Sold my s13 in October last year and bought a '02 a4 3.0 6spd quattro sport - now just bought another s13, and will consider selling the Audi for the same reason...no fun, at least not enough to jusitfy the $400/month payment plus premuim insurance. Got a little oversteer ONCE, I'd love to track it - but
the cheap-o s13 is more fitting/fun for now. Also, only worthwhile modding option is suprcharger @ $5k Now- were talking two very different cars here, audi is definately faster, but for my $, I save a ton and have more fun with RWD...but instantly lose the looks/status symbol of the lux car Not to mention grip/confidence is unbelivable in dry/rain/snow -all conditions really.. very different from the uneasiness I experinced in the 240sx a few times around a wet corner with a little throttle input and hill to throw the weight around. My $.02 - note I still have Audi...still undecided on sale of it? = Money Pit

It sounds like you love German luxuries but still like fast cars and you want rwd. A s13 sounds like a terrible idea to me for you, why not e36 m3?.....It seems pretty obvious to me =)

I do and always have, however, also loved the look/layout of s13 hatch's. I won't be disappointed - just always in the "it needs this next" phase...that's modding cars though 1 point for the subies - Audi is a FWD platform, tend's to understeer when pushed - larger rear sway helps.

Audi is also a expensive VW, VW is crap. Old Audi, back in the true quattro days was a rwd based layout. F e46 as well, shit is piggy. I've seen cams, full exhaust, and a chip make 265-275whp on a e36m3, so thats the same power of a e46 but with a couple hundred pounds less and none of that dang fangled electronic new age gibirish. You can find them frequently for 10k but I would rather drop the 15k to get one in better condition and all as you said. Just get rid of the Audi, and dont focus on a s13. M3 is enough of an all around car to do it both!

My friend has a 93' Impreza L, Front Wheel Drive. I believe it was only an option 'til 94' in which it became standard. The engine is still mounted in a RWD fashion but only drives the front. Go figure. Do your homework before you make false statements S14DB

are you guys talking about transverse engine mounting? Who cares which way the engine is positioned. On the race track, the Subaru's have a much harder time rotating cause the rear end is too "tight" . The EVO acts more like a RWD as you can pitch is sideways on a corner exit more easily. There are Subaru guys, then there are EVO guys. Then there are guys who hate both Mitsubishi and Subaru but still want to race, and they pick the EVO. These are the guys who's opinion matters.

As for the WRC cars, didn't Mitsubishi rank dead last this year? Lowest scoring team, lowest scoring car-- beaten by Ford, Peugeot, Citroen, Subaru, and Hyundai. |

EVOs remain popular in japan because of the ADC and AYC controllers, which are not in the US version of the car. Those assists devices are the only reason why you'd want to buy the EVO over an Impreza.
Correction the US version of the STI does have something similar to ADC and AYC its called DCCD which alows you to change the bias on the car all the way to 65/35 to 50/50. US STI is tail happy... |
