Anyone have any experiences with any of these two cars since more people I need to get a car within the next couple weeks since the cl-s is gone and these two fit my price range the best IMO.

Would an is300 with the basic bolts ons be any quick. I know you can add a turbo to it for about 4k, but heard it is a slushbox for being a 215 hp car. THis car seems like its really meant to be modded out.

The Audi 2.7t is 6cyl biturbo. I have read about tweaking this cars enigine with a chip and it seems like they produce some great numbers with a chip. And all I have heard is good things about audi's..my friend actually bought an 04 a43.0 6 speed over the g35 coupe. And I like his car alot.

Thanks in advance

Any pricing info on these cars would be great too

 

IS300 will last 10 years easily. Can't say the same thing for the AUDI.

 

The IS300 has good looks, very nimble, and a very good platform for FI. Although it's not going to be cheap to make it go fast, you'll have to invest a good amount of money for a good turbo kit and supporting mods to handle the extra power reliably if you're gonna use it as a daily driver. Basic boltons I doubt would have much gains for the $$$. While the A6 2.7T, also looks good, but it is a lot heavier and won't handle as good as the IS300, but is way more luxurious inside and out. Also with just a performance chip, i.e. an APR chip, it will make 318HP and 382ft-lbs of torque! Which is a huge gain over stock for under $600.

Now as far as pricing goes around my area (South FL) I've seen '01 IS300's selling for $16 to $19K with around 45K miles give or take. '01 A6 2.7T's from $19K to $23K with around 45K miles give or take.

 

thanks guys for the input...I want to try and find some 1/4 mile times for an is300 with the basic bolt ons..intake, headers, down pipe, cat back ect...Im leaning towards the is300 now bc I have found a couple with under 30k miles on it were the audi all around 50k+ miles
