I like how they look but I have serious concerns if these are suitable for actually driving on.

Which works well with the stance crowd, since most of those piles of poo poo aren't driven very far.

You'll enjoy owning one for about a month.

Then the gearbox blows up. Then you spend ten grand to make it faster and it's still lame compared to a WRX or evo. They're interesting but nowhere near as cool as the specs imply. What you really want is a pulsar GTiR:



AWD that doesn't blow up coupled to an SR20DET.

Unsurprisingly, there are no pictures of unmolested ones on the net. But I can assure you that everything in the pic is factory besides the wheels.

You're in luck, this semi-literate individual on NASIOC is selling one:

At the start of the year I picked up a 2015 S3. This comes ONLY with a 6 speed "S-Tronic" automatic transmission. It automatically engine brakes using downshifts... more than it probably applies the actual brakes; no it doesn't need to be in super sport mode or some bullshit setting, it happens in normal "D" setting.

Yeah, it's audi's name for their slightly different version of the DSG dual clutch transmission, which I happen to like as well (have one in my JSW TDI).

I wouldn't say the Homologation ST205 is a built out rally car by any means (considering they did a bunch of changes to the suspension to get it to actual good prep). That's like saying you bought an STi or an EVO, or poo poo even an old Galant VR4 and it's a "race car" because those were also basically the same thing.

True, but it still had the antilag system installed on the car, even if it was disabled.

It's also why I despise JD Power's stuff. Someone buys a new car and may be randomly selected to be sent a questionnaire.. one month after they take delivery of the car. All those reliability and satisfaction awards manufacturers love to brag about in commercials? Based off polling about cars that still read three digits on the odometer.

I would loving love to answer questions about my two year old car. I'd talk their ear off.

They do send out surveys at later points. what do you think 'initial quality' means?

It's worth it for the manufacturers to ensure their products are high quality at a few different points in it's lifespan.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but several years ago there were some guys that took the drivetrain from a 5cyl Audi S4 and built a tube frame chassis around it. I think they were going to build a hillclimb car. There was an awesome video of them driving the tube frame around. Does anyone know what happened with that project?

this one?
