    what do you currently drive? why did you sell the 770 turbos? it makes more sense to build up the motor for the 770s thant for anything else. The power will be limited by the turbo(RS6-R) itself.

    I drive a full-size luxury sedan. I hate to say it but I fell for the whole "LAG NONSENSE" when it comes to big turbos. That and you have some really outspoken people out there constantly criticizing Tials. So, yeah I fell for it. For some stupid reason I completely disregarded the fact that I could simply DOWN SHIFT to be where the power is. You know - rocket science. I suppose all that hard work is too much for some people.

    Then again, I was very impressed by the 10.8 run by JHM and maybe I WILL enjoy the earlier onset of power with the RS6-Rs. I'm willing to spend the money to see how things go. If I were to start all over again, I'd go with a built VR6 and a bigger set of turbos.

    I'm hoping that with the larger compressor wheel, methanol injection and a strong tune from J-Fonz, the car will be fast. If it isn't fast enough for me I'll make changed.

    Why a B5 S4 to run 10s? Also, to run 10s it takes more than a bunch of aftermarket parts. You should buy yourself a GTR or a 911 and if you can shift a ZR1 is good option. Also, you sound like money is not an issue for you you can get a Twin Turbo or Supercharged R8. Maybe a visit to Italy to see if they let you get into the Italian club cars.

    I like sleepers. A 10 second B5 S4 will impress me more than an 9 second GTR or ZR1.

    I here ya. Nothing really surprises me anymore. When I do get it back the first time, it's going to have a break-in tune. So it'll still be some time before I even have the car ready to go.

    It certainly is. I've had a few fast cars before and I never had as much fun as I have when nobody expects the car to be fast.

    nice! i assume you can afford those cars. Hope you can get your b5 S4 to run 10s'. I don't know if you have realized but there are only a couple of these cars in the 10s.

    do you have pics of the fastest car you have owned?
