Newb from Raleigh
Hey everyone newb from the Raleigh NC area. My name is Nelson I finally pulled the trigger and jumped into a vette. Its a 98 AW coupe A4 with a few mods 
It was more of a strip/street car that is now going to become my street/strip car. Plans are to do some interior work, such as seats,carpet,lighting etc and quiet the car down a little. Also a set of street wheels and tires are in the near future and putting the a/c back on as well. Hope to meet some cool peeps!

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the replies! So far I've been loving the car. I got a killer deal on 18/19 black c6 z06 replica combo with nitto invos from a buddy of mine so those are the wheels for the street setup, and I have the draglites for race duty. All I have are some crappy cell phone pics at the moment. Tomorrow I'm having the targa top and b pillar wrapped in gloss black, and the tails and side markers will have removeable black tint over them as well. Sorta going for the storm trooper look.
First one is on the way home, no tags and radials in the rain is the reason for trailering. ( car is driven to the track and home on the drag setup)
All cleaned up the next day.
Only shot I have from today at the gym of the street wheels (car is filthy from track)
Track wasn't prepped all that great and cars were having trouble hooking. I had to let out and get back in it on this pass, but I'm happy for the first shakedown run Also never ran a pro tree so my r/t was terrible lol.
