I was looking at S4's before I got my car, and the biggest knock against it was its reliability. I just don't see a tuned B8 S4 lasting the next 5-7 yrs I would like to own it. They have a few known problems, and can be costly to repair. Also, that depreciation

Compared to an STI tho, its all preference. The Subie will be raw, while the Audi more refined, maybe too refined for some. I'd try to find a manual with the Sports Diff. A simple APR tune, downpipes, and pulley will easily put it in the 400hp range. Not sure how fun it'd be to drive tho.

I'd give the overall package to the S4, but performance and fun factor is more important to me.

Exactly, I like the B5 a lot after owning one, I had zero problems out of it but didn't have it very long.

I know a girl that owns an S4

Lets not even talk about the stereotypical Subaru driver 

You're probably like the coolest one I've seen.

 

[bigboss]

Because its STi related, duh. Have any M3's come in AWD ever?

Nah. True sports cars aren't AWD.

"True" sport cars? Whats that even mean nowadays.

Gallardos, R8's, GTR's. Those arent real sport cars?

I'll take a Targa then.

For most people, and throughout history, sports cars are RWD.

Funny you mention lemons, most people have no idea what a lemon actually is.

But yeah with any car there will be horror stories and people who love them.

Times is changing papi.

 

[nelson999]

RWD the purest form of driving

Also... Sports cars used to be 300-400 hp tops... Now base V6's are damn near 350...

Clean/simple

 

[waitwut]

Yeah in the brochure maybe lol 

I cant think of any NA V6s putting down 350 HP, hell from a quick Goggle search most are only around the 300-320 range, subtract 15% and you don't even hit 300...

Point is V6's are hitting old V8 numbers. "Sport" cars arent RWD exclusive either. Times a changing.

 

[andretti]

What Yall know about the 180 exhaust?

 

[nelson999]

I hope it doesn't sound like a Subaru with those unequal length headers

 

[picasso swerve]

The Mazda Miata has been considered a lightweight sports car for ages now.

Yea

"Sports Car" is probably not the best term to use.

Miata vs S2k.

Cant go wrong with either. Hard top S2k's are so damn nice.

 

[andretti]

I mean it's the v8 m8 and its coming from the great callaway

I thought the V6 in the Camaro put out 340 hp?...

Google search says 335 close nuff...

My point is modern sports cars are pushing 500-600 hp easy these days... And RWD isn't always the answer...

 

[illicit305]

I dont know i need rwd for it to feel right ....that go-kart feeling for lack of a better way to explain and atleast for a trueee sports car which is overused nowadays ...if a stock genesis coupe / infiniti / z coupe or mazda miata is a "sports car" then my M3 is a "supercar" which it isnt at the end of the day modded yeah but even modded full blown souped up its not a souped up ferrari/lambo .... I just smoked so dont mind me

 

[andretti]

Rwd is fun though. And that's all that matters

But so is Awd... And 4wd... And fwd...
