Well it's sad but i need to get rid of my 2003 evo VIII so i can get a car to drive clients around and start a family. The evo has 46k miles and in excellent condition (if anyone wants to trade something by chance). I am sure Evo's are probably not the most respected cars on an Audi forum.
Anyway... I was looking around and determining values... I was wondering what everyone thinks i could and SHOULD trade the car for (in the ballpark...+- some cash).
My first car was an Audi 5000s LOOOOOL...but we won't talk about that.
My dad got one of the first RS6's in 03, and holy Sh#* i liked that car.
I know i can't get anywhere near the performance of the RS6 but i was thinking maybe a 2004 A6 2.7t S-line, 2004 A6 4.2, or add cash or get lucky and get a 2005 a6 4.2 s-line etc. I know there are trade offs for each. Reliability vs modability etc...
Here's my main question that i keep asking myself and i couldn't quite find on the forums within a couple hours of reading up. I was on some other audi forum and it was lacking in search options.
Ideally i would want to reach 350+ ish hp for either car. What would i have to do on the 4.2 to get there and what on the 2.7t. I understand there are limited things u can do (within reason) on the 4.2 like Cams, chip, exhaust etc. I am huge into reliability, however i have owned a couple turbo cars. I have never had 1 problem on my evo, but i guess that is because of the good maintenance.
Just from what I have seen online...my car prices out similarly to 2004 2.7t s-line's with 60+k miles, so i thought i would have a shot. Any advice will help. Maybe i can only get an audi 5000s....who knows... LOL [wrench]
