Burnouts do sound fun… but mostly just looking for something different and the MQB has quite the potential. APR has gone 10s with their stage 3 kit, intake, and downpipe. Everything else stock including the fueling.

oh really on street tires? because who really cares what anyone does on slicks. We don’t drive on slicks . We drive on street tires.

If your car is a hero 2 days a year at the strip with drag slicks and no interior, but is dogshit on street tires the other 363 days of the year guess what…you’re going to get rid of it. Performance at the limit that is achieved only by making transformative changes that can’t be replicated in your daily life with the car are ultimately going to be a dissatisfying car that you’ll sell before long.

Looks like street tires. Not sure on the octane though.

Michelin PS2 which is a summer tire. It was on a Golf R that was full weight. It really is an impressive platform.

Yeah it’s awd. Didn’t realise. I was referring to the typical fwd golf’s with giant front drag radials and some skinny bicycle tires on the rear. Awful.

For real? I sold my B7 S4 for not much more than that 4 years ago. If you get 18 that would be incredible.

[euroswagr]

I also sold my B7 S4 for not much more than that about 4 years ago.

Do I still have the highest bid at $5k? when does this auction end?

Haha as time goes on the value of the A4 starts to climb up against the S4, specially the B6-B7 because of the timing chain issue with the S4.

I have it listed a little higher so I have room to haggle.

Yeah Drus car was an avant, but my car came fully loaded with EVERY package, where is avant was a base model.
