Hey John Stahmann, is that your silver A4 on "Modern Marvels" on History?
 

Maybe it's old news but I happened to catch the MM on "Salt" on my Tivo and when they did the scene about the Salt Flats they opened with a silver A4 w/ DTM front bumper and black wheels zooming out of frame. Kind of assuming it was yours? Pretty cool if so!

Yep, that was me!
 

Pretty short clip taking off from the starting line at Bonneville on one of my 150 MPH Club runs... kind of fun! I've never been on Modern Marvels before!

Watch for some of our RS4 footage on the Discovery Channel in January.

Very cool!

Who bought your A4?

somebody who got the line "never been on winter/salty roads!"
 

lol ;-)

Kind of a sad story...
 

As part of my RS4 deal, the dealer gave me an excellent trade-in on the A4, which also included some shop time to remove my Stasis SLs and put the stock suspension back on and do some other de-modification (I pulled my StopTech brakes, put the Cat back on, stock flash, swapped wheels, etc, etc). Combine the trade-in, shop time, and sales tax offset of the trade and it was an easy decision.

After trading it in, one of the managers at the dealership was working a deal to buy the car.

Here's the sad part - someone at the dealer took it for a joy ride and pretty much baja-ed the car and beat the crap out of it - the underside was all beat up and smashed in, the windshield was broken, and some other damage. They wholesaled the car and I'm not sure where it ended up. I'll be curious to see if it ever surfaces on one of these forums.

A sad ending for that car.

:-)

Ouch, that really is a sad story :(
 

Did you keep the SLs and StopTechs for the RS4?

Wow that sucks. Funny how you can feel an attachment to a car even after it's sold.

Kept the SLs and StopTechs
 

I got the correct RS4 rate springs for the SLs from Stasis and they are now on the RS4, and the StopTechs are still in my garage - they aren't going on the RS4. I really need to have a garage sale and get rid of some parts. I have B7 Vogtlands, the StopTechs, some wheels (SSR Comps, Stasis Volks, etc) and other misc parts that could be better used by others...
