2.7T v 4.2 A6

[Tyson Varosyan]

Some Car magazine, I think Car&Driver did a comperason between the 2.7TT and
the V8 S4s. The conclution was that although "out of the box" the V8 was
faster in every category (0-60, 0-100, 1/4mi), with minor mods the V6TT
outdone the V8. With a few more mods totaling less than 10k it left the V8
in the dust... I love turbos, I love what can be done with them, I like
working on cars. I guess it depends on what you have in mind...

That being said, I will drive all versons and configurations of the S4 that
I can find before I get mine.

I have an S4 wagon.  I talked my good friend into a 4.2 with sports
suspension and seating.  This is the nicest all around car I've
driven to date.  The 2.7tt can be 'faster' in certain powerbands, but
for driving around town and the fwy, the A6 chassis and V8 set up is
great.  I've driven a number of similar (previous model) cars from
bmw (530, 540, M5), mbz (E430, E55), saab...this is the one IMHO.

NOTE: Find one with the sport seats for sure...  Only issue is MPG if
that's a big concern, the 20mpg+ of the 2.7tt becomes more
intriguing.  The V8 drinks in town...fwy is better...

I'm looking to replace my current 2.8 A6 with either a 2.7T or a 4.2.

Is there a good reason to go one way or the other?
