We need to keep this one as <FONT COLOR="red">DRAMA FREE</FONT> and <FONT COLOR="red">ON TOPIC</FONT> as possible or the Admin will shut it down.

Be nice and enjoy

Its a best motoring video. Kyle knows which one exactly but that should get you to a better point.

yup, thats it. damn 700 bucks? you could get yourself the jdm/edm hid headlights, but of course it wouldn't be as good as lightwrkz retrofit.

You will spend more on tires then you will on those wheels. Well, about the same. I think they are like 250 a wheel which really isnt too bad. Find em on sale at tirerack with tires or something for like 1100 or so.

after owning an sti and a mazdaspeed6...i would say that the sti dominated the MS6's AWD.

I'm considering another AWD car in the next 6 months and curious what people thought of the sophistication of Audi and VW's AWD?

There is a perception in my head that Subaru has the best automobile AWD.

Thoughts anyone?

Subaru AWD owns but Audi's AWD is killer as well. They do a lot of good development. If you can afford the S4 go for it.

WRX thread was for WRX's and invaded by others. Then there was the AWD thread, and now this.
