Is that a true s4? Any who I think the car is still great. I sat in my friends 2001 s4 and its real nice. I love the pull and much of its features are still a lot better then the tC. However it handles like a bus, I will take a picture of my friends s4 with bbs rims and H&R coils. If you want, he also has a lip kit that he never installed because of time and the fact that his ride is super low.

My roomate has a S4 and it handles great. I've added a bunch of suspension parts to my tC and it still doesn't handle as well as my roomates S4.

BTW, congrats on the car, looks good!

Haha, are you really questioning if it's an S4?! He put on a different grille, that's why there's no S4 badge upfront. You guys are scarin me about the turbos going! haha

lots of audi's handle like buses because the engines are mounted further forward to make more leg room in the passenger cabin, so having the engine mounted ahead of the front wheels is a recipe for serious understeer.

just a warning, when you near 90k and 100k, expect to fork out a good amount of money to keep it running, and thats why i dont like to really buy modded cars used, cause u know the guy before u beat on it, which this guy looks like he would have
