Haha, no need to apologize to me Jupiter. I am still on the fence, but I’m really trying to keep it. I try to justify keeping it on a daily basis. My wife and I have our first kid on the way and after I picked up the ecoboost the plan was to sell it and pay off the rest of her Q5. Well all I got was low ball offers and I’d rather keep it than let someone steal it, not to mention I have a very close relationship to it after pulling the motor and rebuilding the heads. Another good thing is the Q5 is almost paid off at this point and I’m taking a new job that should allow me to pay the loan in full by the end of the year.
I’m the kind of guy that needs a toy…something to piss with, and I feel that the S is perfect. I love the look, I love that it’s AWD and I love that it has a V8 shoe horned in the engine bay. I love muscle cars, but besides the horsepower and plethora of performance parts…they don’t wow me. The RS4 would be my only other choice, but if I sell the S for $20k and go buy a low mileage RS4 I still have to drop another 20-25k. Why not drive the S and work at it little by little. Like I mentioned…headers, clutch FW, get another IM, lightweight wheels. I’m probably going to try and get my hands on another motor and eventually do a build, not sure if I want supercharger or nitrous…but I think after JHM really shows us what a stage 2/3 car will do I’ll probably make my mind up instantly.
Your welcome for the long story…I really wish I would have kept my manifold and nitrous…there would have been some shit going down…lol I always tell the wife that I need to keep the S4 to pass down to our son…if it ends up being 500whp plus though, I may have to put an age restriction on that…like he gets it when he is 30 or something.
