Next week I will be picking my new ride - a ming blue / melange 2000 4.2, 31 K miles and trading in my black/ ebony 2000 2.7T. Leaving a great car but getting my hands on an even greater car, IMHO. I know there has been a lot of discussion about these two cars but I notice a HUGE difference in power and driving characteristics, stock on stock that is. More road feel with the 4.2 and of course instant response to the pedal. The aggressive look is another thing I like. Can't wait to park it in my driveway. Mods are in the future but a ways off yet.
