hi jcman, actually the timing chain is from 05 onward vs. timing belt.

Yep, should of added that the 3.2 starting in 05 ditched belts leading to the "new version" 3.0 with less compression for the supercharger.

My order based on cost/fun factor/style would be:

1. C5 S6 4.2
2. C6 3.0T
3. C5 A6 2.8

To me there would be no 4th scenario unless you're open to C5 Allroad and doing a coil spring conversion.
