Default Finally - my first Vette (with pics)

Hi guys,
at last Iīm a "real" member of this great forum:
11 days ago I finally got my Vette : an 08 coupe A6!
Itīs a little different here in Germany, but itīs close to your 4LT.
I already had some mods: a complete Alpine set (IVA-W505R with all the gimmicks), Eton speakers,
coil over, 342 6-piston MovIt brakes (front, Iīm still thinking back - depends how the first Nurburgring trip turns out) with 20mm spacer, special exhaust, transmission oil cooler.
Rims are powdercoated black.
Iīll mod the interior a bit (2-tone caravaggio-wheel and some 08 Carbon parts incl. cc - I simply donīt like the 4 LT gray ).
Today (after some 1.500 miles) I really pushed her for the first time up to 180, and she did great, but I really like the fact sheīs a great cruiser as well.
Man, I LOVE my car.
So hereīs some pics ( not too great, they really donīt do her justice, but still...

Default Hey I wanted to ask

how the autobon was in Germany. Some say it has a speed limit around 70-75mph and others say one can go as fast as they want in the passing lanes. Is there much police presence on the highway.

Great looking car! Are those the competition grey wheels or a darker color.

Thanks
