Question...the S6 is it 4.2? or is there another factor to that line? I've been trying to figure that out for some time now. I saw one yesterday in passing and got curious.

Its funny...here in Atlanta when I pass another audi owner we just kind of look at each other's car...no nod, wave or anything...kind of sucks really. Mine is lowered with RS6 Hyper replicas and a recent tail so I know some folks are like "what the hell??". As you can see I am quite proud of it...heh!


I saw a lot of 4.2s at the auction when going to buy my 2.7t. I wanted manual though and I don't think there are any manual 4.2's state side...I read that they have them in europe but not here.

You are right...no mauals, sucks. I'm in atlanta also and have the same problem with the no nod mentality. Although I raced a s4 the other day on 75 andhad a blast. Maybe I'll see you around man.

Hmmm...your car looks familiar...you ever get on 85 south around 4pm to 5pm? I was driving one day (black 02 2.7t no mods at the time) and a car that looked a lot like yours pulled up...slowed down...dude looked at me and took off. Later I saw him again on the chesire bridge exit, I put my hands up to say (best I could) that he caught me on a bad day otherwise I would have raced....I was a bit intoxicated...enough to know not to go any faster than I was. Anyway, yeah man hope to see you too, I travel down 85 south every afternoon coming from Norcross everyday....

Snosk8luke...you skate?

But to go all out fast, 2.7

i'm on my second 4.2. first one was a 2001 a6 quattro (got totaled, not my fault). upgraded to a loaded 2003 a6 quattro. i test drove a few 2.7's (2003's or so) but was not impressed. i know there are mods to increase the hp. but the 4.2 just seemed to drive smoother, nicer.

I'm in ATL and always acknowledge. Particularly the 4.2s. I'm on 285 top end every day. Sometimes west side. I might gun a little for fun but racing around here will get you slamer time. Got popped the other day (early on a Sunday Am late for a tee time) doing 102 in a 55. I honestly thought I was doing about 88. Really polite to the cop and he was really cool to me and dropped me to 80. No priors in 10 years. No more speeding for me as the fine at 80 was $395. He was supposed to take me in for 100. Anyway, I love the 4.2 particluarly in atlanta so maybe I'll spot you.

I used to skate. I've had that name for like 10 years. I don't usually hit 85. I'm on 75 most of the time running north through the city at about a buck ten. Kidding, but you gotta stomp it every once in awhile to still feel young. See ya around mang.
