[s-cars] V8 vs A8

[JC]

Fully agree there's nothing wrong with the mods, and in fact of course I'd
want to do some of that myself in a B5S4, it's just the flave you get from
the folks who do them and the previous owners vibe and I'm skeptical about
most of the cars I've looked at.  But to illustrate by contrast I wouldn't
blink at the thought of buying an RS2'd UrS from a lister here.  And if I
found a Stage I-II-III B5S4 with good history and a respectable owner I
could certainly consider it. Just seems that's a real rarity...
