Greetings to all. I'm pleased to report purchase of my very own beast. She is black pearl with silver interior and is a bone-stock car from CA. That, however, will change.
I plan to do the MTM TCU upgrade as soon as I can be without the car for a few days, and have already ordered the Eurocharged Stage 2 tune with EuroTuner 2.0. I also had the windows tinted to 25% all around (looks awesome on a black car!), and plan to do LED tails soon as well.
In case anyone is interested, Jerry at Eurocharged hooked me up with what seemed like a really good deal on the tune. $750 for the Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes (stage 2 customized for my car, climate, etc.), along with the EuroTuner. Those items are over $1k separately, so it seemed like a great deal, plus the EuroTuner holds the factory program as well, so you can switch back to stock tune if necessary. I also have a dyno sheet from the tuning event they did in D.C. with the before and after for both Stage 1 and Stage 2. Needless to say, I can't wait for that damn package to arrive!
I have put a few hundred miles on the beast during a trip to Seattle the last couple of days, and I have to say that I have never experienced a car like this before. I had an '08 BMW 550i prior to this, and there is simply no comparison in terms of stability, power, sound, anything - you name it, these cars are the bomb!
You all know this, of course, so forgive the giddy ramblings of a first time RS6 (and first-time Audi) owner. I think Erich (covertw12) said it best: the grin never gets old!
VIN: 905623
I know there are several great RS6 people in the Seattle area, and iswing is down in Eugene (Go Ducks!), but are there any of the faithful here in Portland?
Thanks to you all for the wealth of information and humor you all provide on a regular basis. It certainly affirms that there are good people who love these cars, whom I can learn a great deal from.
