I figured you Audi lovers would enjoy this...

My friend came by my house last night for a little social gathering and had few too many. Well his wife called him around 3 am wondering where he was so I, being one of the only sober people in the house, decided to give him a ride home in his ~500 hp s4. Needless to say it was a fun ride home with him yelling at me and calling me a pussy for "not giving it all she's got." haha

All i have to say is wow . Fun car and I'm not a huge Audi/VW fan at all.

Heres a vid of the car in question:

I miss my B5 A4, and would love to pick up a B5 S4 someday when I have expendable cash.

I think the looks are very plain but so clean and classy.

That tach didn't move like a 500 hp s4. And while I love killswitch I'd much rather hear the car in the video.

The video is kinda old, towards the end you can hear the intercooler blow. It was due to a faulty wastegate i believe so he had to rebuild quite a bit of stuff after that. In the vid it was running like 17psi its up to 26psi now i believe.

i like the car... hate how 90% of guys with fixed up german cars put german front plates on them, when virtually none of them have ever stepped foot out of the united states.

My friend has a similar B5 S4, and that thing is insane. 120k miles and still problem-free too, but he does all of his own maintenance.

I love our B5 A4, I haven't started modding it yet but 130k without issues so far. I am sure once I start throwing mods at it the car will throw something up. LOL I am waiting for the turbo to die completely so I can upgrade it and work from there. Mine is silver as well, great lines on B5's.

Same reason why civic owners put JDM y0! license plates on their civics.

i was thinking the same thing... all i could think was that the speedo / tach on the G8 moves a hell of alot faster than that thing did...

I would race that car in my GTO anytime.

ok, not mine, but I'd race it in my stock one. I think 500 crank hp claim is a slight embellishment.

Well to be fair, the right music/volume can complement just about any video. Here's an old example from my sig:

They aren't really, the only main issues is the small K03 turbos going out which most swap for K04/GT28RS anyway. Other than that if you keep up the maint they are pretty solid.

hmm, different story than I hear from a lot of the owners. Apparently the 2001.5 year model is great as they fixed most of the issues, but shit still breaks, and it's still expensive. Then again this is the internet, so you only hear the bad...

I think the main thing is that majoirty of people who own them have the dealer do 99% of the work, so yea it is going to cost a fucking ton repair. The biggest deal is that you have to remove the bumper, grill, and core support to change the timing belt and turbos so the dealer rapes you on labor. The job is really not all that hard, and once you swap the turbos just change the belt around 80K and you are good.

I am not saying they are the most reliable car in the world, but with the right maint they are pretty solid.
