Well that is an interesting car choice. I've never been a fan of audi latest sport models (i was a fan of the older RS4/RS6). Maybe your taste in mods will make me change my mind. Keep sharing the knowledge

I am getting conflicting information regarding PPI so I will leave that open for now.

If you test drive a 2012 V10 this weekend you will be hooked. I'm telling you its addicting. Hope its a manual

LOL.......... hell no---- GMG is only 10 miles from my office so I was able to see their entire set up and facility. They have done previous work on my 997.1TT and 997.2TT but I wanted to see how they had advanced with their Audi performance parts and hear the exhaust. As soon as I heard the GT Race I was sold. I hope the F1 sound remains intact for you with the cats out.

Beautiful car!!! I'm so glad to see it's the V10. The V8 never really did it for me, but the V10 is pure awesome!

Keep me posted. It is a manual , but I'm leaning towards the LP570-4 Superleggera at this point if I can find one in white. I love the Lambo/Audi V10, and the E-Gear in the LP570 is insane (shifts are absurdly quick if a bit rough during normal driving). There are manual LP570's lurking, but they're even more rare (1 or 2 in the U.S.) than a white non-spyder LP570 (only 15 in the U.S.).

Keith-Congrats on the Audi, great choice. But I'll say what others haven't. I was really hoping you would start a new C63 project. We do understand that it will be exciting to work with a new mark. Keep us posted on the development work.
