Why are 200q20v's worthless?

[CL Wong]

Going by my experience with my long gone A4, the packaging density is a concern.  I'm not too crazy about removing all kinds of stuff to get at what I want to fix.  The other factor is parts cost, aren't the high end S8 parts more than the normal Audi stuff?

As far as building a Cobra goes.... I have no idea what is involved with building one other than there are folks with less DIY experience than me building them at ffcobra.com... it's likely more a case of the devil you *think* you know vs the one you don't.  I think a cobra gets better gas mileage than an S8.... but that's kinda besides the point.
