So what you boys think, I do love the b8 it's a fantastic car, but I want more power, and the b8 G box isn't going to be up for it me thinks!!!
My idea is to buy my friends orange Avant, take it tho MRC, I would get the charger sprayed the same body colour.
That b7 has got to be the highest spec one around. Would be quite special once it's done

It'd be a shame to ditch a one-of-a-kind B8 '4, if it wasn't for the fact you're looking at a one of a kind B7!

Convert the B8 to a manual and charge it.
Or drop a C7 engine in it.
Or go with original plan. Both that orange B7 and your B8 are stunning examples of each car.

I would say stick with your current motor Looks a beaut
But totally get the something different car ..
I find you are never satisfied tuning cars,wanting more power .. thus either becomes a money pit /reliabity / drive ability ,
Can be sacrificed then / or ends up in classifieds
Not being morngy either lol

I think you'd lose a ton of money doing it and I also think that you'd start going through clutches. I know Rich was having trouble with his and that's now at a dealer.
550+ BHP in a B7, certainly whets the appetite though.

I went in Plush's charged B7 and didn't even noticed it was charged at first. Not sure what power it was running. But I imagine a car that weighs less than my C7 with the same amount of power would feel really quick. What sort of torque do the charged cars have?

This is the only thing that puts me off, I reckon I would!!!!
