I want a white one too....

[belinko]

Nice car!

So you didn't want to wait for the RS5?

[gadumah]

Must be somewhat disappointing to pick up your brand new shiny Audi next to all those Bentleys. The S5 still looks good though, the beauty of that thing can't be drowned down by anything

Must have been somewhat dissapointing to pick up your B6 A4 next to RS4s,RS6s,S8s and whatever else as at your dealer.

Actually the car is being shipped in an enclosed carrier from Pasadena to Boston.... so I wont feel the pain of seeing the Bentleys...

I have a deposit on the #1 spot... should be here next summer but I need to drive something until then... I figured I could buy wheels and euro headlights and transfer all of them to the RS5....

I need to drive something until then...

It will have to do until I pick up my own S5 early December young lady (hopefully)

[greene08]

I decided to wait for the RS5 myself... I didn't want to lose out much by buying a car and KNOWING I would sell it within a year. :-)

Beautiful car though. Tell me how you like the ADS system.

[BD997]

sorry...I didn't want to sound like that...

[BD997]

thanks guys.... I'll let you know the second its in my driveway...

I am curious to how the automatic drives. I almost ordered one so the wifey could drive it as well but she was nice enough to ok the manual since she knew automatics drove me nuts I imagine a sophisticated auto like this one would be much better than the ones I drove in the past (could never get the right gear when I wanted!)

[Great White]

I have the same question, how does it shift? Especially down. I honestly have a hard time understanding why use automatic on a car like that.

[Borg54]

so what was the sticker on this car? How long of a wait? just shipping?

[Borg54]

no sh!t wow. i almost ordered that exact car...i went with manual though.

[jloh]

Hot car! Congrats!

[BD997]

MSRP was 61k plus I had to pay $2500 premium... so I dont have to wait 4-6 months for one I guess but who cares you live once and its only money right? As for shipping its coming from Cali to Boston in an enclosed carrier and should be here in 2 weeks the latest....

[BD997]

I already have a list of mods....

for now....
-20% tint all around (except windshield of course)
-black out front grill
-euro headlights (adaptive)
-12" Boston Acoustic Sub in trunk

next spring...
-20 or 21 inch wheels
-loweing springs

Quote from another member.... "It's amazing how dynamic the car is with Drive Select.

On the track, it will keep the car flat on corners, during hard braking and heavy acceleration.

The interaction with the brake force distribution controller detects when the front is handling too much load and then shifts more braking to the rear wheels to create a more uniform effort between the four corners.

Throttle is changed by reducing the amount of throttle needed to respond quickly. You only need to press the pedal a small amout to go WOT.

The steering is changed in two ways:

1. Servotronic - Reduces power steering assist at higher speeds and increases at low speeds.
2. Steering Ratio - Reduces number of turns lock-to-lock to allow sharp turns without having to cross your arms. When using comfort mode, it will allow easy parallel parking but, prevent you from oversteering in an emergency scenario.

I was driving the B8 on a banked corner of Pocono Raceway in comfort mode and the car was very level. When I pressed the dynamic button, the whole car tilted to match the banked road surface"

its crying for a manual..

We did the rear valence in gloss black to match the S-Line front grill... sorry, but no pics of that mod. We should have more photos of it when we do the suspension and rear lights...
