[s-cars] "The Aluminum Crowd" / Current UrS prices

[Pasqualoni, James E]

I meant a 2.2l I5 S-car Silly.  But I respectfully disagree.  I had a B6
S4 Avant and felt that it was extremely 'fling able'.  No, I wouldn't
want to have to work on the motor, but I felt it communicated its
handling limits very clearly, and I also could get the rear to step out
anytime sans ESP.  I miss that car....

	If you can keep the boost threshold reasonable, the 4 cylinder
offers better weight distribution than the V-8 and it's a lot easier to
work on the car with the 4 cylinder.
	
	I don't know how well they do with aftermarket suspension, but
the B6 and B7 S4s are really piggy- very ponderous going into turns, you
really feel like you have to make the car work and it's a lot of weight
to move around- they drive like a much larger car than they are. The
2.0T feels much better in the corners.
	
	360whp in an A4 would be a blast, though.

		Then why not just get an S car if that's the plan???

			I thought we were talking about 440+ whp UrS
type ridiculous power! You'll need the increased displacement to do
that.
			
			I know Rod's car was 2.0L and hitting 11s at
Englishtown. Maybe below that.

				Not even.  I've ridden in a Dahlback 360
hp 1.8t conversion car.  No internals need be modified.  Nutty, violent
fast.  Not unlike an RS2's URS above 3k rpm.  This hits faster!

				Punch the motor out to 2.0 or 2.1L,
install larger turbo, injectors, FMIC, etc. Rod Haney was doing fine
with
				his, saw his car at Waterfest a couple
times.

				Yep... cheap thrills.  I bought mine
from a fellow CO Audi geek... a well maintained sport equipped A4 1.8tq.
I threw on a Koni coilover kit and some 18x8's.  It already was chipped.
It isn't boring in the power department, but after numerous years with
the pumped up UrS as the daily driver, it leaves you wanting more.
