Though I do miss the slingshot feeling of that turbo spooling up in the old inline 5, the response of the v8 is unbelievable and it pulls so strong straight through to 8000 I cant help but giggle like an idiot. I've already replaced a failed driver's CV axle with a Raxles unit (Marty is an excellent character to do business with!) and gave her her 95k mile service with Lubro-Moly and Mahle filters. gave her a thorough detailing then sealed the paint for winter, but she will definitely be getting a proper correction, wheel repair and new clear bra this spring (I think the P.O. only used drive-through car washes, based on the clear coat condition... and he parked by feel. Those Poor wheels...) Pictures to follow once I take some good ones.
So as my subtitle already announces, I've been lurking the forums for a few months now, having just upgraded from a 1993 UrS4 to a 2007 Daytona RS4. Plenty of solid info between here and QW, which is awesome! I picked her up from a non-enthusiast in RI, younger kid who had bit off more than he could proverbially chew. Picked it up right before Halloween, and I've loved the car! Purchased with 95k miles and a full dealership history up to 2013, I got a PPI with a couple small needs which I am currently tending to. Fully stock with the DRC recall performed and working flawlessly, but enough small details amiss that I am glad the seller decided to get out of it rather than mistreat it until it became worthless. At this point I am treating this car as a "restoration/renovation" versus an "upgrade" standpoint (for now) Though I do miss the slingshot feeling of that turbo spooling up in the old inline 5, the response of the v8 is unbelievable and it pulls so strong straight through to 8000 I cant help but giggle like an idiot.
