keep the quattro...thats why Pobst and Galati always win....At the start of the races they jump to the outside and pass everyone on the grass....its a beautiful thing to watch...
I think I'm going to have to search for some video's now that you mentioned that, would like to see it. LOL

my 2cents ???

here it goes ...
do what i did
buy a write off ( copart.com ) just like i did and then work your way up.
i gotten my 01 S4 for $3500 and will cost me about $500 to pull the frame.
so the car retails between 16ooo-25ooo $Can here in Ontario.
so really i saved me the headache and still have 16ooo in the bank to play with.
So I already called AWE and getting the shopping list out and trying to get everything at once so i can get discount for a large purchse and save some $$$ on shipping.
So far from AWE: SMIC, Turbo Manifolds, Downpipes, Twin 1 Exahust, Snub Mount, RS4 Hydraulic Motor Mounts, DTS, Stage 3+ Clutch kit with lightweight flywheel.
a 3.0L is in the work as of next week with ALL FORGED internals and now trying to hunt down a set of RS4 heads from europe ( Uncle lives outside Munich ) along with some other goodies

Also will go with 034 Motorsports Stage IIC EMS unit with dual Wideband inputs

EDIT:
i Have a complete RS4 kit comming from LLTEK

The frame will never be true... If you're planning on RACING the car, it may not be the best idea to build it from a totalled car.

i'm in luck though
the guys that helped me buy it have a A4 that was hit really really hard in the back ( bought it for parts )
and were going to graft new a horn onto my S4.

Okay, for the records:
It's an A6.. it would be used for weekend road-track days, I absolutly abhore drag strips.
I am a fairly balanced driver, I only inquire about the auto/standard thing because of the tiptronic shifting.
AWD or RWD is just because I see a lot of porsche trannies for sale..
TRACK CAR, not drag car
I f-in HATE DRAG RACING!
anyone else confused???????
