Default Keith Anderson's 3B >> RS2 engine'd urQ race car weighs about 2900lbs

And that thing is stripped out, caged, plexiglass, big brakes, worked over engine + Stromung & side pipe exhaust.

The only way to get rid of more weight would be to replace the sheet metal body panels with CF.

I've actually sat in that car

Why you gotta front mang? I didn't mean ton like 2000 lbs homey. I meant it like the trouble you in.

Default I think a S6L would have been badass. Perfect roadtrip car.

They make a V8L and a A8L...

Bumper? Foglights? Wheels? Headlight washers? Center mounted radiator?

And how is the B5 bay considered more compact, when it's the same 2.8L V6 in a larger bay?

Default THANKS, THANK YOU ALL (from thread creator)

thanks for the wonderful response. I was surprised to see so many comments. I think I understand...

The 93 s4 is a larger car and has a turbo while the 95 90q is smaller without a turbo. Seems to make sense!

Now, Should I sell my 90q and drive 120 miles to buy the s4 because it seemingly has .5 inches more of head room? I am 6'10" and it is dangerous having to open the moonroof to sit comfortably in my 90q.

In any case, thanks again for your help guys.
