So every STG III has just to much money to spend? I'm not a car enthusiast due me driving a TIP? My TIP will spank anything you own, or can borrow on the track.

Yes, I take a little offense to this. A S4 TIP is not a lesser Audi, in fact they run faster 0-60 & 0-100 with STG III, generally are geared better then the 6sp for all out speed.

 

^While I agree with you about ragging on someone just because their car is an auto I ask myself if you know how to drive stick...because if you were to sit in a 6spd S4 and me in my GFs 5spd tiburon who would win?

 

Come on, that's not what I was talking about. It was S4 6sp VS S4 TIP. If I find a Tiburon that is faster then my S4, I'll sell my S4.

 

Im not talking about the car, Im talking about the driver...nothing personal. Im just wondering...

 

Yes, I can drive a stick, my track car is a 05 Lancer Evo, my old track car was a 1991 BMW M3. I have a couple of region Auto-X titles in my old 95 Mitia, & RX7. I am also a local instructor. My S4 would have a 6sp, but this one came along, & was to good of a deal to pass up.

My M3 had a Dog-leg euro close ratio trans, with a 4-puck LTW clutch pack, you really need to be on the ball driving that car.

The EVO, witch is one of the stock clutches & gear boxes out there it's so easy to Heal/toe.

 

It's never a good deal if theres an Auto in it, you should automatically filter out all cars who have are Auto especially if your cars meant for "speed"

Any tip, stage 3 or not is a gigantic waste to me, my dad had a G35 Infiniti (tip) and it disgusted me, who buys a G35 in auto? seriously... Now my dad is a car enthusiast but hes also a lot older, and he just purchased a 350hp Mustang in stick, so he has my respect back!.. but man that G35 was a dumb/pointless buy.

There is no excuse to not have a stick, it brings you closer to your car, its more fun, you can do more things and you have all around more control... plus it isn't girly

But thats my opinion, I know a lot of other people strongly support that and others don't, but at least you know stick. Thats 10x better than someone who avoids stick cause they think its to "hard" or because they want to put "make-up" on while driving... give me a break. Any good stick driver can text while driving on regular roads and shifting... just gotta be pro

But for real, there is no cons to Stickshift that you can justify enough to buy a Auto car, especially a high HP auto. gtfo!!!!

 

Good stuff.

 

2k 4 that is an awesome m3, bmw's were my first love. I agree with both of you all, there is nothing wrong with driving tip and there is nothing wrong with driving stick they both have their pros and cons and it is mostly personal preference. And if it was a good deal then why would you pass it up???

 

who cares if its an auto it was still ridiculous fast. also it wasent 380 he was still running ko3s but kept blew them twice before he said screw it switched it to k04s its still got the old programming, and hes still got the stock exhaust so that dosent really help. but still ill take an auto audi S4 over my 96 A4. im considering getting a 99.5 A4 with tip as long as i get the paddle shifters. not the greatest but i kinda miss not having to work the clutch when people dont know how to move.

 

I thought he was running rs4 turbos.. now im confused?
