I'd have to agree. I've been thinking about getting a pre-owned RS4 or S4 for my next car.

The reason that I am trading in the Audi is simple.. Upkeep is a friggin bi%c& on those things. Every month some little sensor goes, or the throttle body boot cracks, or one of the diverter valves goes bad...etc etc. It is like 1000-3000 every time I bring it into the shop. ( Not to mention all the tickets I get in this thing.. haha ). It is an awesome car though.. I'ma miss it.

The 710's are on the car now.. one of them is going bad. The samco is on the car as well, just came out of the shop actually.. The car would definately be a monster with even k04 turbos, but the thing is, there is alot more to it then just the snails, and all of it costs mucho $$$.. I could easily 2jzgte the GS, and still be at a little less than doing the gt28 project on the S4. And the reliability of the GS would FAR surpass that of the Audi.

Don't get me wrong, I love the car to death. it is extremely fun to drive, and with just the mods that I have on it, I hold my own on the streets. But the maintenance is killing me. I have 2 friends that own S4's of the same year, and theirs are in the shop more than out. One is k04'd and the other is k04/k16 hybrid.
