For me I was told it would be a good idea to use it since it bolts right up to most audi transmissions and usually people use audi trannies for these builds. I was going to use an 01e but then I decided I wanted an auto so I can replicate egear and paddle shifters.
Another reason is that I found an 00 audi a8 4.2 in excellent condition for only $1100 not a scratch on it. The only thing wrong with it is something with the transmission it will only work in reverse. I haven't investigated the problem yet.

On top of that I love the sound, I definitely can't have my car sounding like a muscle car.
Alfas are rare where I am, I've never even seen one in person.
