hello all, it's ben a while. Lou and others, keep in mind tat December brings us a refreshed A6 with a supercharged engine. 290 horses, and 300 torques [Clarksonism] Hey Tag, I'm coming to your neck of the woods today for the Monterey sports car championship at Laguna Seca. [ALMS for those not in the know] I think I've got the wife set to get in her first diesel at the end of the month. Infiniti FX comes off lease, ML320 CDI comes on lease.

Replying to: esf (Oct 15, 2008 10:11 pm) You've hit the nail on the head of my current situation with that statement... That's why I am purely strictly just looking for the fun of it unless I come across an offer that I can't refuse (like a 535i sports for $27k  ). The power and acceleration of the IS350 is just too good and handling is also decent now with the springs and sway bars upgrade so seems like it'll be a downgrade for me no matter what i get unless it's a M/RS/S/AMG/F... The plan right now is to hold on to it and wait to see what the 3rd gen IS is going to be like. If I like it then I'll get one, if not, I can always get a low-mileage used IS F. Well, unless that magical 535i somehow showed up then...

Replying to: dhamilton (Oct 16, 2008 4:03 am) Specifically it's 310ft.lbs from 2,500 rpm to 4,850 rpm. As before, Audi took the normally aspirated V6, shortened the stroke, lowered the compression ratio, and added forced induction, just a supercharger this time (I believe it's their first since the Silver Arrow days of the 1930s) instead of their usual twin turbos. Also, I believe the US spec engine will produce an even 300hp. And as before, the 3.0T will be as fast or faster than the 4.2, and will be the best option in the standard range. Unfortunately, it's not going to be under $30K. |
