im thinking to get an s4 but not sure which one to get yea wit the turbos u can do alot but what bout the v8 moster, which do u guys recomend

 

if you want a reliable car with enough power to make you happy, v8

if you have some ***** and money to spend, biturbo

 

well actually, if you have more money to spend you can get the v8 and get the new kit that came out...it costs one arm + two legs.

but you can easily be up in that power range with stage 2+ which will only run you about 3-4 grand, depending on how wisely you spend.

also the v8 has a little bit sexier interior. but i still think my b5 s4 is gorgeous.

 

Really... who came out with this Kit??? I'm thinking about getting a B7 around the Feb/March time frame... I wonder if this is supposed to put things in closer check to the RS4. Does anyone know what the actual differences are between the two 4.2 litres? In simply doing a bunch of reading, I'm seem some people *claim* some pretty big gains (on the dyno) with just a full exhaust on the v8s... if I'm leaning pretty heavy towards this car (I also think the interior is pretty slick... no to mention the outside as well - like the trunk lights etc...) is there a specific site I could check out with a little more in depth info?

As always, thanks for the input!

Justin,

The 4.2 L is a great motor. But as of now the 2.7T is just easier to mod more power per dollar and there are more mods out there. If you were going to get a new RS4 then I would say that is most likely better than a 2.7 if you look in my sig you will see a race between my car and a fully built B7 S4...There is a lot on the table with the 4.2l I am able to keep a head of a stage 2 B5 S4

I don't know if this helped or makes it more confusing

 

I think the big difference is the upfront cost. Do you want a little or big car payment?
For me I didn't want a car payment, and I wanted a turbo, so that stuck me with the B5

The B6 looks nice, has a nicer interior, and is a little bigger. Chances are it will still have a warranty.

The B5 is a HP monster, a little more subtle looking, and cost much less HP to $$.

In the end it's your choice, go & drive both & get what ever one you like better.

b6/b7 s4 s/c.

You can go with MTM or ABT...pretty much the same s/c kit.

 

those supercharger kits are expensive as hell though from the prices I've seen (15,000 or so??). And I can't imagine the damage it would do to the con-rod bearingswhat with it having such a high CR. Brutal.

 

I thought the MTM kit was $25,000?
There was one up here, it's a really nice kit, but the car only did 14sec 1/4 times. Not all that impressive, but he did say the traction was left on, and that he didn't launch it.

 

That MTM kit should be putting him into late 12's inanything. A stock B6 should domid 13's,along without the launch he was probably short shifting, too.

And yeah, 25,000 I think is right....
