I want to road trip across the country...

In one of these ^ (B7 RS4)

With one of these ^ on it (APR Stage 3 TVS Supercharger)...

Am I crazy or just a little bit insane?

You are perfectly normal.

Catback exhaust also. You need that.

Oh, and Imola yellow. That isn't an option.

If its not Imola its Nogaro Blue.

And yes, a wonderful, throaty, mean as all get out exhaust would be Required .

Yeah, Both of them are good in my book.

But those Brushed Aluminum-Esque mirror caps though. Love those.

Yea, it pushes it to the high 600hp mark (to the crank).

Good, Good. Miltek or one of those Apr systems.

PES makes nice Superchargers also, Ecu software too.

Where have all the lightweights gone? > CAR_IS_MI
04/18/2014 at 17:36

I'd be game to co-drive.

Ehh, Im not a huge fan, I would get CF caps. But I am literally obsessed with CF. I would replace my bones with CF if I could. Hell, I would replace your bones with CF if I could.

Please, for the love of God, stop talking before I spaz myself to death.

Too much intimate details!

Haha, a CF splitter would look rather nice on an Rs4. Except not that Ricer-Wrap stuff that they sell at Auto Zone. I've got some of that. It feels like sandpaper made love to a rubber glove.

I think this is a good idea. Make sure to take pics and video.

CAR_IS_MI > jkm7680
04/18/2014 at 17:39

No. Only real CF. I have some experience with real CF so if it came down to it, I would just make it myself.

Awesome! I bought some fake CF for wrapping my Keyboard in. I haven't attempted that yet.

Saracen > CAR_IS_MI

Sprint Blue for B7's. It's close though.

Saracen > CAR_IS_MI
04/18/2014 at 17:41

Stop tempting me! I've been looking at B7 RS4's for weeks and there is an APR supercharged RS4 nearby on CL for a very reasonable price..

MonkeePuzzle > CAR_IS_MI
04/18/2014 at 17:41

roadtrip, or timed continental crossing?

CAR_IS_MI > Saracen
04/18/2014 at 17:43

I have been looking at RS4s since before I bought my S4... Now that the S4 and Mustang are both gone and I have no more V8 Powah, I want as RS4 way more than ever before.

CAR_IS_MI > MonkeePuzzle
04/18/2014 at 17:43

Both...

Saracen > CAR_IS_MI
04/18/2014 at 17:44

I've wanted one for years, common sense told me get something more economical. I'm not sure if I care anymore..

cazzyodo > CAR_IS_MI

this is completely sane. i have the same recurring want but havent made my way to a specific vehicle yet.

Dsscats > CAR_IS_MI

I'd rather go for a V10 S6 or S8 with a twin turbo set up. If a Gallardo can take 1500hp why can't an S6 take 1000 or 800

CAR_IS_MI > Saracen

After DD-ing an F350 Diesel and a Mustang that got 7 MPG, I decided to get something economical, which somehow ended up being a B8 S4, which (not surprisingly) didnt have enough room for 85% of what I needed to do, so I did the economical thing and bought a Jeep and put big tires on it.

Yea I don't quite get the full meaning of that word "economical"...

coast to coast in under 28 hours? :D

I have already road tripped the country once, but I want to do it in something fun.

RS4 because manual transmission.

PES superchargers don't have a very good rep.

APR if you want a roots type, or JHM if you want centrifugal.

CAR_IS_MI > MonkeePuzzle
04/18/2014 at 17:55

I did coast to coast in 43 hours in an F350 pulling everything I owned (except my other vehicles)...

Dsscats > CAR_IS_MI
04/18/2014 at 17:58

TBH I think I'd want auto or paddle shifters for a road trip all the way across the country,

IM HAVING A CRISIS

CAR_IS_MI > Dsscats
04/18/2014 at 18:02

NAH. Especially in the wee hours of the morning when you're passing through the vast emptiness of New Mexico and Texas where its flat and straight with nothing in sight for hours on end. Shifting will keep you alive.

I've heard both good and bad things about PES.

Their systems are very loud, at idle though. Very, Very loud that is.

Saracen > jkm7680
04/18/2014 at 19:01

It's junk. Disappointingly low gains and blown motors.

The APR kit is only slightly more expensive, and their quality and R&D is second to none.

Let me know if you're going through western South Dakota - I'm 20 mins from Mt Rushmore and the last bit of civilization for a loooong time

You know, that's the thing about recurring thoughts; One just keeps having them.
