  1. Yeah, thats why I lean A6 3.0T+pully over S6. Similar power, half the price, twice the reliability.

     

    As for downgrading, yes and no. I can have a C5 making 800whp and have 20k left over for what I sold my car for. Not an upgrade or downgrade, just time for the next thing.

     

    My S4 is an absolute blast for the simple stage 1 it is, I've heard doing the pulley really picks them up but I DD it and don't want the problems if shit breaks.. by far the most expensive upkeep car I have owned to date lol

  2. Stay away from the TT 4.0L Audi is doing in the S6/S7, the turbos fade quick and the cost of maintenance is stupid. If you are "upgrading" from the C6Z, makes little sense to go backwards and get a C5/C6/C7. Why not order a C8, and drop it likes it hot when the C8Z comes out (I sure plan to snag an allocation for a Z)

     

    I snag an older gated R8 and have Chad build a kit for it...

  3. I can't wait to gap this in the c6z which you surly could have had for much less money.

     

    ;)

     

    hahah I could have bought a simple H/C car for much less with more miles, but I like minty and fAnCy WheElZ :gabe:

  4. As everyone else is doing a thing, I, too, decided it was time to for a fun car.

     

    Basic deets:

    08 C6Z

    CCW C14

    WCCH Heads

    TSP 3.2 Cam

    blah.

    blah.

    blah.

     

    2 owner, picked it up in Dallas. Drove it to Nashville, where we then trailered it to the house. Had I know we would have the mid winter summer we had this weekend I would've driven it the whole way. Car runs very strong, basic plans are going to be updating the brakes and suspension. It's a 12 year old car so paint needs correcting and the clear bra needs replaced. Headlights also need to be painted black.

  5. If you want to spend less than half the cost of Michelin AS/3's and get the same performance and mileage, check out BFGoodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S's. I had them on the Camaro and they're fucking awesome for daily grinds. They stick in the Summer better than any other all-seasons I know of for the price and rain was no issue (the three days ever that I didn't check the forecast first). No road noise at all. They are noticeably squishier in turns than racecar tires, but that's a given.

     

    I ordered a set of the BFGoodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S's yesterday, good looking out!

  6. On the Euro cars you have to take some of the toe and camber out on the alignment to get better wear and they will stay quiet. The big issue is that most of the euro cars run a super aggressive alignment for street use.

     

    You're absolutely right, and my car is lowered which destroys the inner part of the tire and makes them terribly loud. So bad so that I had to have the car checked by two shops thinking my wheel bearing died.

  7. 40k on those isn't bad. actually better than I have ever gotten. you really going to keep it more than 40k more?

     

    Yeah, it is the ideal car for me currently and I have put so many miles on it in the last year that trade is not worth my time. I'll be keeping it till its paid off.

     

    I liked the tires for the performance, but the road noise was a bit higher than my stock setup. Again performance isn't a necessity for me since it is basically my kiddo hauler.

  8. Tires are destroyed on my S4, looking for the longest lasting tire for my 15' S4 in 255/35/19. Currently has Conti DWS 06's that made it barely 40k miles. Car is lowered. I don't race the car so I am looking for comfort over anything.

     

    TIA
