Default Goodbye A6 hello S6!

Hello All,

Just wanted to pop over to the C7S6 forum and say HI. I jumped ship today from my beloved '12 A6 Prestige to this beautiful white S6. Had to do a photo shoot with both of them together before parting ways. The drive home in the S6 was awesome!

Yep that sounds familiar to me It's crazy how much of a different driving experience it is. My wife gave me **** at first for getting the "same car", then she took the time and drove it for more than 5 mins and well.. now she tells me I can take the minivan so she can drive the S6 lol.

Congrats! I bought the exact same car....LOVE it!!! I wanted the black optic package wheels, but no white were available with Driver Assist and BO - weird. But I also prefer the silver side mirrors versus white with the BO package. Can't have EVERYTHING perfect off the lot!

So I got a second set of BO wheels and tires, put them on, decided I liked these better. (selling them now) So back to the way I bought it...just blacked out (wrapped) door trim, added 15mm front and 12.5 mm spacers in rear, and blacked (wrapped) out the roof.

I really do like this car...a lot.

Welcome and congrats! I, too, made the switch from an A6 to a S6 six months ago. Though the 3.0T is a great engine, the V8TT definitely rocks my world! If you ever put a tune on this bad boy, you will not regret and giggle like a little girl.

Congrats on the new ride. You guys inspired me to aim for the S6 next.

IF you don't mind, can you share pricing details? MSRP, % discount, rebates, etc.

Was this a car on the lot or had to be ordered/built?

I don't know where all you guys are, but none of my 4/5 local Audi dealers have any S6 sitting around. Maybe some dealers have 1 S6, but that's probably for demo and test drives.

Plenty of 17 S6s here, the 16 MY getting scarse. I got a new MY16 S6 couple weeks back, PM me if you'd like info on pricing.

I'm a sucker for the silver "S" mirrors as well. I was looking to buy a set of the BO wheels for my A6. Do you have a picture of your S6 with the BO wheels installed? How did it look with the chrome trim/Silver mirrors? I do like my current wheels, but...

Also, who has lowered their car with VCDS? before/after pics?

Thanks guys!
