nice i like the 3.0 reference, its true i really wnat big Power but id rather buy a condo and make my car real nice looking, all i want are the b**ches to be ohh that **** is hot and drop the panties i dont care how fast i can hit 60 from a dig.
I have the 1.8t, but thats pretty much how I feel about my car. I just want something fun, quick, and real nice looking. Maybe I'll do some mods to get more power, but speed isn't the most important thing to me. No matter what you do to your audi, theres always going to be a car thats faster, and the same goes for just about any car....I can't stand the conversations of "well my car can beat yours".

my buddy just got a 97 2.8 stock with 120kish miles, i have a 01 1.8t stock (except kn air filter) with 75k. hes been talking crrraaaaaazy smack to me that when he gets home im in trouble..... am i?
your probably gonna get beat... a stock 1.8t runs a 16.5 and a stock 12v runs a 16.0, so if your a better driver than you can beat him but if not than idk what to say, just dont put any money on the line lol.

So, why would anyone want a 2.8? I mean, is there any reason at all?

Yea why would anyone want a 2.8? What idiot just wants a reliable daily driver. Who wants real leather and a power seat? What kind of idiot would not want to worry about his turbo or finding a boost leak.

because a 30v 2.8 runs a 15.1 stock, a chipped/exhaust/dv 1.8 will run a 15.1 as well and have not nearly as much ***** as the 2.8 past 3rd gear..

the 2.8 has chrome window trim, real leather, power seats, stronger tranny, real woodgrain that cant be beat by any other woodgrain, most have the bose sound system which a lot of 1.8's dont come with...

the 2.8 was and still is audis more expensive/luxurious version of the a4.... the 1.8 is more of the "diet coke" but if you plan on spending extensive money on mods than its worth it i guess..

k, i can put this to rest with recent research. i have a 2000 1.8t manual, my buddy has a 1998 2.8 auto.

from a stop: i was up by 2 or 3 car lengths the entire way, until we got to about a buck 10, 115 maybe, then he got even with me and would have passed me if the straight didnt end.

So what youre trying to say is, you still wish you had bought a 1.8t instead....?
Oh and here is some nice closure for the subject, the "nuff said" of the debate if you will : http://www.tappauto.com/images/picsv...0whpA4dyno.wmv
