i dunno bro 110 grand is alot of loot to put into a civic.
i bet u any money after that much money invested the car will be more luxurious and faster then the a8.

jus imagine a 4 cylinder s2000 motor super/turbo charged with complete internals etc done to it, rear wheel drive, custom air ride system, complete custom interior so it doesnt even look like a civic no more inside, full reclinable and turning seats front and back etc.........



mmmmmmhhhhhhhhh

but this car comes bad *** from the factory, impossible to compare to a civic, dont matter how much u put into the car it wont match it

that 5th gen with s2000 engine, his mounts and manifold were like 1-2 inches off the ground, it was not a daily driven car, the guy said it was which is total bullshit, still i guess anything is possible with a hell load of money


the A8 is a killer car mmmmmmm

I now know why ppl spend that kinda loot on a car... I never thought I'd say this, but... expensive cars are f00kin nice. It was a mystery to me that someone could spend $100K+ on a car, or even $60K, but $60K buys a lotta car, and I imagine $100K gets you even more. Matt, the A8 is an all aluminium car... if he has an accident, only 3 shops in Canada can work on it.

Audi only has 3 affilate shops to work on it....BUT many other shops in ontario can do it.....not just any shop mind you...but a lot more than 3 in canada. Specially if they're just replacing the damaged panels with new ones.

The nsx is all aluminum too

I don't know how many ppl I'd trust to work with my aluminium frame sanjay. AL is such a tricky material, and it becomes brittle easily.

The frame yes...but really once the frame is bent in an a8....i'm gonna guess the car is written off.

Writing off a $100,000 car isnt' that easy. Even if someone t-bones you and bends the floorpan and b-pillar, I wouldn't want that car back...

I think at the factory they laser weld that isht... or maybe not, but either way I'd have a hard time trusting the structural integrity of a car that has had the welds hand finished after the fact.

You get that A4 sanjay?
