Need help chosing between audis!
The #1 thing im looking for is speed as they all look awesome to me. ive been researching older models (00-02) as i can not afford newer models and have found many mixed results. here are the 3 cars im chosing between
keep in mind im planning on modding whichever one i get
1) 2002 A4 3.0 quattro (automatic)
2) 2000/2001 A6 2.7T quattro (automatic)
3) 2000/2001 A6 4.2 quattro (automatic)
Now my original thought was that the 4.2 would be MUCH faster than the other 2 yet according to what i saw i was wrong, they were all close with the 0-60 time with mixed results for each one so im still unsure but believe the A4 3.0 is the slowest. if anyone has a good site i could use to research or could find out for me please do.
Also how would an intake/exhaust/chip work on these? would it work better with the Turbo or worse?
Any information on this would be helpful, thank you to anyone who can provide any

GRRR I just typed out a long answer and the damn page erased it! Anyway, have you considered a URs4/URs6? Turbocharged inline 5 Cylinder tunable up to 1200+ HP. Fairly inexpensive to buy and maintain for an Audi and Torsen AWD as opposed to Haldex. Stock specs- 227 HP/258 lbs TQ 0-60 6.3 sec. I bought mine with 108 K miles for 5K$ and dropped a 1000 stage 1 plus package from 034 Motorsport ( chip/wastegate spring/injectors/3 bar MAP) and now I should be around 275 HP and 315 TQ. If you decide on one of the 3 you mentioned, I'd go with the 2.7 turbo. Chipped non turbo cars only gain a few HP through timing etc. but a turbo car can have the boost increased with very high power gains. Infact after chipping mine, it seems silly to me that people try to tune non turbo cars. You really need bigger parts for those, heads/headers intake etc. because thats the only real way to see big gains with a N.A. motor. Anyway good luck.

To help you decide;
Go to "about us" at the top of the page, then "contact" and look at Jason Teller's (Audi World Founder) current ride. Yes it's a 95'URs6. And look at his previous rides listed. Theyre all newer and more expensive. So you see the Audi 20 valve turbo 5 cylinder is truly a rare and cherished powerplant.

your right i just looked into them and their a great car for a better price. the only problem is i read they were all manual and ive no idea how to drive one(im 18) and live in a mainly hilly area so i feel it would be too much of a struggle for me, but youve convinced me to get a 2.7t. what would you suggest the first things i would do to it? im on a limitedish budget so nothing too big.
thanks for all your help, i really appreciate it
