new AUDI
Alright, guys, I just joined this forum because i'm selling my POS grand prix and getting an A4. I need some advice on which one is the best for the money. I am asking you this because I know your guys know way more about the car than I could. I know I'm going to get the quattro stick shift, but am debating about what year to get. I am planning on getting coilovers, racing tires, rims, snow tires (for going up to the mountains), a chip, and probably other things. Your help is very much appreciated, since i'm going to buy my car based on some of the things you say. I am thinking between year 2000 and 2003, and am willing to spend about $20 - $25 grand. What car has the best turbo, best handling (racing wise), biggest power/weight ratio, best for snow conditions, etc. Thanks again.

Then again the 2002-2003 are a different chasis on both the a4 and s4 (i dont even know if they have 2002-2003 s4's?) so it really depends on your taste

RE: new AUDI
i've heard that its a minimum of 4grand to fix a S4, so i'm leaning toward a 1.8T. my brother said the newer versions have a bigger turbo, what is the new version, 2002-present? What do you guys know about the newer 1.8t?

RE: new AUDI
The Newer ones are heavier then the B5s (96-01) so i wouls say the older version would be quicker, and you can get a big turbo for it like GT28rs?? (i think thats what TomR has).. but i would go with a S4 in the end.. im just saying that becaus ei love them and probably getting one for graduation...... but i think a 1.8t you would have alot more to spend on it, so you could get a bigger turbo exauhst ect.. but i would say go with a B5.
