... Abt did this conversion on their 1997 A4 1.8T running a different rear differential among other hardware.

Info was on the Abt site in early 1998... probably still there.

Boy, that would be cool to have in my S4. Do you have any idea how much those things run?<p>Corey S

"WTF WAS THAT? A MOTORCYCLE???"

"Nah, it was just Corey redlining 1st, going 60..."

-T ;)

I rented an Alfa 156 with a sequential box (the same box that Ferrari charges $10K as an option for) and took her to the 'Ring a few months ago.

The shifts were awesome, and quick!

If that box was available on the S4's I'd gladly pay for it and lose the manual clutch.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3559"><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/jyoteen_sig3.gif" border="0"></a>

Obviously there's differences in the specs...but there's probably a lot of similar treatment.

IMHO touring car championships outside of North America are much like NASCAR. That is, they purport to be "stock," but they're really not that close.<p>-Chicago Joe
