My Mista2 2 is in the UK... I moved to US, and it just wasn't worth bringing it to the US. Man, I loved that car. The turbo's were never officially imported to the UK, so not too many people really knew they were about. A bit of a q-car. I had it timed at 0-60 in 4.9, and it topped out at 169 on a private road with gps... It was seriously rapid! The torque of the 3s-gte is unreal! Shame you don't have the Jap spec engine in US mr2's or I would have got one of those! I got the A4 Q due to the arctic conditions in the winter!

What a monster! 1.25 bar, on HKS boost controller, W.I., HKS induction, RS exhaust, Blitz decat, Sprint Hart wheels, Bride Bucket seat, HKS suspension, Blitz DV, and bunch of other stuff!

 

i really do like those cars, never had a chance to drive one, but ive heard the stories. was it as tough to drive as it was hyped up to be? any throttle or braking between turns gets you wrapped around a tree, thanks to the mid-engine rwd design. thats too bad you had to give it up, oh well you adopted an acceptable car.

 

Like any car, you need to get used to how to drive it. Its like going from fwd, to rwd, to awd. There is a knack to driving it, but in the dry, you can go round corners as fast as any other car, as long as you are smooth. lift off, or brake, and it will definatley get twitchy, but you really have to be a freak if you wrap it round a tree. It really is a great handling car!

The 20 foot of snow up here in NY left me with little choice as to what car to get. Had to be awd, and as audi's look the best, and have nice interior, and drive well, that was for me!
