Krzys Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 What V8 though mate?Audi S4, well that's if I like it after having a go. But my sensible head says maybe look at that when I need to be a bit more practical but quick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Possibly a little over sized for your needs! Although they are supposed to be cracking cars ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'd say a n/a S4 would bore you quickly and thats from someone who owns an Audi lol They aren't proper V8s anyway are they? Kinda slimmer configeration and I'd imagine they'd need an exhaust to waken them up a bit. What about a B5 S4? 2.7 V6 twin turbo, especially with K04 turbos fitted. Horrible to work on though but fookin quick. Even then, they can be very quiet and boring, unless looking at the speedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yeah, maybe I'll leave them then! My old man keeps pointing out E500's to me! Think I'll stick with the EP3 idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I was going to suggest a big Merc for proper V8 noise. Something like an old 90s AMG C43 Shame they are all autos ffs Do you want a big car to waft around in and munch miles, or something light for B-road blasts?

feck_on_a_stick Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I know how he feels lol I try to figure out what I want from a prospective new car, and what I plan to use it for, but then go out and buy the complete opposite in the spur of the moment. I just want too many cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the entire problem.Pretty much this! I have my hooning moods and my comfort moods! I need two cars to keep myself happy, but can't really keep two at home as much as I would like to! One day I will just because I can but not yet. Today I think an EP3 would do me nicely. Would love a V8 Merc though! Maybe that'll be the comfort mobile one day!

WilkesyMB6 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 A mate at work had a S4 4.2 V8, didnt keep it long though as it was shocking on fuel apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
