meh, still doesn't look that great to me...probably would stick to a C series if i was to get a Merc

 

[NathanDetroit]

I love the engine. But for 60K I have to love everything...and the CLA body is, for lack of a better word, weird.

This.

It's much better looking as a hatch.

Pretty fucking similar numbers and the S4 sees MASSIVE gains with a tune/pulley. Who knows what the CLA will do, but I bet they end up pretty close with the S4 being slightly slower stock and slightly faster tuned.

 

[Gunkata]

any other mags hit 4.4? most I've seen were 4.5-4.7...

4.2.. still faster.

In the 12's for the 1/4 mile.. still... faster.

And yet it ran the same time in the figure 8 despite being nearly 400 lbs lighter with more power, because shitty handling FWD car.

If you just want a $60k drag racer with a small back seat, buy a GT500.

 

[Gunkata]

I'd buy a Corvette, honestly.

I'd buy a used GT-R and go stage 2 and be done....

[Bozz]

HOLY SHIT.

Look at the vents tho...

I'm sure Audi will answer in due time. Speaking of Audi, saw my first RS5 in the wild today. I was surprised at how quiet it was.

 

[D Griff]

I'd probably get a $30k C6 and a ton of H&B.

Or for 35k you can get the exact same looking car that is far superior in mpg and for commuting and have almost 30k for a dedicated track car.
