This car is the new Civic, everyone has one.Originally Posted by HOLLAKID619
2004 G35 maybe? Non-turbo v6, 280HP & 270 ft/lbs torque
I dont think that makes it less of a car. Im sure they're are other people that drive the same car as you right now.Originally Posted by 10 Piece Nuggets

Yes. B5 S4's were the last real S4's made. A lot of people are holding on to them. Audi tried to up the ante and went with a V8 andstill got spanked by the I6 on the E46 M3. I would easily go with the S4 in your shoes.Originally Posted by AusZero
I cant speak much about the 3 series but I have a wealth of information about the s4. The b5 is an amazing platform with tunability. If you were to upgrade the turbos to K04's or GTs you can bump output to the mid 400's. Even a simple ECU upgrade at $500 would put you around 300hp. Any used european is going to cost a bit in maintance, so unless youre ready for that dont look any further. I have a b5 and I think I have done almost everything to it. They are amazing vehicles and have a timeless appeal. There is no way a 3 series would out handle a stock s4 suspension. Let alone if you were to upgrade. Quattro is amazing and its actaully fairly to simple mod to a rear wheel drive.
