What makes you call this a "budget" chassis? Is this purely because it's not RWD, or is there some other reason? |
The benchmark model is audi s4 and not bmw. I am glad they are using unique components and doble wishbone suspension again but the layout is most likely based on fwd architecture with engine over the front axle.
I am more excited about Mazda's rwd I6 platform. |
I was referencing a BMW 330i xDrive because this is a BMW forum, but if for whatever reason you want to pick an Audi, an S Line A4 is their vehicle around the same price and equipment. |
330xi will be most likey ~150-200 lbs lighter so the numbers may be closer than it appears based on hp only. 330i with lsd may be faster around the ring at ~3500 lbs. I am guessing Acura wlll be ~3900 lbs if not more. BMW also underrates engines as we all know. It will be interesting ...
