I could use some help from the learned crowd on this one. I might be
getting an Audi A4 soon, to use as a family car in place of the Minivan
(I will keep the MR2). The Audi will be used though also for
autocrossing. Here are the questions I have:
1. I am not sure it matters, but is the general consensus that the 2.8l
A4 can still be competitive in GS with those Talons/Type Rs?
2. Was there a model change that had any signifigance beyond the 1998
model? I heard something about a 1999 1/2 model. Is that true? If so,
what is the changes?
3. Is the sunroof a signifigant detriment to autocrossing? (Like it
matters on a car this heavy).
4. I see the car is available with tiptronic tranny now? Good idea or
bad idea for autocross?
5. I know that the right car for autocross is probably the 2.8l sport
model with quattro AWD and obviously the heated seats...since the fast
cars have them. Anything else I should know about?
I would get the TT, but that would not replace the Minivan.
Thanks for any info you can share.
