Default WAY too much money, but I vote someone does it to put a beating on the idiot Stage3 B5 S4 owners

11.3 @ 120mph sounds damn good to me.

*Disclaimer* - I'm not calling ALL Stage 3 B5 S4 owners idiots... just referring to the ones that come over here just to brag and stir up the pot.

Default Most of us could care less about straight line drag racing...

I've owned both and there is simply no comparison. I would never trade a bit of stage III speed for the other far more redeeming factors present in the RS4. BUT - it would be cool to see a supercharged RS send the b5ers back to their mommies.

Default When you think about the results, it's not too much money....

A well optioned M5 will cost you $97,000. That for 500hp. So this car has 540hp and all wheel drive to use it. Cost of car, kit and labor will probably come out about $110,000. About right, really.

As a point of reference, what's it cost to do a B5 stage 3 up right?

Default Mine was $76,000.....

Including cost of a new car, all parts, labor, and an audio system. $72,000 minus the audio system.

Default jesus. today you can pick up a fully kitted stage 3 for well under $30k

If you were to build it yourself, you can still get out for &lt;$40k.

Default A lot of the B7 guys seem to have this impression that B5 guys are all about drag racing

when that's the case for very, very few. We enjoy seeing low ETs and high trap speeds just as a measure of straight-line performance, but that's hardly all we care about.

Most of us are just as concerned, if not more so, about road course performance than we are drag racing.

I, for starters, will see far more open track days at Willow, for instance, than I will trips to a 1/4mi strip.
