2.7TT Lister Opinions

[TM]

Sorry, I missed the original post. My comments:

The A6 2.7T is a great car. I don't own one (if I could, I would),
but I've had the opportunity to drive a few, including an extended
test drive (45 min. alone w/ the car).

I drove the non-sport package car and was quite impressed. From what
I've heard, the PSK sport package equipped cars are much better. I
thought the suspension on the non-sport was too soft and floaty (but
remember, I prefer a stiff ride and like my Bilstein Sports on my 5ktq).
The brakes leave something to be desired as well- they are fine for one
stop, but drive the car hard for 30 min.+ and the brakes start to fade.
The HP2 brakes are not that impressive, IMHO.

The 6 spd., for some reason, feels better in the A6 than the S4, but
I don't know why, as the tranny is the same in both cars. Maybe the
shifter linkage is different, I don't know, or the position relative
to my driving position may be different.

Bottom line- get the PSK sport package version (the sport seats are
awesome, w/ power lumbar support) at the very minimum. My preference would
be to then put some 17" or 18" wheels for 3 season use, keep the 16" wheels
for snow tires, add a chip for 307hp, and look into an aftermarket exhaust
system (better turbo spool-up and nicer sound) as well as saving up for
some serious brakes (Porsche/Brembo, Alcon, AP).

Regards,
Taka

My brother-in-law is looking at leasing the 2000 A6 2.7TT. I wondered if any
owners out there have any comments about it, including what to look for at
the dealer before you buy, lease lingo, BTDT's, etc. I understand the car is
sickeningly awesome to drive!!

Thanks,
