This is what I come back to. Sure, the stock A4 ain’t much with the 2.0T, but APR is cheap and solves that problem.

1.8T? Other than coilpacks (swap on the side of the road in 15 minutes if you have to), it’s pretty solid I think. The early EA888 were the same way... again, I think, but those also had fuel pump problems.
Point of order- it’s Denver, so the V8 makes ~270HP here. so this is probably damned close - the turbos work better here assuming you haven’t done something stupid with them.
Denver; that’s not going to pass emissions here. $5 says he couldn’t find someone to bribe this time around, or moved here and discovered that Air Care Colorado takes its job seriously, and is now trying to ditch it without a passing emissions slip. Which, technically, the seller is required to get (but will ditch…
Uh huh. It’s also a civic. Or maybe a Trax. Or hell, it’s a car thing. That’s all we know, I’m a dealer internet dude.
A solid rock wall (or pedestrians, if other fords are any example).
Because fun.
Bet the black one has an automatic in it. Every single one (with one exception that the dealer did not want to sell) I’ve seen advertised as manual was actually the auto. Every. Single. One. And the exception? A great honda dealer that keeps a mint, brand-new S2000 in the showroom, along side a Type-R Integra (both…
Click the turn signal and power changes on an adjustable tune :) Back to stock, higher HP, race fuel, etc. Most tie to cruise control or turn signals.
Amen. but it’s what the people will buy.
Oh it’ll run. Just not well. Or nicely. Or comfortably. But it’ll run. Ish.
I don’t work on my own cars, so I’ll admit that part doesn’t count for me (but is accurate, I used to - just no time anymore). Better gas mileage depends on what you’re doing - I get close to 30 regularly with a twin-turbo V8 putting out more power (and I’m in colorado too), but it’s all about what you’re doing. Same…
That’s my current plan. Add your own tires/wheels later.
And you think it matters? It’s a crossover!
They’ll buy a Chevrolet Trax.
I’ve owned two LS1s, LS6, an LSA, and almost an LS3 (twice). Well aware of the aftermarket, and compared to what a modern forced induction engine has, and in 2020, I’m not impressed anymore. I’ve been buying GM V8s for YEARS now, starting back with the TPI 305 from an 87 Firebird Formula, and I’ve even had a 454 Big…
Oh, and I’ll grant the CT6 - for the what, 2 years it was around? And the C8? LT1 is yet another generic pushrod V8. The LT4 straps a supercharger on it - at least you can change out the pulley to make more power. I’d high hopes when there were rumors of turbos on the Z06, but with it now being DOHC/5.5/Flat-Plane,…
I’m thinking more in general and my disappointment in the C8. And yes, I have a unique circumstance, but I’m also bored looking at “yet another generic N/A V8 with a limited realistic aftermarket” that all the American brands like to throw into things (Hellcat/GT500/ZL1 aside, as you can at least futz with the pulley…
I’m all about a boosted V8. Everyone but the germans seems terrified of it though - and GM, but they bailed on the Blackwing in a hurry. Super still has the same problem with altitude (unless you do weird things like Audi/Jaguar and actually dump part of the boost intentionally, so you have extra to spare).
