i just dont dare to imagine how 80 (!!!!!) hp plus must feel then.....

I dont think they feel that dramatic, its his V70R which is a lot heavier and comfier than the 850....i think performance wise they will be pretty matched now but the 850 should "feel" faster
854 T-5R...will be back soon.

I'm an idiot, I meant to say Audi S4. The one with a V8, that's in the same price range as the S60R. The regular A4s are fodder, clearly. tongue.gif

I was comparing stock to stock.

Modded to modded is a different story, your completely right.

You'd be surprised. I paid 40 out the door for my loaded S60R when they were brand new, you can get the same car for 37ish today...

But yes the S4 is rather superior.

I could walk out the door with a nice S60R here in Dallas for 35k. If only it were that desirable... wink.gif They're stacked up on the dealers' lots, and prices have been dropping...

If I were in the market for a bargain sports sedan now, I'd wait for the new IS. Looks pretty Darn impressive.

The prices are dropping because the car is not what people thought it would be. Its a great car for a alot of people but somethings on that car are just annoying. I was seriously interested in an S60R back in the summer of 2003. In fact I nearly put down a deposit when I was at the dealer . I thank God I didnt. I've driven the car many times and the turning radius is a huge issue for me among other things.

If it was that car it's quick. I got to go for a spin in it when it was in LA a few months back, and even not tuned to its full potential it was fast. I have no #'s to back anything up as it was just a butt dyno doing the testing, but I was impressed. I couldn't tell you what type of power it's putting down though.

Haldex is suppose to be releasing these "fixes" for several of their applications.  I'm pretty sure crapspeed just fronted the money to have their name thrown in the pot with the Haldex fix.  neuspeed can suck it. smile.gif

As you elluded to, the issue currently isn't with Evolve on getting this software released. The ball has been in Haldex NA's court for some time now.

And now it's for sale. He has an option to get an M3 and wants to sell the R. I think he wants $32,500 for it. First come First Serve.

He could run those times. Keep in mind the Evolve Blue Mule had NOS, that's how they got their advertised 500HP. They had 150HP worth of bottle.
