Vic55 Thank you again for the privilege to play with your cars.
Let’s keep it going while I lasted.
Old muscles doesn’t recover as fast as before.

Loving how it comes out and sounded.

Should’ve took side by side picture with the G90.

OP, this red paint is fantastic. Consider going with full bright silver wheels. Should give it more visual appeal compared to black or diamond cut

Otherwise, I can only add to the clamor of praises. Good taste for cars!

Man after spending the whole day there I just had to get out LOL. I appreciate you and the team for all my cars you have worked on. The sound is really quite excellent and much needed for my rowdy noise loving ears. The 4.0 has that lower rpm rumble and its quite unique vs the likes of my AMG GT63.

I think I might, maybe, yes, well maybe leave it as complete lol and thanks!!!

The current color is that ceramic coated silver or something like that. Ive got black on all my other cars so this is a keeper.

Yes, should be somewhere in that neighborhood.

These EV's just crush it or even the hybrids now... I enjoyed my Plaid for a small period of time back in 2021 to 2022 but Im probably out of the EV market unless.... I get a Weissach Taycan GT. I want that suspension LOL

It is insane how much power they are packing these days comparative to the price points being offered at…of course the driving dynamics and sound (lack there of) is pretty much incomparable to anything ICE.

Oh man, you should definitely pick up a Weissach Taycan GT! Those things are insane (and so is the price tag!). Given that the thought has already crossed your mind…I’m thinking we’ll be seeing a new thread about the one you bought here in maybe 3-6 months.

hahahaah

I might just be more prudent and lease the "lesser" version in that of the Audi RS Etron GT- about 100 hp less but with the same suspension and chassis based car. One can do a 12 month or 24 month lease there and be safe vs getting buried in the world of EV hell. Its still a very fast car albeit not at the Weissach level.

A lease is definitely the only way to go for an EV. No clue how the Porsche’s are leasing though…

[Pool Shark]

Just an amazing addition to your already impressive stable of cars...dang, I must've missed the exit for success.

Like fkn trash I think...

This color is cool, in the bright sun its like a super burnt orange in places, then as the shade hits it goes towards a merlot color.

Definitely a stunner of a color!

5000 down 1700 hundred a month for that E-tron Lease. I would assume you can definitely work that down with how the EV market has been doing lately. Can’t imagine what that P car would be

Those are terrible numbers!

Vic seems to have all the right connections though so I’m sure he can snag one at a great price and I’m sure we’ll see a new thread from him soon enough.

5k down on an RS Etron with a 175k msrp?

Thats not a bad number if its a NEW RS- Its probably got a decent discount off msrp but not the crazy shit that was going on with the last version where people were getting em under 1000.

The 25's dont have that large of an Audi rebate or dealer discount yet. But wait. ... its coming

2 different numbers same car. So who knows

They are just using the same animation- the 188k car has the dynamic pack which gives that crazy suspension that raises and lowers and operates independently along with CCBS. The lesser payment has the standard RS suspension and carbid brake rotors.

The car is stupid fast and if you can get a 2 year lease at or around 1500 all in with 5k drives- thats fine. You dont own it so you dont own the depereciation either. The money factor is like 1% apr translated on that car too.

But I love sound

[Vic55]

Still enjoying this thing...

Suff I wish:

Better bolstering (no actual adjusters as these are the sport seats).. Only the comfort seats have bolstering which interesting as one might think the sport seats would have it instead. But they are great still none the less and keep me hooked in enough considering tossing a 47XX lb estate around can create some inertia.

MMI is a little slow to connect for AA or CarPlay.

The sound deadening really hurts a brilliant soundtract. The AWE is a game changer so Im glad I did that.

With the drop and AWE- its basically done

[VT Skier]

Congrats Vic. It's a great car, and I agree on the engine sound.

Plus, it has cupholders!
