Redneck Router: 2001.5 Audi S4 Avant

If you never saw the television show “Are you faster than a Redneck”, allow me to save you the agony of suffering through it. It was horrible. Truly, truly horrible. I could go on a pretty lengthy rant about the atrocity that became Speed, but I’d really rather focus on a bright point. That bright point is one of the stars that was on that show; or rather, the car that won one particular episode. I will admit I did tune into the particular episode featuring a modified B5 Audi S4 Avant because…well, because it was an Avant, and I like looking at them. Full of predictably low-brow commentary, the show’s antagonist “Rednecks” were scripted to be shocked that the grocery getter could beat their ‘Merican muscle, but to fans of the S4 Avant it wasn’t too much of a surprise, especially when you see the spec sheet on this particular Pearlesant White S4 Avant:

Though horsepower figures aren’t supplied, figure this stage 3 avant is in the 400ish range running RS4 gear. That makes this car comfortably fast enough to keep up with just about anything you can toss at it in a straight line, and the Porsche brakes and suspension upgrades help keep that speed in check with things aren’t quite as straight. Further that with a few OEM+ upgrades and this is one sweet looking ride. Were it mine, I’d probably change the color on the wheels to a light graphite, but otherwise this car looks pretty sweet and in great condition. Mileage is average and to want to pay the price you’ll have to want all the modifications that are present; but it’s pretty tastefully done without going overboard and well maintained. Plus, what’s the price of stardom?
