Hey guys, been lurking for awhile. Just wanted to say hello. I just got rid of my 99 Lexus GS400 for an '03 A6 2.7T. Well not 'just' but I did back in Nov of 07.
Very impressed with it, not as fast as my Lexus V8 but ah well it was getting old. I posted some pics below of the Lex.
My 2.7T is pretty much stock, except for some 6000k Phillips bulbs. Looking at getting some hartmann wheels soon and I have a delsa motorsports spoiler on the way.
EDIT: FYI guys im a big @ss forum whore so expect quite a bit of posting from me.

lol i dunno man, my lexus had some 'nice' little bolt ons as well. SRT Intake and ECU, Ltuned Steering ECU, Borla Exhaust...etc etc. THe 20's were knockoffs, Binnos 20x8.5. I had a ****load of stuff in that baby, everything except some forced induction.
Ill get some of the audi when I clean it, for now you can drool over my signature pic...lol.

That is a mighty clean GS400 - I wouldn't have called it a 99 that is for sure.
So why did you trade? Seems like you had everything in the Lexus....and one could surely argue anything Lexus makes is going to be a heck of a lot more reliable than an Audi, but without knowing the history or mileage on your GS I guess I'm just curious.
hey welcome to Audi. Your LExus was nice. I know they are pretty quick. One of my colleague has a Lexus V8 like yours with exhaust, tune, rear diff, C/O, SSR wheels... Looks hot for a LExus too. His is fast, even off the line, he pulls strong. Yes the Audi is no slouch for a 4000lbs car but realize you switched to a much smaller less powerful V6. However, with just a $600 chip, you'll be as fast as your Alexus was and more fun.

In any case welcome!
150,000k on the odometer. Thats too high mileage for me. I bought the GS with 23,000 on it from a member off clublexus.com back in 01. Was still running strong when I got rid of it.

haha, well in that case, that makes it a little more of a challenge! oh well, i think the AWD is a nice trade-off, even if it is a tad slower.
Yes the AWD is nice, but I miss the RWD. I had the GS in South Florida, then moved back to NY so RWD didn't work out well in the snow.

new car is a V12 jaguar
Ehhh, jag...ehhh no thx. I actually looked at an Xtype when they first came out, the dealer was a total f*cking @sshole. Never again.

Sounds like a nice car. Maybe this is more you though:
I dunno who you are but you and I will get along nicely. ;)
