[s-cars] S4 or A4, what would you do?

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Interesting on the weight.  I wonder where the 2001 got fat compared to the 2000?  Does make the 2000 seem more attractive.  I know the 2001 is a "drive by wire."  Is the 2000 DBW as well?  That is one quality I've never liked.  The DBW feel is... strange.
 
2.0 with a GT30R?  Not this cowboy  ;)

I have driven numerous 2.7 S4s in various Stage 3, 3+,4 and 5 configurations. They are Gonzo with instant torque and no end to boost. A full 2.0 build w/tubular mani and GT30 turbo would cost less than half of a full 2.7 build. The weights of these cars is surprising.

1998 A4 1.8t- 3241 lbs
2000 S4 2.7t- 3384 lbs
2001 S4 2.7t- 3593 lbs

If you do go 2.7, I would definately go with a 2000. With your abilities and facilities, pulling an engine to get to the turbos won't pose too much of an issue other than your time.
