Drove it to work and depressingly drove it home knowing the drag strip was closed due to rain for the 2nd week in a row

Are you using the outfit I recommended?
Be sure to post on the scratched wheel woes thread with your results my friend!

That blows..I've been looking forward to some solid results! Do you have any pre-single turbo runs to compare with?

Just came back from test driving an A5 3.2 quattro, as a "possible", albeit very slim chance of replacing my Z. But alas, let's just say I was delighted to get back and drive my Z again. Though the A5 was sleek, I was not impressed with the cushy ride, soft clutch, spongy brakes, long shift throws, and slow performance. My Z was the opposite of that. It was just more "raw", which I love.

Chalk one up for the Z.

I LOVE the look of the A5/S5 and would have bought an S5 if I could have afforded one. I won't be mad if you switch.

No scratches at all. What you see is a reflection of some light colored objects in front of the car. I'd hate myself if my car was all scratched up

I think it's amazing how much of a difference the Swift springs make! Throw a set of sweet wheels and Swift springs on your ride...and it's dramatic transformation is so hawt!

Im sorry to hear that you had a dissatisfying experience with the Audi, but on the flip side.....

BACK TO THE Z SIDE!!

Assuming that you would leave us behind...you would be sorely missed on the boards. I know, I know..go ahead...you guys can begin the flaming! Here, I'll even get you started!

That comment of mine was
