New member need advice
I am thinking about changing from a 2001 Stage 3 Audi S4 to a 2003 C32 AMG but I'm not 100% yet so I was wondering your thoughts. How have yours been, reliable?
How good is the Navi?
How do they handle in the winter because I live in Chicago?
And what would you choose, keep in mind right now my car is faster than a stock C32 so I'd be initally giving up speed and power but I would want to get back to running low 12's sometime.
Thoughts please.

I had a 2001 stage 3+ S4 as well. My screen name on AW was marinS4. I managed 450+ HP on my audi. I just got the C32 last month. My major beef with the audi was that it needed better than pump fuel (91 cali) in order to make good power. The C32 is not as sporty but runs really strong on 91 oct. I have split the duties between a 993tt and now the C32 as a daily driver. The S4 is a better sport sedan but the C32 is better suited for my current daily driver needs.
I just installed the H&R coilovers and that helped the car lots.
Hope this helps

FWIW I got the C32 for $24k with 53,000 on the clock.
