totally, not to mention better gas mileage

 

I valet part time at country clubs and I have tried the padel shifting... was kind of fun, but i still feel one hand ons teering wheel and one on the shifter seems more natural

its just wierd to always have your arms at 10- and 2-





boosting V8 is like older RS6.... i wuoldnt mind the 450hp

 

i am in love

 

They should just quit beating around the bush and throw the twin turbo V8 RS6 motor in and call it a day.

 

i guess none of you have ever driven a paddle shift ferrari........ those things are soooooo much fun


i am not a big fan of an "auto/tip" car, but i would but a paddle shift version of those........ but not a paddle shift tip car...... like they make now


the ferrari has two gears.... forward and reverse....... you put the little **** in d and paddle shift from there or r and go backwards

 

I have to differ. I would rather see Audi loose 400-500 kg off the S4 and use a naturally aspirated engine with a high red line. Is there any good reason an A4 or S4 needs to weigh in at what it does when my old Audi 90 with a five banger weighs a touch less than a Mini while having a lot more interior room than any A4/S4? I think the Germans have it all wrong today. They pack way too much crap into their cars, then need excessively complex turbo motors to lug all that excess weight around, generating the expected heat and lubrication issues no gasoline turbo engine has yet to escape, and forcing the driver to compensate for turbo lag and run on. Enough! Build a light car that doesn't need a turbo, one that revs like a Honda S2000 and makes right now power. Forget all this turbo crapola and excess computer gizmos these cars lug around. My 90 weighs in around 1350 kgs, and if I were to swap the iron block five for the aluminum block 4.2 liter V-8 from an A8 ( and this is the future of my car, 2Bennett Audimotive does this swap ) it will actually loose another 35kg. How about that, a car that seats four in leather lined comfort with a real back seat, weighs less than a Mini with a 310 horse naturally aspirated V-8? You can keep your turbo crap.

 

well the new s4 is actually getting a new supercharged 3.0L direct injection V6 unit instead of the turbo. at least that whats the articles online have been saying

yeah bringing up old thread but yeah its going to be a 3.ol supercharged for anyone who hasn't been keeping up with the joneses.

 

I read today that it's a 3.2L supercharged V6 rated at 333hp. Should be good for some fun for you lucky bastards who buy one

 

I want to know how long it will take for someone to throw in a pari of turbos.
