Default since when does anyone expect to get what they invested out of their audi

Do you plan to get back every penny you spent on your car when you go to sell it?

didn't think so.

Again I built the motor and everything related to that.. I've got a few hundred hours into the car, not just the motor, helping with this and that.

Its a show car not a race car.. those guys spend insane amounts of money they never expect to get back.

there is a widebody twin turbo 350Z that was workd on at the shop of the A4 owner.. I helped some nites with the body work.. that car has over 150K invested.. and doesn't even get driven... probably good for only about 70k if it was sold.. and that includes the brand new trailer which as 10k

its a comletely different world.

Default fwd + "500" hp (or anything from 300hp up) = a waste imho

Default not to mention how ignorant you must be

The car is actualy daily driven perfectly fine for the last few years.. not making that power till about 6 months ago though.. but still daily driven at 300plus.

I've got a car that makes 300plus ft/lbs to the wheels.

If you can't handle it then all you have proven is that you can't actually drive.. not that its bad or dangerous.

I wasn't aware that you had to use 30psi of boost and rev to 7500 to go pick up milk.

Default Yeah, high HP 1.8s are very civil off boost. Even somewhat gutless.

And from what I've seen, the boost rampup is gradual enough that combined with quattro, it should be pretty controllable even when boost hits.

Of course adding nitrous could change that, but you don't have to always use nitrous.
