Also bought mine a year and a half ago, at that time i had 85K now i have 97K.
so far the car is ok given the maintenance I’ve done, there is room for improvement but baby steps.
hopefully i can keep this car for another 5 yrs or until EVs take over the market.
bought at 98k here. about to do a decent overhaul. from everything i’ve read here, i expect the car to at least hit 150k, and very well 200k. looking forward to many happy miles and years ahead
Mine is a 06 currently on 162k and still going strong. Had it custom remapped by MRC here in the UK and dyno figures after remap showed it at 435bhp. We never expected any great increase on paper from the remap (it was showing 417bhp after carbon clean prior to remap) but it has released a hell of a lot of performance- from what I read on here about cars after the JHM tune it sounds very similar.
No its not a typo. I bought it brand new in 2007 and cant find a good substitute. I have a 911 GTS cabriolet for warm sunny days so the S6 is my foul weather friend - and there is plenty of foul weather in Wisconsin! How can I replace a V10, AWD, all weather family sedan? Besides, the old gal just got a JHM makeover - the fountain of youth!
Just noticed your avatar… is it true? There’s another C6 S6 out there being taken to HPDEs regularly? I haven’t seen any at any of the track days done by PCC-ACNA. Maybe next year.
scopemeister Please start a new thread. Its great to have new threads with build updates for members and just casual site readers to get more first hand experience. That and its always great to hear more and more modded S6 threads.
I haven’t gotten it out to Road America Since 2009. I track my 911 now since its cheaper to track.
The first time I got it out there in 2008, there was a pro photographer shooting car porn for a fee so I bought these photos from him:
That blue is very rare. Its a good bold color for that kind of car. It would be interesting to get the breakdown on each color and how many were made.
Depending on how old you car is you should be able to call Audi customer support give them your vin and they can tell you how many cars they made for that year and how many were made in each color.
Thanks guys. Funny! I saw the sprint blue in a car magazine in 2007 and when I ordered the car in sprint blue, the dealer searched his database and found one in Virginia and one in LA. The one in Virginia was the closest match to what I wanted (silver seats, carbon fiber trim, tech package) the only thing I couldn’t get was the leather stitched dash. It was a $750 upcharge for the paint, and he agreed to split the shipping charge with me (another $500 out of pocket). A guy from the subdivision next to ours bought a sprint blue S5 and a golf buddy bought a sprint blue S4 shortly thereafter. I would like to think I inspired them. I found the original window sticker in case you guys want to see one: http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a599/scopemeister1/windowsticker_zpsbwxx65d1.jpg
Wow, that’s more S6’s than I’ve seen in person, anywhere. Outside of JHM’s shop (I don’t count that, because their shop is an S6 magnet), I’ve only ever seen I think 4 S6’s. 3 of them were C7’s, and the fourth was a black C6 just like mine, the only other C6 I’ve ever seen in person (besides at JHM). Now that I think about it, I actually did spot a 5th one in Athens, Greece a couple years ago, which was also a black C6.
On the other hand, I see S4’s and S5’s almost daily. Not sure why the S6 ended up being so unpopular, it’s probably the coolest car Audi has ever made besides the R8. Maybe the price point was/is just not really in the right spot for north american sales.
I agree. I’ve seen 10+ R8s at various times throughout the neighborhood, a C7 S6, plenty of S7s and even 1 RS7. I’ve only seen one S6 C6 while coming from the city and I just about shit a brick because you just don’t see them.
Aw snap. I passed on a Sprint Blue listed in Chicago in late 2013 and bought a black one instead. The black was listed at $2k less and I paid a below that. But if someone would have told me how much I’d have to put into the car over the next 4 years I would have certainly gone for the Blue. It was a beauty.
