Default Supercharger on 2.8, or soup up the 1.8T?

Currently I have a 98 black 2.8tQ, 58k and want to (it's automatic/ tip) get a 99 (sliver exterior, 5 speed quattro) or newer 1.8t or 2.8 to soup up over 300hp. I've driven the 2.8 with a supercharger and it's nice, very nice, but might consider the 1.8t... I also plan to do a bit of SCCA racing here in town now and then.

I'm expecting to get $11 for my 98.5 2.8 w/58K,
and buy a 99 for about the same price range or a bit more. I'd be interested in a trade if possible.

Has anybody seen any accident cars or mechanical damage cars go through here lately??

Default i think the 2.8SC would be better just based on the fact that they are less common than upgraded

turbos on the 1.8


just my 2cents, either way it will be fun

Default SCCA? get a miata! so much more fun than the A4

Don't get me wrong, I love my A4 and drive it like crazy, but put a stock miata on the track and it will rip up most cars, modified or not. Modify a miata and it will walk over anything.

Default He speaks the truth :)

A Miata with a track suspension, track brakes, and an additional 150hp via a big turbo is pretty damn fun, damn affordable, and damn reliable.

Cheers,
Sameer
