[s-cars] musings

Lee,
I gotta agree with Taka and Larry on this one.  If you want a good
track/autocross toy, there are no Audis that fit the bill.

In my personal experience, I spent 3 years flogging my UrS6 around
autocross courses before buying a dedicated track/auto-x toy (E30
325is) last summer.  The bimmer is fun, fun, fun.  You can easily build
a track-ready E30 for less than $7k ($3k for a decent car; $1.5k for
suspension, wheel, and tire upgrades; and $2.5k for repairs, sorting,
and other items like roll bar, harnesses, etc.).

Here's a minor correction to Taka's post:  a stock E30 is roughly
2750lbs, not 2400.

One more thing-- you mentioned a B5 S4.  In this price range
(mid-teens), you may want to consider an E36 M3.  Bone stock, they have
great handling, strong brakes, and reliable powertrain; and there are a
plethora of upgrades available to take it to the next level.
