^ also always a factor. but it's an vw/audi, and they just hold up better than most other cars while modded.
there are comps out there for less money, more mileage, but stock.
idk its either i get an s4 and put more money into it to make it what i want, or put another 5k into my car to have ~400whp on a fwd car. It spins through 2nd gear with stage 2! So i'm kind of at a loss.
I'm gonna go check it out though just cause i've never been in one. maybe i'll hate it. lol
The s4 is the superior platform. Real Quattro is really really fucking good.
I think anything past 300whp on the gti is crazy if you plan on tracking. I’d say stage two on the stock turbo is almost the limit. So what’s that, like 320-340?
with the s4, 450whp isn’t difficult or expensive at all. It won’t track well, the s4’s suspension just ain’t all that in stock form. But it will be compliant with good tires dude. In a straight line however, boost is fucking instant. And the boost is water cooled via laminova cores. The gti has a shit air to air set up
the s4 has real potential to be an all out monster.
edit: positive displacement super chargers > turbo’s
