It is a A8. My old car (2013 SS/RS Camaro vert was a manual and I decided I wanted to just concentrate on driving and let the car shift.

I got the 2LZ with the PDR. Didn’t see much value for the money in the 3LZ

I will be glad to get it home. My wife and I flew to Ohio to get her. We spent the night at Wright Patt AFB and hit the USAF museum today and will stay one more night then get up early and drive home. On the way we go pass right by Bowling Green so we have to stop at the Corvette museum then finish the trip. The car looks crazy as I covered the front, rear brake ducts, behind the front and rear tires with track armor tape to prevent any road rash.

I also ordered stage two ground effects and xl mud flaps from ACS. Will get most of the car covered in Xpel ASAP. Loving the car and have so much to learn about it.
