I hate rice and owning a German car scares the hell out of me.

The S4 is sweet, but the starting price is like $50k. For the same amount of money, you could build a Camaro that will absolutely embarrass the S4.
As far as the Golf, to make that thing run in the 11s, you need a tune, a high pressure fuel pump, and an exhaust system. That will run you about $3k on top of the $3k that the little 4 banger is more expensive. For that price difference, you start getting close to an FI system for the Camaro. Yet again, game over for the little 4 banger.
If the new Camaro, runs 12.3s off the factory line, a better set of tires will get you in the 11s.
