Now that the mushy stuff is over, I decided to treat myself to a “I beat Cancer” gift. This started the search for a 6th gen to replace my 5th.
After 2 or 3 weeks of search dealerships every day, I stumbled upon this 2016 2SS A8 with only 26,000 miles. I learned that if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. I doubted I was lucky enough to stumble upon a low mileage A8 with a good transmission. Through Camaro6, I was able to track down the old owner, he confirmed that the torque converter went out around 10,000 miles, and was replaced by GM under warranty and worked fine since then. It seems I was lucky after all.
It was already lightly modified by said fellow Camaro6 owner. This begins the mod list:
1. MRR M017 wheels painted silver
2. Drilled and slotted rotors
3. Z23 Powerstop brake pads
4. BMR lowering springs
5. Front lip (I believe EOS)
6. RDP ZL1 sideskirts painted black
7. Painted engine cover
8. GM Performance strut tower brace
9. LT Headers (haven’t been able to figure out which brand)
10. X Pipe
11. American Thunder axleback
