S4 Alternative?

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

Uhh, Steve,
	Maybe this was a type but the 2.8 DOES come in a 5-speed.  I've
driven 2 of them.  One a 2.8 12v  and the other a 99' 2.8 (30v of course
:-)  with Sport Package and a 5-speed.  So the dealer is right, they will
be coming with a manual, they already do!  But you probably already knoew
this, just making sure.  In your message ti sounded like you were saying
they dont come that way but wil soon.  (At least thats the way I read it.

Perhaps to those who feel that any amount of turbo lag is unacceptable,
you
can consider the PES supercharger kit on an A4/2.8.  I just saw one on a
new
A4 this morning (a co-worker's car), and overall it looks like a pretty
well
thought through installation.  I haven't had a chance to have a ride in
the
car yet, but 280HP in an A4 has got to be a lot of fun!  

When I was at a dealer recently they told me that the A4 was going to be
available with the 2.8 and a manual transmission ... sounds like a
reasonable base for a quasi-S4 ...
