I'd say VR4 because the A4 is so close to your car.

Default ya....but the VR4 is so tempting and easy to mod...save the money for the S and buy the B5 or .....

choose another car IMHO

Default The VR4 is what I want and am seriously looking into...

I was just thinking... 2 TT cars could get me into lots and lots of trouble, more than I get into already. :-\ Looking for a voice of reason perhaps...

Default Your probably right, the VR4 will get you into alot of trouble.

B5 A4 would make more sense, just chip it.

Default i had a vr4 before my s and i loved it. they are not expensive to repair...

and if you have the factory repair manual they are very easy to fix yourself. you can get a lot of HP out of them for little money

Default Two of my best freinds had VR4 and I had non-turbo...

Those cars are not that bad. A clean >95 vr4 or Stealth TT goes for $10-15k, still less than A4.
Newer models are more reliable (less problems with transfer case and no more weak 5 spd trany), but not as bulletproof as MKIV Supra. Basically if you like to work on your cars, yes go ahead. If your goal is reliability, you need A4
BTW, BPU VR4 will run high 12's in 1/4 mile
