[s-cars] Don't be so hasty...

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Tom,
I'm done with Audi's for now.  The 1.8T's a great
motor, but I'm really after something less refined and
more raw.  I have plenty of friends with B5 and B6
1.8T's and B5 S4's and there's a lot that you can do
to them, but there's something to be said for a highly
modifiable 300HP, Brembo front and rear, short
wheelbase out of the box rally car.

I know, it's ricey, but I wouldn't have to touch the
engine or chassis...or would I?  ;-)
