Default I'M STAYING IN THE FAMILY.....WITH A V8!!!!

after hours of thinking, reading, test driving certain cars......

i've concluded that one........ modding is great.......it's my passion, but if i go with a V6 bi-turbo..... i'd end up dead if i get it

then

B6 S4?........ great power...... too much $ for my pocked, considering i'm saving up for a down payment on a house.....

i thought

1.8T A4's?......... too heavy, too little power

ok...... A6 2.7T?....... great car, good power after chipped, can do a few mods on it........ but don't like the body style........ well, i DO like the body style.......... but the not as much as an A6 4.2L V8....... and that's what i fell in love with today when i test drove it.



BEAUTIFUL Audi, flarred door wings, flarred wheel wells, already debagged, 30% tint, tinted rear light, FULLY loaded, 98% perfect interior...... i was in love.

i know, i know....... i know....

i'll be giving up some corner carving, but it IS a great luxurious car......

so guess what?


I BOUGHT IT!!!!!!!!!!

didn't drive it home yet cause of some paperwork stuff, but i'll be driving it home next week.

ok...... what can i do........ as of now?

getting clear corners, blacking out side markers, black out front grill.....maybe an oettinger front grill and front kit,coilovers....... probably KW's V2's or Koni's, 19" BBS rims, and someFAT 260 size tires.and that should be all i want to do with it...........

although......

i can go for a supercharger!!!!!!!!!![sm=badbadbad.gif]

Congratulations on your new ride. I can't wait to see it.

But from a turbocharged A3 to a V8 A6? That's a big jump! []

Congrats Nam!!!

Looks like you got a lot more metal wrapped around you for the next adventure! Too bad that you'll still see me pulling away from you. Sorry mate.

Now you're ready to be a family man. LOL



Cheers!

NICE!

your gonna love that engine! soooo smooth and great power through out the entire powerband... very clean car! and yes, i love the fenders on the a6's too. ...maybe you did need a bigger car, so you'll have less chance of getting too crazy and running off the road

can't wait to see it in person...post more pics when you can so we can see the interior and stuff

One of my friends dads has the 4.2L V8 A6. I got to drive it once and it's fast! It was a lot of fun to drive but a little to big for me. BUT it's a sweet car non the less. Congrats!!!
