Broski. I drive a cabriolets. So the rear seats r worth diddly squat as is and its already a coupe lol

 

And no, there's barely enough room for what's there as is

 

My point was that no one else is going to share this view with you, so a kit like the one you dream of will never be more than a one-off. This means the idea you were talking about would cost tens of thousands of dollars (obviously less if you can fabricate everything yourself). But, why do all the work to a 3800-4000lb pig if you don't need the back seats? Get a car 1000lbs less and do a proper build. I guess if you want to do it just for the sake of doing it, or to be unique, that's cool; but, since you like cabrios, just get a 3.2 TT Roadster, slap a turbo on (there are even kits, but a custom setup is fairly straightforward), and enjoy more performance for less money. You could probably do the whole job for just the cost of a stock S4!

 

Please don't take this the wrong way but I'm a very blunt person.
Do you really think I'm so goddamn ignorant that I would think the world shared my idea for my car? Well I'm not. And as far as it being a "pig" if that's your honest opinion of s4's then why the **** are you on this forum, and more specifically the s line forum.


Also its not about the money or speed. Its about originality, so obviously with that response you don't understand the art of what I'm trying to do. Which is what nobody in the WORLD has done to this car, nevermind the cabriolets version.

 

My post name doesn't say "I like fast convertibles will someone point me in the right direction" does it?

 

Why the defensiveness? It's pretty clear that my posts were not meant to offend; for someone so eager to be "blunt" with me, you're rather reactive to my posts. Consider that my posts are not meant to be offensive, but informative.



Uhhhh, pretty much:




My posts indicate otherwise :



Really? Sounds like it's about exactly that.



Obviously, it's just my opinion; but, it's a very well-substantiated one - when was the last time that you saw a 4000lb racecar? I know you're not building a "racecar" - so don't go there - but you are essentially building the closest approximation to one that you can. Building your proposed project would yield a car in the range of 4300lbs - even with 500HP, you'd get spanked by Elises with 200wHP at a track. That's why I call it a pig. But hey, maybe your fibreglass headers can save you some weight

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm also a very blunt person: It's quite clear that you don't have the requisite knowledge to build a car like this yourself, and unless you're willing to spend several times the amount of your initial budget, you're just wasting bandwidth.

 

Haha. Money and time is not a problem. I am 20 years old and own my car outright. And if you are going to tell me a twin Turbo setup in a 4.2l v8 will only produce 500hp then you my friend obviously have a very serious lack of knowledge. I am at 375at the crank with a drop in filter and a flashed Ecu , and with a proper tune and head work I can easily reach 450 to 475. Which will be about 375 at the wheels. Then with a solid Turbo setup and correct tune for that it will far surpass 7-800hp. And if you disagree do some research before you respond. And find me some solid evidence before you say anything. And I never even came close to saying I wanted anything to do with any other car besides a b6 s4 Cabriolet.

 

Please have the courtesy to refute my statements with facts before you repeatedly claim me to be ignorant. I've been called a lot of things in my life, but never have been said to have a "very serious lack of knowledge".

I have a World of evidence to back up everything that I say. What exactly do you need clarification on?

Since we're calling each other out, please link to some before-after dynos of a 4.2 with an air filter and tune that's 375cHP? And, one with head work that's at 475cHP? How about them fancy fibreglass headers?

 

Recently watched a Battle of the Supercars episode where a tuned and modified twin turbo R8 was up against a twin turbo tuned Porsche. Both were only around 660 HP. These cars were modified and tuned by a reputable company with experience. The R8 was a 4.2 FSI engine to start with.
