Looks like Tow has been banned...guess who it must have been?

I do know that the A8 shift points have been adjusted to help with cooling and overall better performance.

IDK I've never drove an A8.....just asking.
Gregg, I have a 2016 Stingray Z51, A8, built 10/2015. My NPP in Sport mode is quite pleasing to the hear. Upon cold start a nice burble. Warmed and traveling around town very throaty. On the highway, same.
