Took my toy out last Saturday...cleaned her up too.

heres mine. 200 hp stock. I had the cat removed and am now running 3 inch straight pipes on it. Also removed stock airbox and went ram air on it. The damn thing is loud. Sounds like a muscle car with all the crackling and backfires (caused by no cat exhaust). Stock on this car runs 16.7 secs at 84mph. After what I did to it, it ran 15.5 secs at 94mph in the quarter. My engine is a low compression V6 so I cant expect much from it unless I super charge or turbo it. In 2 yrs time I plan to buy an IS350 and bump it up to about 400hp :-)

HA! Went thru some folders on my machine and came across some pix of my blast from the past..Here was my ride for 3 yrs before I moved to MI...my first car I owned and modified the hell out of...won several shows with it (incl Best of Show, several 1st, 2nd, and 3rds)...Definitely not the fastest 'egg' around, but handled like a freaking go-kart...good times...

first time i like a ford

LOL - Thanks - well it was my first and last one for sure...HA!

Wow, you guys sure are harsh.

It's all good Eddy...it's all on the customer service and the Regional Manager when I had the car as they refused to honor their side of the bargain/warranty...but they just ruined it for me in regards to their products and company...

My boss just bought a Bentley Continental Flying Spur... 195 MPH top speed about $1k for each MPH.

An excellent car. Have driven it on several occasions here at work. The GT is also a beast!

Ollie.... you were a nice guy till you said that.

Ok ollie, now you must tell me where you're working and how I can work there !!!
This car is the 3rd of my dreaming cars just behind the Bugatti Veyron and Lamborghini Murcielago

The fastest car I ever sit in was an Audi RS6, driven by a friend. And the biggest I've driven was an Audi S8. That was really cool !

Mike - shall I add, Maybach62 (<- What a TANK!), 911 Turbo, 911 GT3RS, M5, M6, RS4, S8, S6 and the list continues...LOL...I'm working on the R8 right now...

François - hmmmm...I see you like the VW Group vehicles... ;)

--> Ollie
The father of a friend was the director of an Audi/VW and Skoda dealership,
So I tried some nice cars ^_^

Ollie, are you a professional photographer or car reviewer?
must be either of the two since u got a beast of a camera and test drive beasts of cars

LOL - far from it. True, I like photography, and I love cars. Probably my other 2 addictions besides the "O". Not what you know, but who you know... ;) Obviously the employer plays a big role too...LOL

Finally...








got our new "family" car today..

Wow Mario! I'm not usually rocked by Audi, but this is something....
Take care and have fun (or the other way round :o)

wow, that's an awesome ride, enjoy the hell out of it , but keep it in one piece.
and , if possible, take a pic of the km/h clock, when you're pushing 250 km/h.. that would rock

holy shoot. 250km/h.. WHOA!
get it up to the autobahn and drive the hell out of it.
ive only driven up to 220km/h the fastest ive gone, and that even made me scare a little as the slightest movement made the car lose base a lot and the car was starting to shake and rattle. hahaha.
u guys, how fast have u ever gone?

Hey Mario,

the 250 kmh thing is interesting... do you have the engine limited to 250 km/h or is it "open" ? As far as I know all the S - Audis and the M - BMW's are limited to 250km/h... until you make em remove that limit ,).


@ MyOaks I've 230 km/h with a much too heavy old BMW 5er Touring (was not my car!). Was a bit hard to handle in curves (fat and heavy back..) but I felt like the king of the road... until a small dot appeared in the back mirror that was growing unbelievable fast... Phaeton W12 - crazy how fast he was. I felt like driving a 100 km/h and he 200.
