Beast with class

I have had this car for two years now and every time I get into this beast, I am excited to drive. I could have bought the the newer RS5 but I like the trim of this car much better. The V-8 screams for you to push it harder and harder. With 8250 red-line, there is plenty of room for exhilaration and acceleration. Not that it needs it, but there are plenty of upgrades for this car. I started with the exhaust, and it's even meaner now than before. The downshifts in sport mode are a menacing snort that makes other cars take notice. The faster you go, the better the feel and handling tightens up, especially around a sharp wind in the road. It's not the fastest car, but will blow the doors off of just about anything on the road. I get compliments often on this beauty.

Beware of the timing chain on the V8.

Great looking and running car. But beware of the timing chain on the Audi V8. Most aftermarket warranties won't cover it due to the expensive cost to replace. And once it breaks, the car is practically worthless. Do your research on the timing chain before purchasing.
