Once again I sent an email to Auditalk, addressing the same person to ensure that I don't have to start all over with my question. Here we go:

My reply was:

This should clear all questions about the suspension.
Thanks

I asked my local dealer and he said, "The new PSK sports package includes electronic stability control and also the 17" wheels and tires. There are also supposed to be a higher rate spring on the car as well. The problem is that option has only been available as of April production, so we won"t see it until late May."

This seems well worth the extra $250! (PSK=$1000, PS=$750)

After reading this, it made me wonder if this was a salesperson who didn't know specifics on the package, or a great deal on a sports package. April are you out there? You I would trust! I placed an order on Feb. 1st and if this is truly part of the sports package for April production, probably when my car wil be built anyway, I'll change my order and add the sports package to it, if it's not to late. I have a call in to Audi as well. Hoping to get an answer soon.
Thanks!

The only comments I have picked up are: ESP should be orderable in Aug. as 2001 model for Nov. delivery. ESP and Sport will not be combined as a package. Reason is that the moment you touch the brakes in a corner, the ESP kickes in, even if "turned off". Not fun for the folks who like to hang the tail out in lurid four wheel drifts. You should be able ( at some time ;-) to get either option independently.

Thanks for the vote of confidence,
April

Thanks for the info April. You are correct! I just got off the phone with AoA and yes the ESP will be offered as a separate option starting in 2001, August production. Not part of the sport package. And not until the 2001 models. Oh well, I 'm not waiting! I want my 2.7t this summer!

Anyone see or have a PHOTO of a 2.7T with PSK sport suspension/17 wheels? What about ride quality?

Frank C.

Brittney, you're scaring me. I thought from your other posts you weren't as vapid as you seem in your videos. NO 17" wheels on PSK, sorry to say. Just happy it's a real sport suspension.

Brittney Spears

I think ya gotta blame Brittney's marketeers for trying to make an innocent, 17 year old cute girl look like a hooker... but I digress... I'm assuming you've never drivin a 2.7T with the sport suspension since it's new. But what sort of ride quality are you expecting? No 17 inch wheels huh. That's too bad. But the 16 inchers should help make it a better ride.

Frank C

In driving the base 2.7t I did not find it the least but harsh, so "30% firmer" (which is what Audi is officially saying) should be very livable. Also, you are right about the 16 vs 17" wheels helping ride comfort.
My other consideration is that I'm coming out of a 328 Coupe w/Sport Package - anything would be more comfy. This is not to say that the Bimmer has "poor ride quality", just a very different mission than the A6 in general, w/PSK or not.
You're right about Brittney looking like a hooker.
