Cool list. I'd love one of them RS2 but don't think we ever got them here. I think the A6 2.7T shoulda been on the list. All the power of the S4 without the everyone knows of it.

Yeah, but even with all the flash of an S4, people still have no clue what it is. CannotPost can attest to this as well.... "Hey, Nice Civic!"


Granted, they're kinda semi-rare, but I'm suprised that the Audi Allroad 6-speed isn't on there. Same S4 power, but with higher ground clearance, and the A6 body size.


Its amazing what people think my car is when they have no clue. :goof My boss thought it was cute. :mad:

You can also drop an allroad down so that it sits lower than an A6.

I'd like to get my hands on a manual allroad. I talked to someone who goes to the auto auction and he said that they are not popular used so they go for very low prices.

Granted, they are 250hp/258tq, the allroad is heavy and not very fast. BUT, you can get one of those reflash things and up it to 400 hp, which makes it a monster.

yeap all the same aftermarket that the S4 and a6 2.7T has. if i could find a A6 Avant with the 2.7T or a S4 Avant i would be on it like now.

2nd S4 = Sleeper.

2.7t Allroad with GT-28's and 600 whp = super sleeper :banana

The only problem I can forsee is that the A6 only comes in automatic with the 2.7t. Only the Allroad with the 2.7t comes with a standard manual.

Negitive. the A6 comes in 6spd. Actually i think Nitro Rocket on here has a 6spd 2.7T A6. I've seen a FEW 6spd ones not many though.

I've always been a fan of the Volvo wagons... I almost bought an 850R Wagon back in... '06 while I was working at EVS... I should of, but the 210k on the clock scared me at the time...

Volvo 850r Wagon with a LSX swap would be the bee's knees!

Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 was the first production 'super-sleeper'

I'm not a GM Fan, so I wouldn't be putting an LSx Motor in the car... Plus it's FWD...

How about this Volvo 700 series?
