Hi, all (B5 VS B6)
Hi all, new to this forum. I am in the market 4 a S4 but my delima is knowing what i need to get. i know i want an s4 but i was looking at the advantages of the 2nd generation over the 3rd gen (B5).its like 2.7 V6 vs 4.2 v8
. The car is definately going to be modded when i get it and i have seen some very impressive videos and time slips of the modded 2.7 v6 running low 12s in the 0.25 mile IMPRESSIVE, so i am begining to wonder if itz ok to settle for the 2nd gen and the benefits i might be giving up .
gas milegae, room space etc
whatz the weight diffrence in the 2 car gens and does it upset the added hp in the 4.2 V8 B6.
I know u guys hv the answers, so letz hear it.[&o]

B6 nicer interior, newer, stiffer chassis.
B5, fast, better exterior (IMHO), much more mod friendly.
B6 will be cheaper to maintain, but sucks on gas. I can get almost 30mpg on the FW with my B5.

If you plan on modding: B5
Keep it stock: B6
The B6 has a bigger top end but the B5 has a quicker acceleration because of the different engines. I'd get a B5 [8D]since you'll get a lot better mileage and they're a lot easier to mod but remember to keep some spare cash laying around in case something blows up!

RE: Hi, all (B5 VS B6)
What do u mean blow up,[8D].
I know that is almost expected when running bbbbooossssttttt.
The how strong are the block wall on this things. B5.
when doing a stage 3 or 4 do u guys modify the engine internals or u use the stock engine block, i am just trying to get an idea of how strong the internal are and ho much PSI the wall, sleeves, rings, pistons etc could take before a trip to the emergency clinic $$$$$
what other engines come with the B5, u said above that they come wih different engines , i thought they all came with the 2.7 TT v6>. So if they come with different engines which ones shud i be trying to get based on what i want to do ??
- Thanks in advance

There is only one engine, he was talking about the V6 on the B5 VS the V8 on the B6.
