Default The future of my S4...

...after much thought of whether to go forward with mods to my S4 that would lean toward making it even more of a track car, or holding off on those, buying a track car in a couple years (most certainly a Porsche that I could use in PCA races), and continuing to drive my S4 as a street car for another year (warranty's expiration) and perhaps longer, I've decided that in my "racing" future, there lies a kart (thank you MatthewK). Soon there should be a kartzone in Houston, and I'll get my racing experience in there, and I bet those cost a lot less to maintain than an old Porsche does. I will keep my S4 for a number of years, and turn it into a 450+hp Stage III streetcar named KICK *** that can still ride in luxury and be very competent at the track for driving schools (Stage III mods not starting until warranty expires though). At about 120,000 miles (about 6.5 years after my delivery of it, and about 1.5 years after I will have paid it off) the S4 will turn into a track-only car, and I will replace it as my daily driver with something new that can comfortably carry 4 adults.

Default They're OK -- not as sticky as S-02's or AVS Sports (wet or dry), but quiet; maybe wearing faster...

...than I thought they would. If my AVS Sports had never gone to the track, I think they would have lasted longer than these Rossos are going to (my speculation is less than 20,000 miles) even though the Rossos do not see the track, and face a fairly straight freeway commute for most of their miles.
