Just plain obscene.

If you can afford it... GO FOR IT. That car is just insane. But you've got to remember that Audis cost more in every aspect than Hondas.

Well the insurance should not be that bad. The car is a 4-door and is all wheel drive. Plus it's not marketed for younger buyers, so insurance should not be that bad. I love the S4. Lots of power.

audi S4

They are great, but really I had a VW and the cost for parts on those thing is hardstopping. Some dumba$$ (quick lube mechanic)about 2 years ago hyperextended the piston on the caliper for this bug I was gonna take over for a friend, which thank God I did not, cost me $500 to replace and then do all the pads for the car anyhow. I will never own a VW again, and I should of beat that mech for ignorance and done it myself, live and learn-

go for it. insurance shouldnt be that bad in VT. if you were in NJ or NY or CA that would suck, but i think VT is not so bad. either way, go for it.

are you paying for the car also, or is your dad?

Thanks Osoboosted!
They both mean 2, but not of same size. And Bi, I think means that 1 turbo is used for low end, and at wider throttle, the other turbo kicks in. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Same thing europeans just like to call it bi-turbo's. TT and Bi turbo are the same. Yo kid why are you actually thinking about this? If money is not a factor do it right away and swap those k03 for some k04 with a lil mods and be like my friend with 400hp.

Bi-turbo V6. Each tubro is fed gases from three cylinders. Just like a twin turbo V8(they get gases from 4). Sequencial TT turbos is where a smaller turbo feeds a bigger one. You can do anything you want pretty much. Anyone seen a sequencial tri-turbo(were two small ones feed a huge turbo)? I have not, just wondering if someone tried it out. If you calculated the thermal effiency, the numbers would not be that much better than a TT. Interesting project for a Thermodynamics class.

Those things gain power sooo easily, like oso said. I was talking to a guy by me that goes to the Audi institude by me. He said that once those cars come over, they are detuned to pass emissions and such, all you need is a chip to almost double the hp he said. And it is a safe upgrade considering that was the type of power the enging and all of the components were designed for. He also said their class was working on an S4 that got up to 700+ hp the sad thing is that the vin number's last 3 letters are ZZZ, which in car manufacturers terms means the car was never technically made. So after they learn on this 700 hp monster, it is taken away and disposed of! Bad *** car is all I have to say...
