i just got 25mpg doin mostly highway and boosting a lot to pass slow people and the occasional ricer..word

 

You mean like forcing the CEO of GM to step down and refusing to give DC more money unless they merge with fiat

God i love watching american car companies crumble, to be honest we would have been better off forcing them into bankruptcy before helping them out

 

well said sir!

 

yes that is just what i mean.

 

Ahh, talking about American car companies is like talking about politics and religion now-a-days.

 

Oh and since I missed the entire last fiasco that went down in this thread earlier, I just gotta say that..once you go B5, you never go back. But I would have to say that the V8 does have appeal to it. Only thing that gets me, is maintainence wise for me: Valve cover gasket, control arm, wheel bearings, ICM, power steering pump, a few busted in windows. I'm gonna have to say that a lot of those problems Audi in general seems to have a common issue on (especially broken windows). Whenever the B6 gets up to around 120,xxx miles and 8 years old they'll be having issues of their own. Just my .02 cent

 

Sineo Does have a vaild question (albeit, I don't think I would ask it in the same way on what is basically a B5 S4 forum).

So let me just say there maybe isn't a cooler feeling than when the turbo kit engages, but I just don't have the risk tolerance for the F/I set up. In addition to my B6 S4 I have a 350Z, and I get knocked for not running F/I on it, but there is something really cool about the smoothness of an N/A engine.

I also think the smooth V8 in the B6 S4 just mixes so well with the overall luxury of the rest of the car.

 

what i like about turbo engines is the deceptive power.. its and unnatural surge in the back.. feels superhuman .. i love it..

 

I used to take plenty of crap for my B5 and I'm well aware of my B6's faults. But they are both worth defending. I tried to be inoffensive (if inflammatory) and I'm glad that it turned into (I think) kind of an interesting debate instead of something more colorful.

And believe me, I know where I'm posting . If my original question was, "What's so great about the B5 S4?"...well, where better to ask but here!

 

Ha true true. I just noticed that you've only had avants Sineo....lucky! I wish I could have the exact car I have now (the nogaro and blue sude), but in an avant.
