WooHoo - Just picked up my new P5 last night...

I'm coming from a 2000 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and man I'm impressed by this car.

Full comparison to follow later, but I think this little P5 has a lot to offer in comparison to a car that costs 10k more.

Anyways, I modded that car, sold it, and now I'm off to mod this one.

Life is good.

Vital Stats....

I got the Silver metallic (wanted yellow) but it was the only one on the lot with a 5sp.

Out of the 8 options avail, I got ABS/Polished 16's/Moonroof/6 Disc/Carpeted mats

Not sure about mods yet, just getting into the whole P5 world. Coming from the A4 world I can tell you it's pretty damn different. Also coming from a 1.8T, I could drop a new chip in and boom, more torque and HP.

I'm really not terribly interested in the speed, it's more handling and some tweaking. Since Jackson isn't going to make an SC kit for the car, aside from a turbo kit there's not a ton of paths that I've found so far.

Anyone taken a P5 to an auto-x? How's it fair compared to say a WRX / Impreza wagon?

Don't I know it... My Audi burned a hole right through my wallet and straight through the floor board.
