Default I Pulled the trigger on a new dd

Ended up going w/ an '06 SRM/blk GTO A4 17's, sticker $32290, sold at 28700. Besema in Norwood has 8 more. Supposedly they sold this for $960 below invoice. I'll back into all the numbers in a later post if anyone wants me to.

I see...... a stall, small cam and cat-back in Matt's future! Oh yeah, some DR's and Pedders suspension too!

Matt- sign up over on LS1GTO.com and meet the guys over there, it's very similar to this board (I actually thought they were linked).....except mostly all GTO's/Holdens! Yes, Don is over there too... Don't worry! LoL

Enjoy!

Oh, BTW- you'll find out soon enough too I am sure.. that the LS2 Loves a Procharger!!!!

Thanks guys, I'm very psyched about it. I signed the papers on Saturday, and take delivery probably this Thursday. I'll definitely post up pics. And I'll definitely be stopping by Don's...the only reason I haven't been over in so long is I was too embarrassed to show up over there in what I've been driving so far this winter (borrowed, not the Suburban, don't ask lol).

I was thinking we could start out with a tranny swap with the Camaro...just kidding lol. For performance mods right now plans are for 1) DR's, which I discovered during the test drive will be a necessity., and 2) TQ Control/Management delete via Don & EFILive. I think I'll leave it at that for the time being...

Sounds like a good idea!! I should have made DRs one of my first few additions... instead I tackled other things that you may not have to with the A4....compared to the M6!

Enjoy it... They're great cars!! I wish the salt would go away so I could drive mine!! It hasn't seen the road in two months!
