Picking up our new 05 A6 4.2L

Just put a nice down payment on the A6 4.2L w/ Sports Package and fully loaded!!!! We are picking it up on Thursday and I am extremely excited. I have a Nissan 350Z that is an 03 and needed something that I could drive in the snow that is NOT RWD. Cheers and hope to be back soon....

nice! i wish i could get one of those...alas, i am but a poor 21 year old and cannot afford it...congrats man!

I just saw a B7 A6... From the pics that I saw I didn't know if I would like them as much but it looked EXTREMLY good.

Thanks for the welcome (btw furius I am a chick! lol) I am so excited to be picking her up so soon....this is my xmas gift for being such a wonderful wife! (Plus hubby calls my Z a "death trap" in the snow.....RWD + appx 300 hp w/ my mods = BAD NEWS in the snow) I will post pics after we pick her up...., and after I get a good "detailing" on her. I don't know exactly which product I will use on her, probably my Blackfire that I use on the Z, makes the delicious color really deep and rich. I might try some of the Wolfgang line on her. Decisions, decisions! Again, thanks for the welcome and look forward to hanging out here....

thats a pretty sweet looking 350z you've got yourself there what kind of modds have you done to that also you arn't trading that in on the A6 are you ?

Well thanks CLCoversion.........NO WAY am I trading in the Z, she's a keeper! I have put blood sweat and tears (literally) into her......all mods are self installed (meaning I did the installation myself, yes I am a girl who works on her own cars! :D) with the exception of the rims and the speakers/amp........as far as the mods, here is the list I use for my sig on a few Z sites...

We are looking into getting a BBK and a polished aluminum plenum (intake manifold) in the spring. Also planning to do forced induction, but not till they have worked out the bugs from the sc's and the tt's, don't want to blow up my engine like a lot of folks seem to be doing.




Just for posterity's sake....me working on the Z





Hubby thinks there is something intrinsically wrong w/ coming home to find his wife in the driveway w/ engine parts laying all over the place.......nothin wrong w/ that is there? LMAO

LOL Thanks, and you got it "a rip in her once I get the TT (well deciding btwn supercharger and TT....), I am in Pittsburgh, where bouts are you?

haha Ontario Canada

Now you have no excuse, we have a guy that comes down from Ontario for our Z meets.........to PA!!!!

We actually picked her up TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The snow started a fallin and the call came in to hubby that the car was coming in today..........seeing how he had to lug me to and from work today b/c it was pouring snow and I have been putting off replacing the Volks w/ my stock wheels w/ blizzaks........he decided to give me my present early for xmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's so PURTY I can't stand it! Pics and stats tomorrow.......till then happy trails............

Well congrats haha I'm always up for a little road trip

Well here she is! I am lovin the ride, so many features I think it will take me a year to figure out everything! Forgive the pics, it's too darned cold to stand out there and get good pics, so till we get her cleaned up these are the only ones we have. The guy is coming out to our house on Saturday to put the clear bra on her so her pretty nose doesn't get all chipped up! LOL

Hey jinxxycat,

I too have a Z, a 1993 TT with 600hp and just got a 2001 A6 2.7L TT. Great minds think alike! Good luck with your girls.

AWESOME Rides huh? Where are you living? I am the secretary and membership coordinator for the East Coast Z Association, Northern Chapter. If you are in the area, membership is free, most of the meets/shows/dyno days are in the westchester PA/philly area. Let me know if you are interested, or go to ecza.org!!! We do have a Southern and Florida Chapter but they are not as active as we are.......

Congrats for your new car.
Is there a reason why Audi Never tint their cars windows?
Tinted windows are looking much better for me :)))
