justin_tx_16 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 That is excellent. I would love to finally find out what channel BBC is on my TV, that show looks really fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invidiosulus Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 lol, He calls the audi engine a work of art. It seems kind of weak for a V8. 300 HP from the turbocharged 2.5L opposing 4 cylinder in the new STI, now that's a work of art. With handling to boot. I have only ridden in a standard 2003 WRX and can say first hand that the thing is incredible on wet pavement. From what I hear the STI is even better. btw, with a retail of about $30,000 USD the STI is not that expensive a sports car. Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj993 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I agree man, I love the WRX.. I want one sooo bad. An Sti is that much better! I would take it any day over a M3, S4 or even a Lancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAiN64 Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 Don't forget that there is a new Audi RS 4 coming. Should have around 400 hp. Oh yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace, Josh ---------------- The best engine is not always the most powerful. He could be refering to the power delivery, responsiveness, the power band, etc. By the way, I find the BMW M3 engine to sound very harsh and "light." It doesn't have the Audi S4 engine's deep roar.

gtDark Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Top Gear is a great show! I have downloaded a bunch of them. I haven't seen it come on BBC America yet though, maybe I'm just missing it though. And another thing, if Tif says it's a good engine I believe him, I mean the guy used to drive Formula 1 for a living. On a side note I agree with Kain, I personally don't care for the M3's exhaust note either, pretty weak; the M5 on the other hand...hehe. That baby's a blast to drive too!

damonrpayne Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I have a WRX. You cannot drive it hard enough to get the times Car & Driver gets without it breaking. I'd take the E46 M3 over my car any day. Bah to volksw-, er I mean, Audi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get those times by reving the engine and dropping the clutch. If you can afford to replace your clutch that often then you can get those times. Being able to drive a manual properly helps also. The street start times 5-60 MPH are what people can do with damaging their cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poindexter Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Woohoo!! Discussing fine autos in a Klipsch forum!! How close to heaven am I?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poindexter Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Oops, got to excited and forgot to add something. . . After seeing the reviews of the Evo VS STI on Car&Driver, I'm still a fan of the STI. The hood scoop for the intercooler looks like it can suck in the neighborhood kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
