Now the real question. Since you've provably spent a good chunk of cash. Would you have preferred to start off from a c7 s6?
probably not. I love the manual trans. But I don’t blame people for wanting them. If I had to start over this project started 4 years ago and s6s went for hella money back then. I’d love a used s8 though the prices are in 35s now which is way more my territory.
