Look up the reliability of the turbos...friom what I remeber the turbos put on thsoe cars are small, and known to be unreliabel. Gonna cost you a boatload to maintain. Its alot mroe of a sleeper than the Camaro though...only enthusiasts know the difference between it and the cookie cutter A4.
I'd keep the Camaro....

I think you would end up missing your Camaro and regret it. S4s are nice though. I would keep the Camaro if I was you and get a beater if you need to drive something else in the winter.

Yeah heres the deal i love my camaro but im tired of everyone around here having one now, and i drive a 1999 Cadillac STS all winter and then i just sold it so now im back driving my camaro everyday and i honestly miss the cadillac i was figuring this would be a good mix.. i know with the ecu upgrades, exhaust, and air box mods they can make awesome power (still not as much as my camaro now) but enough to get me by

i know you said ur dad works at the dealership, but would the dealership accept the trade? a while ago I was looking for an S4 to have a year round car, and 01s were selling for around 17-20K...

they're nice cars...ams does work on them I believe. I think somebody does hybird turbos...they use the stock exhasut housing and the bigger rs6 intake side.
it depends on what you like..I'd take it for a drive and seel how it is..if the car has any real amount of turbo lag..that will be annoying..specially avfter owning a car like a ls1.

my moms audi we bought with 50k on it, it now has 85k and we have spent 12k on repairs on it since we have owned it, including a new motor. this is their 2.8 which is supposedly their "more reliable" motor. and its my mom so you know it hasnt been driven hard, previous owner is female as well. just something to think about....
but on the other hand i love VW/Audi and i would definately love to own one, it would def be on a lease though or with a very good warranty.

Congrats on the S4!
I have been bouncing around the idea of selling my car and getting a 2005+ S4. For me the V8 is more to my liking. But, the turbo does have more mods available.

nice job! fbodys are awesome cars but you will love the S. there is amazing potential in the cars. put in k04 turbos and you can get over 400+ awhp on a stock lookin car. dont listen to what some people say on here, if you say it is chipped than it is more than a match for any stock fbod. good luck!
