Jamo / Durt
Jamo is right on about the S4 motor, however they seem to be having some serious problems with it. Either a QC issue at the factory or some defective internals; but a fair number of them are expiring at less then 500 miles, valves dropping...Plus a good number of 6 speeds trannys are, well, not working too well...

I'd hang onto your B5 and mod that sucker out, Durt. I'm waiting for the '05 model on the new S4, plus I hoping Audi will put their new DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) "double clutch" into the '05 cars. They should have the bugs worked out by then, hopefully...Re: leases, I intend to lease the new S4, see if there is anything better when it's up, if not, buy it out and throw some nice mods on it.

Speaking of German musclecar wars - you guys see MB is releasing a C55 ??? Insane.
