I was tossing some idears around regarding my current car situation. For those of you who don't know, I have a B6S4 and a Cayman S. I own the S4 outright and lease the Cayman. What started this out was the news that I will be getting a raise soon. The deciding factor on all of this is how big my raise is.

First off, let me say, the Cayman S is a dream. I ****ing love this car, it's simply amazing and an automotive work of art.

That being said, I don't really need two cars, two car insurance payments, nor do I need to be throwing money away to a lease payment. I'd much rather have one car, a performance driven sedan (I, know, I know, I already have an S4), and the money going to actually owning the car. So I have the RS4 on my brain again.

So, should I break the lease on the Cayman S, turn my S4 back to stock, sell the parts, order an RS4, and trade in the S4? Or should I just be happy with what I've got. What do you guys think?

I noticed the Nevada plate and I traded mine in almost a year ago and that looks like it could be it with Labree exhaust and KDW 2 tires. Just curious.

else stay the way you are. rs4 is not worth a cayman s + s4 sorry... mt 2nd alternative would be to trade in ur b6 s4 for a b7 s4.

Nope, got it new. I think you had a black one right? Mine is Moro.

Trade the S4 on the RS4 and get rid of the Porsche "Gayman" (that's what Jeremy Clarkson calls it)! Or, replace the Cayman with a 911 and sell the S4.

I had the B6S4 because it was AWD, V8, and a 6 speed. It was the only option till the RS4. I sold the S4 and my e30 M3 race car for the RS4.

it's got awd so it'll be fine even in snow

but srsly, I'd keep the Cayman S and B6 S4 you already have if I were you. As great as the RS4 is, it does not defy the laws of physics and because of its weight and awd configuration, simply cannot match the Cayman S in terms of mechanical grip and steering feedback/handling. With the Cayman S, you already have a car that handles like no other (arguably the best handling car south of $100k not counting the Elise and Exige) and when you get bored of it, you've got a very capable Audi that really isn't that much slower than an RS4 that you'd notice it in daily driving duties. The RS4 is not the best of both worlds, but rather a compromise of the two.

Mostly it's an emotional decision. You already know more than most of us because you have owned a Cayman S and can compare to the B6S4.

Like some have said, they won't take the RS4 to the track much because it's too damn expensive. (tires/pads)

If you plan to track a car much, I'd keep the cayman S. If you will rarely track the car I'd do the RS4 if it were me.
