I had a 1999 Audi A6 Avant AutoMAGIC 2.8. Now, this is a 2002 Audi Allroad 6 speed 2.7T. Twin turbo. Put K04 on it and I'll be running around 450 to the fly. Couple things here and there and close to an RS6 performance. Nut it's my daily driver so...heh heh heh. Drives great in the snow yesterday. Adjustable air suspension. Lowest I believe is 5.9 inches off the ground and highest is 8.2 inches???

Hope so. It might be the tranny fluid. I tried STOMPING in the clutch instead and it works great.

2.7T engine... drool...! Does it have the same thousands of problems as the 2000-2002 Audi S4s? I was really set on one as a DD but it seems like these cars spend more time in the shop than our E60s...

Honestly, the problems would be simple. I checked. The 2.7T has came out for a while and simple things like the diverter valve needs to be changed, the Y boot (throttle body boot), needs to be changed. K04 upgrades aren't as expensive as you think. K04 with upgraded clutch, intercoolers, etc probably about $4000 installed? Or $5000? K04 are RS4 turbos. Then u'll have about 450 at the crank and not to mention u can add meth.

But DEFINITELY get a 6 speed. Audi autoMAGICS likes to play some disappearing magic tricks for you.

Not too many. I recall in a HK movie, Francis Ng (???) was driving one.
