the tranny can be iffy. Ive been putting alot of power threw my stock tranny for a while and its held up :knock on wood: But i also bought the car with very low miles and dont beat on it. vq30de on the other hand has gone threw two trannies and is farily stock. So it realy comes down to luck! ---

apparently so, i would be doing the occasional street race, when i pull up to a ricer or something or on the highway. Its also going to be used as a partial stunt car in the movie me and my buddy are making, so all our cars are having our ABS fuses removed for cool smokey slides, other than a nice easy daily driver with more power than the next guy ---

The gtp like you said is a nice dd thats decently quick for what you pay for, no doubt, but i honestly hate the looks of them… just my two cents ---

VW has fugly square styling and chintzy interior. A4 is great for a luxo cruising, anything more than that I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot clown pole. BMW, again, great cruiser, and for tossing around in the twisties. Maybe you guys arent reading this kids posts, but that not what he wants. He wasnts something that will go fast in a straight line and be somewhat nice inside for about $8k, and should be reliable. Please, name 1 car that has an interior as nice as the GTP, that goes as fast as the GTP, and meets those criteria. Please, 1 car… ok lets list some cars that will go 12s go buy a fox bod, oh wait, shitty car… go buy DSM, oh wait, reliability… older f-bod, hahahaha evo, oh wait, way over $8k A4, have fun when it blows up, and youll never hit 12s Bimma, great inside, wanna make it fast? go FI? = $$$$$ this is all im saying. Someone just admit the gtp, as much as a shitbox as it is obiviously perceived to be, is a fucking smoking deal. Reliable 12s, how does it get any better? oh, and LCD boost guage = :pimp: lol ---

lol dude your bashing all the other choices except the gtp, not disagreeing with you, well on a few notes i am, but you gotta expect contrary voices when you make posts like the previous. for what he’s looking for, the gtp seems like a good way to go, yes, but he doesnt seem to sure on what to do lol edit: and although you make decent points, your being short on alot of reasons why others arent good choices as well, a gtp is not the only way he can go, you can see twelves with alot of other cars with a decent interior… ---

can you run 12s in an a4 for $8k? im curious. And would it be feasable for a 1 year old car noob to do? edit: $8k includes car and i dont think GTP\>\*, read my posts, im saying it fufills his requirements way better than an A4 or bimmer. edit: is it a crime that i enjoy my car and want to point out that even though you will look at it and call it a hunk of shit, it will smoke the fuck out of your A4, and be way more comfortable for 1/2 the price… some ppl think that by driving something like an a4, you are instantly classy. See meathead in the audi thread, perfect example. I personally get off on knowing ppl look at my pos and think its a pos, till i rip 'em a new asshole… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1-8t-vs-3-2-help/8105.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1-8t-vs-3-2-help/8105.md?page=4)
