Hello Gent's ,
Just wanted to see if we can see how many here have the new S8.
Wondering what you current owners thought of the car would you ever modify it someway, ie. exhaust, wheels etc.
And if anyone knows of any available modifications for the car.
Personally I would just change the exhaust and get a little more bite, ok alot more growl out of the sound. The V10 needs to breathe and needs to be heard a little more than the stock form is allowing it to do so.
Wheels, I wouldn't change them, the OEM's are so damn hot looking I dont see myself changing them for anything out there. I would like to get some wheel spacers though as the wheels need to stick out further to be almost flush with the fender lines.
Overall impressions after 2600 miles so far, Astoundingly great and a constant and repetetive WOW. The car drives like its a sprts car for the most part unless you get into some serious curves at a high rate of speed. Otherwise if feels glued to the road.
I talk about this car and its dynamics more than any one of the two Bentley Continental GT's I have owned. And frankly my family and friends are so tired of me praising the car to them. Oh well, what do they know:p .
Driving impressions aside the cabin is luxurious and everything is where it's supposed to be and feels like it has been custom made just for my car.
I will be installing my Passport radar/laser detector soon, it ought to be fun as there really isnt that much room by the drivers foot well area. Yes I have removed the covering and really this thing is so damn well insulated its gonna be a toughie.
But hey I did my own downpipes on my RS6 so this is not gonna be a biggie at all:rolleyes: .
Driving around with the tranny in "S" mode the shifting is lighting quick and precise and the sound of that V10 at 7200rpm's is music, I can just imagine what it will sound like with a full cat back Milltek exhaust system, if they ever get around to making one. I did contact Milltek last year after I purchased the car and they said they will probably have something in the works mid March. We shall see.
Well I hope this wasn't a boring read for you guys I just wanted to share my experiences and thought's on a great vehicle.
I was the skeptical one when the S8 came out and realized just how wrong I was.
I still think though that they could have juiced more power out of the V10, but thats just me always wanting more power.
