Just wanted to say hello. I just purchased a 2007 Audi S6 with 87k miles. Car had all services done at Audi up to 85k and was in great condition.
I purchased it to replace my 2011 G37S sedan which was stolen about 6 months ago. Car feels tight and fast, but I am getting used to driving automatic again. My weekend car is a 86 944 Turbo which I am restoring and my wife drives a 2011 WRX.

Really like the color.
I have a 2008 S6 but it is in black which I really wanted to stay away from.
I also have a Porsche for a summer car. It is a 1990 964.
My son has a 2011 WRX also.

Congrats on the purchase of your S6 beast. Also, on your project car. the 951 was one of Porsche's best. The high polar moment of inertia of those cars makes it extremely stable at triple digits. Had an '88 951 TS and also an '89. Those years had the larger hot housing and were thus able to put out 30 more HP (PS)up top. They also respond very well to manual boost controllers. The current Audi 2.0 TFSI stole some design tricks from the 951 motor, most notably the Mitsubishi patented balancer shafts. Great to see car guys keeping ageless Porsche engineering still representing on the roads.

Thanks guys.
Car was in pretty good shape and had all services done at Audi through the 85k service. Love the sound of the engine. After market wise, I might just do a tune. I guess there is not much that can be done to the V10
The 951 was my dream car, but after picking it up for 3k, I have already invested another 12k into it. it has a manual boost controller. It should be close to 300hp at the wheels. will probably dyno it at some point. Only pushing 12-15bls of boost right now.
This WRX has been a bit of a lemon. Its my wifes second WRX and she loves it, but the clutch went out at 21k miles and the engine block had to be rebuilt at 37k. A bit disappointing.

My next problem is the MMI, supposed to be looked after on the new year. Our dealer is very busy but the services is excellent. The S4 had a window problem (could not close) while I was on the way to Vancouver, Richmond Audi had really help and fixed the suspension brushings at the same time, although it wasn't cheap.
Just wanted to say, I have really great experience with Audi services and there are Indy mechanics in town doing good work but no services.
I am enjoying my S6 and hope you enjoy yours too.

Welcome to the club. The S6 is a great car and you will enjoy the power and the luxury. The car is understated but when people hear that burble of the V10 heads are turned and questions asked.
My only suggestion is to get VAG-COM from RossTech.com. It will save you a lot of money since you will be able to diagnose a problem and then decide if you fix it yourself or go to dealer and be BS proof since you know what's wrong.
