Guarantee that thing will not hold together for any length of time and need constant rebuilds.

From what I heard the bottom end is built. I think in order to withstand that kind of boost it HAS to be built...lol.

I'm sure it is, that's a given . I was referring to top end rebuilds. Guess I should have been more clear

It has a VW VR6 built motor in it with a big turbo.

I have a few friends with high hp VW built engines and they keep breaking

And the car is NOT full interior. Look for a passenger seat in the video

Still a VERY amazing accomplishment. Chris knows what he is doing for sure. The motor actually came out of his jetta lol

I guess all the ones I have seen run 10's are completely gutted out, even the driver seat...as opposed to this one...ok passenger seat not in there.... Nonetheless a great accomplishment.

Yes it is a great accomplishment! But the ones you have seen were all the factory 2.7TT engines, this had a VW VR6 engine in it. You can pick up a VR6 motor for under $1k and probably get a fully built one for way under $5k. S4 chassis with blown motor for well under $5k. I'd say for less than $25k this car can be replicated. Again, still an awesome feat!

bad *** car. I had a S4 with some mods that would beat my E55 all day long when it was stock. 1.65 60-foots rocked with AWD.

I think it will cost about 5k+ Ahmad because it cost me about 4k to buildd my 4g63 motor and that's a 4cyl. I think it's cheaper to just use the original Audi V6 which is built tough, but this Audi with the VR6 does move well. Nice project!!

Audi S4's are no joke. Minor upgrades = strong machines. Bolt on GT28 turbos = insaine.

Saw another VR6 conversion from 034 motorsports at the track. Nice combo IMHO.

Personally, i like the Mitsu Evo9 platform better to build a more reliable & quicker drag sleeper like this one eventhough i recently sold my '02 B5S4 few months ago. There's a reason why these B5S4 have low resale value now vs others such as Evo9 etc. The awd Evo9 will also be quicker around a roadtrack like the time attacks speedtrials. Also, checkout Audizine.com & Audiworld to see what tunning & other issues they have. They're great platform but not worth it imo..

Awesome car! Your comparing apples to oranges though... It's built for sure. That thing has a motor swap and a giant single turbo. Probably a GT40R which is no joke. Not street friendly but, will set your hair on fire at the track.

i know this S4 has a swap engine, but i'm just giving my opinion about Evo9 is cheaper to build & a better platform. Gt40r or bigger turbos= just more lag & a simply drag intended ride where built big turbos Evo9 w/ full interior runs the 1/4mi faster than this S4 & easily street driveable. Heck my other toy '94 civic EG6 cx Kswap can go just as faster than this S4 & i recalled u had a turbo DC2 teg in 10's in your sig before so u should know about imports.
Anyways, Audis are ok imho due to their reliabilty.

patrat: I should have been more clear. It was ment to the OP. I know he was kidding anyways... I also agree with your statements. An engine swapped b5 s4 with a built motor, single turbo and stand alone fuel management shouldn't be compared to a bolt on mercedes that weighs 4200 to what 4800 lbs or so. Just my 2 cents.

NP. The 6spd B5S4 weighs only 3593 lbs full interior vs our heavier Benz so i just hope OP won't say bye to his badazz street driven AMG luxo beast running 10's all day long..
