So it's to mess with people while heading to the track...

Not to mess with the other drivers on the track...

I think the second option would be hilarious though...

Man... that is one sexy beast. How's it with a trailer?

Mike · 01-08-2013, 07:07 PM

haven't tried that yet, but everyone I spoke to at the last event, with S and GTS said it tows great. I'm expecting the same with 400+ foot pounds of torque. Next event is late february.

So how is your overall impression of the car? Good to drive, MPG, features, etc.

Dembflyr · 01-09-2013, 09:17 AM

We love it. You would never know its a diesel from the sound of it, we are getting around 24 in town and 29 on the highway. It drives better than most sport sedans on the road, and a whole lot better than the expedition. Its equipped middle of the road for a porsche, but I dont think there is anything that we didn't get that I am sad we didnt, other than blacked out trim, but I'll be taking care of that soon enough anyways, and probably for less than the porsche price.

Their options sure are pricey! One thing on the window sticker that I could have lived without is the Porsche badge on the steering wheel. It was an 180 option!

yea, leather is included in the "base price" but the stitching is extra

It's an Audi with a strange Porsche body and badges. It is a good vehicle. It can pull any domestic full size 4x4 around in a tug of war (power and esp). Good luck with it!

Mike · 01-10-2013, 10:04 AM

I actually saw a tug of war video with a dodge.

Mike · 02-14-2013, 04:57 PM

New tow rig loaded and ready for Road Atlanta tomorrow!

Rusty · 02-14-2013, 04:59 PM

Nice setup.
