Bimmers have 50/50
IS has 54/46
but A4 has this 61/39

I'm seriously leaning towards the 1.8T but the $2000 and $499 suspension and chip mod and this weight distribution is stopping me...

Default More like 57/43 for a 1.8TQ...heavy-engined S4 is 59/41.

You'll never notice... The 323 is DOG SLOW too despite the same power rating.

Default You #"s are off. Look in drivers door jam. Compare and contrast F & R weight on a 1.8tQ
Ain't no 60/40.<p>Nick N.

Default A4 1.8t Q vs BMW 3 series
I drove my friends 328ci and I have to say that with a simple chip upgrade, the A4 1.8t Q, will smoke that thing. Besides, the chip upgrade is only $499 for a garrett

Those are the GVWR numbers, not the curb weight

if the 1.8t is 3,100 lbs, how much will the 2.0t weigh? I can't imagine it's much more
