The 850

I hope to own a 97-98 850 Csi one day in red... but wikipedia says there were only 1200 of those made in the whole USA, and thats not just reds CSI's in general.

My daily is a Jeep Cherokee (no pics needed).

My semi-daily is a yellow Evo8 (2.3L, 35R, E85 powered). fun little toy

My build is a 2jz FD, burnout widebody, its getting painted right now... i'll have more pics soon, i need to start a build thread here, but i'll probably get flamed for not being a rotor head.

Damn i love the B7 S4's. Was looking at them at one point til my friend told me to stay away from audi's out of warranty. I had an audi TT before for a couple of months and that was reliable so idk.

Looks good though.

Thanks. Its a battle to keep it stock, but the FD draining my bank account has helped. As far as reliability, can't really say, shes only got 15k miles on her, so far so good. I love the V8, its so much better than the new V6T in the B8's.

New S4 is no slouch, it's supercharged and does 12.9 in 1/4 mile off the showroom floor. I think the gas mileage in your FD is better than the s4. Im constantly surrounded by B6 and B7's. The twin turbo B5 was the best

Thats got to be one hell of a driver to get that pig to do a 12.9. Most everywhere I've seen is the same 13.2 - 13.4 as the B7. It's really a matter of opinion which one is better. I can say after driving both back to back you really need to flog the B8 to get the same feel as the B7. Most of it has to do with gearing, 1st gear is basically useless in the B7 which kills its 0-60. I tend to get 18-21 mpg with the S4. I agree the B5 was the most mod friendly and highest output S4. I won't harp on this anymore since this isn't an Audi fourm...

Hopefully soon I can comment on the FD's mileage... that is if I ever get it to run again.
