    D4 S8 in the garage.

    So, for anyone who was curious about this car, I am here to confirm it's awesomeness. Waited a very long time to finally find the right car at the right price. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and was willing to have some miles, as long as it was clean. I really wanted the carbon interior and the B&O sound system, which seems to be hard to find. Not many checked the box for the B&O. If you find one with the B&O, it's usually got a piano black interior or....the "wood", yuch.

    Anyway, for anyone on the fence, the hype is true, the car is amazing...all the bells and whistles....and I finally learned how to drive this thing...went out yesterday with the Performance box. Currently stock. Tune and DPs soon...

    Nice, I've thought about the newer S6 with the same motor.

    TTBoost,

    My dad has the same car, 2013 S8 Daytona Gray, B&O, fancy head lights, etc.

    I drove it once. It's great. I did not drive it hard though, not my car. LOL. Two best parts....massage seats and 520 hp! The rest is icing on the cake!

    Enjoy!

    That car is on my list for next year once my oldest graduates from College, along with the new M5 AWD and a newer S8 plus. (The other two are 5 and 7 years out from College, and hopefully THEY will listen to my advice and go to the State School and not the Fancy Expensive College. BURN!!!!!!!)

    By the way, is your S8 still stock? 3.3 to 60 is nice.

    Yes, all stock so far. Only planning for Tune and downpipes. It seems all these Audis are grossly underrated from the factory. I guess the lowest one they've ever seen has been 520 crank HP, so they make that the mean, so that every car that comes off the line makes AT LEAST 520hp.
    This video is a pretty good representation.

    Yes, my 2013 A8L was DAM FAST! I still think it was quicker than my RS6.

    Absolutely. My RS6 ran good, but would be no match for a newer 4.0t car. I couldn't find a S8 to drive, but my buddy had a 4.0t A8 at the shop. I drove it around for a while. Pretty good representation of an S8, just shy of 100hp, with way more bells and whistles and niceties....
