#41 of 6896 Sport Package by dcquan Jul 29, 2000 (7:17 am)
I ordered my six speed 2001 A6 2.7T back in mid June. At the time I placed the order the sales person told me that Audi was having problem with the sport package production and was not accepting orders for this option. Since than I have read several good reviews regarding the sport package in this forum and got me thinking about getting it (my car is not in production yet). My questions are, (1) Has anyone heard about problems with the sport package for the 2001s? (2) How noticeable is the change in ride? (3) Does the sport suspension reduces the car's ground clearance? (4)What kind of tires does it come with? How's does it perform in rain and snow? (5) Does it worth the money? Any response is appreciated.

Doug, 1. No. 2. Haven't experienced it first hand, but those who have it seem to love it. This suspension seems to be prefered if you want more performance oriented handling. I would characterize the stock suspension as soft, but well controlled. I suggest driving the sport suspension to gain your own opinion. 3. Yes. I think it's somewhere around 20mm. That's about 3/4 inch. 4. 215x55 "performance tires." Don't know what kind. If they're not all season, they will degrade snow performance. Theoretically, the stiffer suspension will do this too, but owners who have it don't seem to have any problems. 5. Depends on what you want. If you would prefer a less soft suspension with better handling, definitely. (You also get sport seats. Very comfortable, unless you are particularly wide.) Hope this is of some assistance.
#43 of 6896 chips by lhn5 Jul 30, 2000 (5:42 am)
What capability does adding a chip to the A6 2.8 engine provide? Anyone know a website that describes/offes these products? Thanks. Seems like an economical way to get near 2.7T performance with the lower price of the 2.8 engine.
#44 of 6896 chips do almost nothing to normally aspirated cars by bollinger Jul 30, 2000 (6:40 am)
And since the A6 2.8 is already tuned to 200HP instead of the 193HP of the A4 2.8, you're really looking at a small gain. Perhaps on the order of 10HP. You're probably going to need a cat-back and cold-air induction system to even notice the difference. And you're not going to come near the 2.7T. Sorry.
#45 of 6896 Pricing at Holberts in PA, Bucks Coumty by rmcintyre Jul 30, 2000 (4:09 pm)
Has anyone purchased an A6 Audi at Holberts? What kind of discounts did you receive?
#46 of 6896 2001 A6 2.7T by rhewins Jul 30, 2000 (11:41 pm)
OK, forget the wheels and tires. I have already concluded that I will have to buy those myself. Has anyone done that? By the way, is there any particular reason to buy the 2001 instead of the 2000? Has anything changed/improved/been fixed?
#47 of 6896 rhewins re: 2001 vs. 2000 2.7T by mpuzach Jul 31, 2000 (1:15 am)
Here's a recap of the major differences: 1. '01 model has standard ESP (Electronic Stabilization Program. 2. Options are "bundled" differently. For '01, "Premium Package" includes steering wheel audio/phone controls, auto-dimming mirrors, xenon headlights. "Preferred Luxury Package" has moonroof, leather, HomeLink, and front L+R memory seats. (If you want only the leather, it's available as a stand-alone option.) "Guidance Package" = Nav system and rear parking assistance. With the exception of the leather, each of the above are available ONLY as parts of their respective packages. 3. For '01, side curtain airbags are standard. (Optional in '00) 4. Warranty in '01 4 yrs./50,000 miles vs. 3 yrs./50,000 for '00. 5. '01 has immobilizer as part of anti-theft system; not available in '00. 6. No more Lago Green or solid Royal Blue interiors in '01. 7. No more Jaspis Green exterior in '01; Andorra Red available only on 4.2 in '01. I think that's it. Readers, have I missed anything? - Mike

Also for 2001: - No more solar-powered cooling system - New 16" wheel available as an option
#49 of 6896 spoon2000 re: New 16" Wheel? by mpuzach Jul 31, 2000 (5:50 am)
Which one are you referring to? The brochure shows a new optional 5-spoke 17" for the 4.2 (in addition to the optional 17" "pie plate" that carries over from last year), but no new 16"er. Is there a new one that isn't in the brochure?
#50 of 6896 Want a great deal on a 2001 A6 2.7T? by mpuzach Jul 31, 2000 (7:47 am)
If you live in a state serviced by carOrder.com, check their web site. Their pricing model shows "no charge" for the Preferred Luxury Package (leather, moonroof, HomeLink, memory seats & mirrors) on the 2.7T. This option retails for $2925 and invoices at $2574. It's got to be an error, but the word is that until the error is corrected in the pricing model, they're honoring the deal. Too bad for me. I got my 2000 A6 2.8Q through carOrder for $592 over invoice; with the free Preferred Luxury Package I could buy an indentically-equipped 2001 2.7T for only about $750 more than I paid for my 2.8.
