wow, it must suck to have to make that decision. (...no)
I liked the first one. I'm more partial to the 2005 model, and with only 13k milage difference especially. Also, the wheels & rotors on it look fantastic. I didn't get the same impression from the 07. Was it just me (or the picture), but does the 05 sit a bit higher in the back than the front? I like it.
My overall impression of the two is that this 05 is very much show quality (as in "show off"), and this 07 is a more discrete G equally as qualified to embarrass my stock.
My vote is for the black 05.

COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE SOUND, THE BOSE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, A NAV WOULD BE NICE....THE OTHER $7000 ILL KEEP FOR CAR PAYMENTS

ON THE FIRST PART OF YOUR REPLY: NOT SURE IF IT IS BETTER, HAVE HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT BOTH KITS...AND WHAT IS YOUR DEF ON BETTER.

By better I mean I'm pretty sure you can push the hp up higher, I'm pretty sure that's the turbo kits some teams have used to push the hp up to the 900's. I am in no way refering to reliablity, I have no idea how that is with either kit. I think the JWT maxes out at around 700 but I'm not sure.

OK, GOTCHA....IM MORE INTO RELIABILITY AT THIS POINT SPECIALLY WITH THESE NUMBERS. 570 RWHP IS PLENTY GOOD FOR ME, ANYMORE ON 2 WHEELS ISNT REALLY A STREET CAR....JMO
I HAD A STAGE 3 S4 AUDI WITH GT28S PUSHING CLOSE TO THESE NUMBERS AND LOVED IT BUT IT WAS AWD OFCOURSE
Who built #1? I saw #2 on a eBay a few months back, and I remember it was a really well built car by forged, nothing was spared. Plus I personally really diggg the "stealth" look. So #2 for me, unless #1 is really well-built too but it doesn't say

I'd go with option one...but I don't like the stillen front...rims are sick though.
Just beware of buying a heavily modded car...somebody elses problems may become yours...

Both cars were built by Forged and Sharif, they each have about $45,000 into them
