I had a dusty mauve turbo slc corrado for a while (EIP 2.9l with the eip kit) with OZ Futuras. With that said, after the rado, jetta, TT-225, s4 wagon, and multitude of other vr6 and 1.8t cars, I'll never consider another european car. This became evident when I was driving the 150k mile track car more than the stock, daily driver VW.
Oh, and I've driven a sequoia green b5 rs4...it still felt fwd but accelerated pretty damn hard...not APR stage 3 S4 hard, but pretty fast. Those stage3 apr cars are so fast.
Although it seems BEGi is pretty awesome, I wish we had a miata based company like APR, back in like 2001 when they still used quality parts, before they went to cheap, mass production.

And the most devious underhanded muckraking mudslinging advertising against their competitors and also outright lies that prey upon the ignorance of the populace. Such as their "zero friction" diverter valve...
Shame about not selling, one of my coworkers is looking for an S4.

Its cast, presumably made in a 3rd world country. The leak from the factory and fail all the time. I have one here in my desk... diaphragm retainer came apart and the design of the spring perch has a nasty habit of causing metal to metal contact. As a result the valve is full of metal shavings, well not that full, I'm sure the lion's share ended up somewhere else

Miata is going in next saturday for $2300 in body work. Bittersweet, expensive, but driving her in the sun with the top down today (for the first time since last summer) was intensely gratifying.
Wow- going from the avant to the miata, though, really reminded me of how slow it was (though, the miata sounds faster... even with gutted downpipes and a big exhaust the S4 is pretty darn quiet)
at least the fixes mean new fenders, bumper, and all the little dents pulled out!
