Compliance For The M35 Stagea

[pixel8r]

A lot of people mentioned the lack of power in the M35 stagea, yet it has more power (stock) than series 1 & 2 stageas. I would say that ALL stageas lack power in stock form.

Obviously a lot less available go-fast bits for the VQ turbo engine however...

I bet a lot of us stagea owners wouldn't have bought a stagea if it wasn't for the RB engine + turbo....true??

RB + turbo + wagon + comfort = all the best bits in one car

Not quite true, the series 2 stagea has the NEO rb25det (and intercooler/turbo), and that has the same power as the VQ25DET in the M35.

I never feel like I lack power in my stock standard rs4s - but as it is a series 2 manual it's got 20% more engine power than a series 1 (at least) and no torque converter...

So I suppose the only reason the M35 would feel underpowered is the auto box - and I don't know which one they used in it.. But my R34 with the same power (and the MAT box) goes very well - though it is 200kg lighter than a stagea...
