Default What's better than 1 LT4?

2! Picked up this baby late tonight. With just a few miles on her I have little feedback to offer so far except I am glad I went M7 on the Z now that I can experience the A8 in the V. The V has everything BUT carbon fiber aero and Recaros. I can live with that considering the Z is the looker and top dog. Better pics to follow. This was the first V to be delivered in the area and I was surprised how easy it was to negotiate Supplier Pricing right out of the gate. Was certainly a different experience with the Z when ordered last year!

That's amazing man! Let us know how the V feels after you drive it more.

Good choice for the other driver! I thinking of another car like this.
For when I narrow down the 5-6 girl friends right now to one. Be a good car for stable. For "us" to drive.

That thing looks so sinister from the front. Fantastic color choice too.

Thanks Ron. My intention was to kick some tires and just to check it out and ended up driving away with it when they said they would honor Supplier Pricing!

Very nice!! Congrats and enjoy!! Curious to hear about your opinions vs the Z06 in a straight line. It's certainly heavier but only very slightly down on power...Probably a real beast.

I was going to say the new GT350, man we need the thanks button back. Sweet ride. I didn't even know they were out yet.

No M6 was the deal killer for me. I have a 2014 that I will keep forever.

No coupe or wagon version is a deal killer for me. The V2 and V3? sedans do nothing for me.
