus far. 2 real car guys doing talking real car stuff. Awesome.
I have a C5, there are a few videos featuring it on The Smoking Tire channel.
2 videos involving Chris Harris this week! Fantastic! I need to go to a pub with this man and learn the ways of the Harris
Good banter/ double act.
Possibly the best Drive video yet. Thank you Matt and Chris for being so immensely highly entertaining for gearheads.
Matt should be on TG also.
I love how he lets the S4 on air dirty and "well used". This vehicle is probably his super-SUV. And I respect that.
chris please clean that car and give it a wash and polish i wish i had 1 ....
Just love these videos made in some random place in the countryside, with great views, great car journalists, nice music... Simply great composition in any way! ;)
clean the DAMN AUDI
"I'm mini me." ha ha. Great piece guys- good to hear someone on the Net admit HP is not the only ingredient of fun motoring.
"Wagon s4"???? Prety sure you meant s4 avant😌
Avant means wagon lol
"Every vehicle has a unique experience to offer." Exactly. Finally someone gets it, it doesn't matter whether you have an old beat up 150 hp car or an 691hp Aventador, they all bring different experiences to the table and you will even find many traits that you like in normal cars that are absent in some supercars.
Chris please stop going thru automatic car washes. I almost died seeing those the swirls.
/Drive. This is the best piece you have gifted us yet. When I first saw the /Drive promo, a couple of years ago, this was what I was hoping and waiting for. MORE of Chris and Matt. More of these stories and silliness. And oh yeah, cars. lots of cars. -Love, a loyal fan.
looks like somebody put a hit on Bigfoot and used Chris' car to 'take him further into the woods' to bury 'em............
I laughed...
Just my two Canadian cents, or one British pence. I very much enjoyed the juxtaposition of both Chris and Matts styles. There seemed to be a camaraderie or even a chemistry which I found as entertaining as the cars.
Nicely done, thanks for the tape and let's see more of these two together please!
Seriously fucking disgusting letting the S4 get that. Should be ashamed.
I dont know about your olfactory perception, but I would say that getting rid of a nasty smell from your car is priceless. One winter somebody fucked up and spilled half a milk jug in my car. At first the smell was liveable, but once spring began to set in, the higher temperatures turned that milk into cheese, of the french, mouldy variety. You could smell it from outside the car.
3 days, the interior stripped down to the bare shell, knuckles shredded from washing the carpet. Totally worth it!
I've got the S4 Avant Black Edition and it's amazing power for an estate car/wagon - licence loser if not careful
Hehe... typical Rolex bling bling boy. Lost in space and no clue. I lost my licens in a beetle from 60s!
Don’t listen to the other guy- I love a ceramic GMT-Master!
My favorite car video, I bought a B8 A4 in red because of this, perfect.

Bloody lovely cars aren't they! 😊
I say dump the ginger and replace him with Matt, he's got a ton more character.
Not a bad idea considering Top Gear US is now dead. Two Americans (with Leblanc) on the show plus Chris and Rory would make for a great fresh combo - exactly what the show needs.
Great video guys. Its great to see some of the little outtakes at the end. U guys really do it better than any other inet videos.
That Cayman has less power than a Golf R, which will out-accelerate it by a whole second. That's just wrong.
I agree, but would take the luxury of the Porsche and the sound of its flat 6 anyday.
MagicAyrtonforever I understand and agree with the sentiment, but as a father of two and owner of two dogs, the R will have to do... ;) Also, it will be embarrassing when you get left in the dust at the traffic light by a corny old Golf!

It used to be my mom's, then it was mine, then it was my dad's, and now it's his. It's got 135,000 miles on it; it hadn't been cleaned inside or out in about 10,000 miles. We keep our cars tidy, but it had started getting unclean.
Six good hours of cleaning and a Shop-Vac would do wonders for that car.
Reallly great video, they should do more videos together in the UK and explore really good questions like they did in this video.
