Oh yeah.... K04's are being transplanted as well. She's gonna be a quick little krauter.
I like the idea of a 2001.5 or 2002 VAST GT B5 S4...but there's no way I could handle the work required to keep it rocking if something went wrong. Engine pull is not something I ever want to do.

a friend of mine just got his Nogaro B5 put together by VAST. I think it's a GT600 (they have GT600, GT800 and GT1000 kits...and you can guess what the numbers mean)...and with a basic tune it ran 11.6@127mph in 90 degree heat with 2600 DA!

Those cars are just nuts.

Those are really impressive numbers. Is this car in Ontario? Would love to see and hear it up close.

My car won't be anywhere near 600hp. Its a daily driver and I too am not fond of B5 engine pulls. Prince and I designed/built my kit with parts to make a conservative 460hp. I could add meth and a more agressive tune and top 500hp but I'm not interested in the headaches. The car is going to be plenty fast for me.

I would like to see one of those monster GT cars in person as well though

All valid issues, that a premium brand like Audi should have resolved by the time the '07 was shipped. My '08 still has all of these issue (line in?I haven't found it yet))except for the folding mirror issues. That's not a good sign for the S4 life cycle. Could it go the way of the RS4?
