I Bought an Audi A6 4.2 V8 with a Manual Swap! Drove it 500 miles from ColoRado to Utah

In this episode of Auto Afflicted I’ve made a bold decision to sell my beloved Porsche Cayenne for a classic Audi A6 C5 V8 that’s been manual swapped and I’m taking you along for the ride.
Watch as I embark on a journey from Denver, Colorado, where we’ll pick up our high-mileage Audi A6 C5 V8, known for its legendary V8 engine and timeless design. You won't want to miss the moment we lay eyes on our new ride for the first time.
But that's just the beginning! I then hit the road for an unforgettable road trip from Denver to Salt Lake City, taking in the breathtaking scenery along the way. The route includes the stunning Loveland Pass and the awe-inspiring Independence Pass, offering you a front-row seat to some of the most beautiful landscapes the Rocky Mountains have to offer.
I’ll share my thoughts on the Audi A6 C5 V8's performance, comfort, and reliability during this long-distance journey. Will this classic Audi live up to its reputation, and how will it compare to my trusty Porsche Cayenne Pepper?

What a way to get familiar with a new car! I’ve been busy, can’t wait for the big reveal

"We're going like, I dunno, 55..." LOL. Well played. ;-)

Perception based speed senses

Even my D2 S8 was sucking wind at some of the higher altitudes. Colorado is beautiful but a bit of a tease for the NA cars. My RS2d UrS4 was lots of fun there although I was still aware of the altitude HP loss.

True, this one was acclimated from a long life in CO 🤔🤣 twin turbos would be nice

Great video AG, what are your opinions on the 4.2 I’ve heard mixed things about it what are your thoughts?

[@AutoAfflicted]

I’m about 30 days in now. Def limited on tune ability but it delivers good torque and the power is there instantly which is nice, pulls all the way to redline. Sound is awesome! The chassis is pretty good in the twisties. Full review video coming
