Finally, here it is...

Post by pandavet » Tue May 10, 2011 9:21 pm

Well, after some logistic problems, this crazy car is now in my garage... :bash:

Here are some photos... :FIREdevil:

Some informations : Avus grey, 56000 km, december 2006.
Optional : RS4 19' wheels (Pirelli PZéro Rosso), solar sunroof, Adaptative Light, Recaro seats, black leather, with driver's memory, heating seats front and rear, black piano inserts, RNS-E + Bluetooth, Homelink, and a lot of minor options (however, for a total of 10700 euros :shock: )

First impression : the DRC is full fonctional, it's a miracle (well, a controlled miracle, because the car was called back in 2010 for a DRC problem). The car is crazy, and far far ahead my ex-b6 S4. The engine is a 3-in-one and really amazing. The chassis is very strict and performant, but is really confortable. A big big surprise !

Fuel consumption is also lower than my S4. Ok, just 5 to 10%, but it's the "cherry over the cake", as we say in France... :thumb:

No major Vagcom default (only the center left rear radar sensor is out), and relative close performance versus a full stock c5 RS6, recorded at 462,5 cv on a testing bench.

I'm so HAAPPYYYYYYYYYYY... :thumb:

Welcome pandavet.

Do these cars get stolen a lot in france?

Are they very rare?
I never see any performance cars in France when I go!

Very nice bud :thumbs:

Do you know if the memory seats were standard or a retrofit?

@neckarlsum : Well, it depends a lot of the place you live. But Twingo, Smart, Megane, 306, Fiesta, Espace etc are the most stolen cars in our country. No need to have a sport car indeed... :thumbsdown:
And it's the same if you want to see sport cars. I lived in Normandy for a couple of years, and my S4 was almost the only GT car in the area. Now I live in the south west, and every day is a festival of Porsche, Maserati, and Aston. :thumbs:
But S and RS are rare... :kissmyrings:

@andre3000 : memory seats are optional equipment (370 euros).
