enenen....I was in the EXACT same situation back in July. I was looking at a 2001 or 2002 S4 or 02-04 A4, but a 3.0 and not a 1.8T. I just realized I wanted something really fun to drive, but wanted the best reliability as possible. That's why I went with the NA 3.0. I like both bodystyles. Yes the S4 is faster..my buddy has a '01.5 S4..we haven't raced yet, but we probably will just to see how much diff. there is. We agree mine handles A LITTLE bit better, but mainly cuz of the wider tires. I didn't know the frame was 35% stiffer..that's cool.
How old are you? If you're like 18 or 20, the Talon makes sense, then when you hit mid 20's go with a little more luxury/fast car like the 1.8T or 2.8Bi Turbo S4....good luck!

Yeah im only 16..... I went with the audi. For some reason I love the german cars, there is something about them that just doesn't look cheap, and there styling lasts. I skipped over the spirited cars, and im glad I did, the first day I went to school with my 98 a4 everyone was lovin it.

Only newbzors would pay 500 bucks for the injectors... 
Haha, well, I am sure many do... but still, you can pick up injectors for 200~ + 500 for the software... so my 750 wasn't far from the mark. I really never thought the injectors would ever be 500 bucks though... That's nuts! ecstuning sells many injectors for around 250... or the TT injectors for 399... so I figure, no matter how you slice it... apr is on crack, as per usual.

B5 S4 has 250 hp... Get a b6 A4, and go APR Stage 1 + and you're at 235 hp and 275 lbs of torque... For like 750 bucks. Mind you a chipped B5 S4 would walk all over that... with 318 hp and 382 lbs of torque... but still, the b6 a4 would be a lot of fun. And b6's are much nicer to drive.
Plus, the GTRS kit with Revo software for the B6's kicks the ***!
