it would be cheaper and more reliable to sell your A4 and buy a B5 S4.

Default S4 engine in a B6 would be the best of both worlds, imo...
Take away the cost and reliability issues and it would be a sweet combo. BTW, if you're going to go through the trouble, might as well make it an RS4 engine. :&gt

if you ignore the cost, then why not just go for the B6 S4?

Default True, true, but something about having a one-of-a-kind B6 w/ RS4 engine would be sweet...
If I had a blank check to play with (within reason), I think I'd really want something unique. Not to mention that a stock RS4 engine puts out more power than the B6 S4.

Like I said, it's a fun dream car. I know it isn't practical, but it would definitely be a show stopper... :&gt
