Agreed. You may want to look into the larger MAF option from Tapout as well as their (or other) ported throttle bodys. Without a tune they claim 70+ HP gain to the wheels and I have to say from experience it delivers. Its enough to keep me satisfied for a while...and like you said....down the...

I think that the sales numbers are in the same ballpark - roughly 2K of each (more or less) each year)/ The fact that the 4 is less expensive makes it more available to some regardless of the extra panache of the 5. I don't dispute the fact that the 5 is more special...that it is special in a...

I too had most all the above (Hotchkis etc)....but ran an AWE exhaust (which was sweet....in a gnarly way). Other B5 S4 owners I let drive my car were always impressed how tight it was....and enjoyed the power. Mine sounded great. but have to admit I'd come across a few others sounding even...

I often joke that I could sell a few of my magic card and buy a boat.

Super nice RS6! I also had a KW suspension setup on my Audi...that combined with stiffer rollbars and some bracing and other mods really made it a handling beast. One October in the rain I was absolutely the fasted car on the dragon for several runs (with video to prove it!) I could out gun and...

Well ernsteeng you certainly have had more experience with the Fusion than I have had. I always enjoyed them as rentals and thought that Ford finally approached the Japanese in making a nice driving smaller car. I also knew someone who owned and liked the car. Bit your experience certainly...

Professional grading cards is quite expensive and probably only worth it if you think you might have some that are really valuable. I've never done it though and like you would be open to learning more. While I have a bunch of baseball cards (doubt any are super valuable)....what I do have is...

When in doubt I just drive in tour mode. I've fishtailed a bit in heavy rain with water on the road on acceleration in sport PTM mode (my V setting) and when I switched back to generic tour it completely calmed down (mollifying the wife who was freaking out)....

Nice write up blackeneth - welcome to the forum. My first car was a MT 1981 RWD Toyota Starlet that I had many great adventures with and kept for 25+ years even after buying and owning some other cars. Drove it cross country twice and in the late 1980s recovered it from salvage after 3 accidents...

I think I get it. A friend of my neighbors had a B6 S4 Avant that looked like my twin....just a bit porkier. Well, according to my neighbor - who drove both - it really was and not just in looks. He said my car still felt (relatively) small and nimble unlike the later gen. I also got to drive...

Epic!

Of course there was one huge advantage/benefit to the S4 wagon... The pic with the coolers was for when we were heading out to pick up a side of local raised grass fed beef raised and butchered by a friend of a friend of mine. The pic with the mattress and shelving was temporarily moving my...

Caveat - Don't have either a 5 BW or an RS6 but this observation and Mutz;s comparison above have made me consider the differences between my old B5 S4 Avant (basically an RS4+ clone) and my 4 BW. Back when I had my Audi reviews (and comments from BMW owners at the time) implied that the S4 was...

I've experienced this at least 3 times. Once it should have been me and the cop motioned over another driver (that I was overtaking). I thought I was cooked. Another time the reverse and I wasn't able to convince either the cop or the judge that he got the wrong driver. A third time I rightly...

Don't ever sell it. My Gen 1 supercharged MR2 was the most fun car I've ever owned. A neighbor of mine bought it several years ago and its his around town car still. As fun as Miatas are - I've always though the MR2s were better in nearly every way. Yours looks great BTW.

Around 30 years ago I had a friend who ended up spending 6 months in jail (and losing his license for years) strictly on speeding tickets (judge commented on rolling out the scroll when he sentenced him). He would warn anyone riding with him that he wouldn't stop for cops. I was never in a...

I've never owned or used a radar detector though have seriously considered doing so numerous times....even spending time on the Vortex site researching in times past. Can't really say why but I can certainly see how they may have prevented a few tickets....and I often do drive quickly. It also...

I.m enjoying the book. Just read through all the early CTS-V stuff through the wagon (much love there) and skipped ahead to the Blackwings. Just now put it down.

I've read a great deal of the BMW stuff up front then opened and read random pages throughout the book covering all the V models, Interesting reads throughout. Great pics too! I only wish there was info on modded examples and what folks had done to each of these generations of cars. Also would...

Really - lol - I never knew that and they never mentioned it. Our trophy was a cheap wooden stand with a fork sticking out stabbing a paper machete meatball.
