Decided to go with another one, the guy agreed to hold it for me, and if it does, and everything goes smoothly with the loan, its mine.
It's a black one on gold 18s with only 60K miles. Stage 2 tune, pushing 18 or 19lbs? 300whp.

If I go through with this maybe I should sell the Vette with the original motor and put the procharged 6.3 in a designated straight line drag car, like a 1st gen Camaro. Can you imagine if I could put that kind of power down? On the street?! Hahaha

I have a vision of pulling a wheelie at a stop light.

...I found out the STI gets only 16/22 mpg. I was looking at the WRX which is 18/24... 16 is pretty bad. I've been second guessing it.
Also, the 06+ A4 quattro turbo 4 gets 19/27. That might be the way to go. Also, also, found out I can get a Diesel V6 cherokee that makes about 350ft lbs and gets 17/24 mpg. Lifted it would still probably average 18, only problem is they are rare as shit. But so are the 06/07 A4 stick shift turbo 4 quattros.

PS, loan didn't go smoothly. Need to wait for my parents to finish getting their first for a cosign. Should be 30-40 days.

Love me some Audi. It's alittle different than an A4, but an RS6 is about the best looking executive Sedan going IMO. It's funny though, cuz it doesn't look that cool in pictures, but in person it's great.

I was considering a low mileage 2003 RS6 last year when I was car shopping. Very nice car and pretty powerful twin turbo v8.

Why not get something in the middle? An Audi B5 S4 runs a 2.7 liter twin turbo with torsen center diff awd (33/66 mechanical split) and a six speed. They make 250hp (~200-210whp) and can make upwards of 300whp with a tune. They're basically A4's with more upscale interior and a much better drivetrain. The motors are capable of over 500whp on the stock bottom end and the trans can take ~800whp (there's a company that has an 800whp S4 in the 9's with an untouched tranny)
They're about $2-5000 more than a comparable A4 and usually cheaper than even an STi. price range is ~$8000-13000
Only downside really is the stock K03 turbo's are prone to failure at around 100k miles (which is why there are so many for sale at this mileage). This wouldnt be that big of a deal as you can get replacement K04's for ~$1200 and easily make 400whp (youtube "stage 3 S4"). BUT to swap the turbo's you have to pull the motor >.<
They do sound nice tho.  |

Realistically, I only wanted the STI over a WRX for the stronger trans for towing. I don't care as much about the HP. The 300whp stage 2 STI that I drove felt as fast as my mom's stock SRT4 to me.
After Procharging the Vette, everything sub 400hp feels the same to me. Unless it's really slow like my Neon. Then I can tell a difference.
So I'd rather have the turbo 4 and the better gas mileage.
