Default Finally!

I have been lurking for a while. When I finally got my WS6, I thought I might as well give an intro.



It is a completely stock A4 with 39000 miles on the clock. I am not really into modding, but I do appreciate all of the tech threads. I have already kept myself from freaking out because of a little bit of piston slap on warmup.

Anyways, I should get going. Thanks again!

-Matt

Yep, that's what they all say in the beginning...And then it's, "well, maybe I could put an exhaust on it just for sound" and then before you know it, you're getting all the bolt-ons and a cam and a stall, etc etc....
Anyways, welcome aboard.

Oh man! One of my buddies got the fever for a pony car after I got my TA. Only he went to the dark side and bought an '05 Mustang GT with a 5 speed. Now he is digging at me and we are going to the track next week. How should I fare? I rode in the 'Stang and it felt pretty comparable in power, but I think the WS6 can take him.

If I lose, I guess I will have to start modding.

Welcome, nice lookin WS6. You should be able to hold your own against the stang, if not out run him, just depends on drivers and such.

Thanks, I like the look of it. I especially like keeping the red clean compared to my other very dark cars.

The only thing I am worried about is that the stang is a manual and I have an a4. I know that everyone says that the auto can be as fast as the manual, but in stock form, will I be able to compete?

Thanks for the responses and welcomes BTW. I really appreciate it.
