Buy mine! :D
IMO, it's SILVER FTW!
Silver not only LOOKS cleanest (important in my neck of the woods) - it's exotic and mysterious and razor-like. If I could keep the car and spring for Black rims (without a polished lip) i'd do it...Course, body-colored rims look great too, as-is.

You are exactly right dmp! I almost bought a slightly used S4. And get this, I decided against it for fear of reliability issues because the S4 had 30k on the odo. If I knew then what I know now I would be friving a turbocharged AWD beast.

Look at the back ground again.

Before I got my RX8 I was looking at B5 S4 (The bi-turbo as you thought about) - However, now, I'd 'settle' for a b6 (2004) model.

Is that the V8 model? If so very sweet but I could'nt play in that price range due to the house being built but next year will be my time to get what I really want.

Indeed - 4.2L. I fear I'll NEVER get what I REALLY want in a car...cuz I'll never have millions. :D The B6 S4, IMO provides good compromises in power, handling, class, and comfort.
But...we'll see. There aren't too many S4's sexier than my rx8

Thanks Dad!
I don't car for that shot nearly as much as the other 4 I posted; it's my least-favourite because of the background. ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
The only thing I did to the bg was burn the edges slightly - too much, actually. The rest of the BG is good ol' Northwest FOG.

"Look at this hat! I bet you get a free bowl of soup with it...oh, but it looks good on you." Nice back handed comment RC.![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Anyway DPE I think you just need your butt dyno calibrated. Let me know if you ever want to get together on a Saturday and do a few Gtech and side by side runs to see if you're truly slow as you think you are...

Sure thing - are you busy this weekend? I'm going to put a NW Dyno Day together; that'd be better evidence, IMO - if I had before and after dyno plots.

Nah, I have the same feeling about the car. Some days it feels quick other days it feels like a dog and my sentra and eclipse feel faster. My only hope is that a SC fixes the problem for good, otherwise I might just sell it and get a corvette.

I've got 30% on the front sides, 5% on the back sides, and I think 5% on the rear window, too.
When I took that pic, one could see through the passenger's side window, so I had to darken things using PS.

Jedi - I'd still sell it if somebody offered. The amount of effort I'll put into selling it is directly related to how well Maz fixes the cat problem, or not.

I thought the cat problem was getting fixed? (again)

I won't know until I drive the kar, that's all. That'll determine the effort I put into replacing it.
