Love the color. Good luck with sale.

 

I wish all these sti's were forsale last year when I was buying cars! GLWS, I've seen this around Lino lakes before and it's clean!

 

Thanks! The Aspen White looks great on this body style, its too bad they only make pearl whites now.

 

Interior pictures attached. WeatherTech floor mats up front. Seats are in good shape.

 

What?! Selling my twin bro! What's next??

Free bump for a good guy, nice car and awesome price. I'm running the same shortblock and very similar supporting mods, and I've been very satisfied.

 

Any white is the best color for the hatchback in my opinion. Great car at a great price, GLWS. Are you replacing? If so with what?

 

Thanks for the bumps. I've got a motorcycle I plan on riding most of the summer while I find a replacement. Looking at S4, S3, 335, new WRX, etc. Its too bad manuals and hatches/wagons are harder and harder to find, looks like i may be into a dual clutch sedan.

 

380 is crank. Stage 2 setup typically makes 380 crank easy. The car was dyno'd by the previous owner to 309 awhp at just stage 2.

 

91 octane

 

CTS-V wagon!

Otherwise the S4 is a great car...one of my good friends has one that I've been in many times and driven. Much more refined than the STI and much nicer all around car.

Honestly, after I drove a dual clutch Evo X for a few laps at DCTC...I'm kind of sold on the dual clutch. Shifts are super fast and most dual clutch cars have a "sport" mode that will hold a gear until redline, and downshift for you (at least the Evo X did). This allows you to focus much more on driving and not worrying about shifting. You do lose some of the "fun" factor of shifting though. I was missing the manual sti after driving my auto legacy all winter lol.

 

CtsV wagon would be awesome!... If they got better than 9 mpg... That engine might be worth it though. I'm open to the dual clutch trannys but need to drive a few more to see what I like. A manual would be missed but the auto mode would be nice for some occasions.

 

My only advice if you don't buy a brand new S4, find a Audi-certified used one with warranty...on a different note I really enjoyed the feel of the new S3 at the autoshow. Only problem for me is that there are three Audi's at every light. I enjoy the individuality that the STI brings to the table...

 

Good call. I've been looking at CPO Audi's. Have you heard of common issues with the new S4's?

 

I was a bit concerned going to a dual clutch, but with the RS it can be completely manual in that it will bounce off the redline (all 8500 rpms of it) all day. As such, I drive it exclusively in manual mode. Really, the only thing missing is the 3rd pedal...

 

Jealousy in full affect... RS5!

 

Car is SOLD! thanks for looking
