I'd buy it and race it into the ground. Well worth the $$$.

I'm sure you could think of better cars to race into the ground than an S4, even for that money. I see the S4 as one of the best all-around cars you can buy, but if I were buying something to race, it sure as shit wouldn't be an S4.

I didn't mean actually race, just drive around town like a maniac.

Might be worth it to have your own symphony orchestra following you around (that 4.2)

U might as well swap the 4.2 out of an old A8 into a B5. Damn near the same thing for less overall headaches (not even kidding)

But then u are still left with a little Corolla size car with Rikishi hanging off the front bumper. For the same weight/$$$ you could have a 540i

Haha yea swapping a 4.2 into a B5 does not sound like a brilliant move

Anything written by that "Tavarish" guy is generally crap. He's the one that tried to flip a Gen 1 CTS and did everything catastrophically wrong
