Ouch...my 06 went down hard too...some jerk ran a red light by 4 seconds and t-boned me at almost 100km/h....tore the front end off...somehow I walked away pretty much unharmed except for some Chiro visits for my neck...
How did you make out injury wise?
I knew I wouldn't get an Audi fit/finish in the 5.0 but I will retract the majority of statement now....it is a really beautiful interior in the s550's....the German interiors may be really nice but no VW or Audi I have owned or driven has ever had an interior look as singular minded as the...
Seem to have read a lot of that in the vortex forums...there was a lot of us former 5.0 guys who moved to the R for better build quality and a premium interior...and AWD of course....but that turbo 4 never put a smile on my face like my GT's did....and this is my favorite car I have owned so...
I knew what I was getting into with the GTI and R but I didn't think I would miss the 5.0 that much...loved my 2011 but it's build quality was crap...not as bad though as my o6 GT...
I am very impressed with my new 5.0 so far

Sorry for the delay...crazy day
I admit, I had some buyers remorse with the GTI...the R made up for that with the added power and the AWD was a lot of fun this winter....BUT just like you said....v8 v8 v8 v8....having had 2 GT's, I couldn't resist this deal...and everyday driving to work I would always see the same 3 15's (2...
Nothing wrong with loving your 5.0 that much...I am 45 and for the first time I have decided Iwill actually store the car next winter.
F150 is a great choice for your second toy!
Thanks...it truly was a deal I couldn't pass up...now my core group of lifelong friends who all have muscle car collections can stop nagging me to get back into one :)
Thanks Stresstest...appreciate the kind words...will try to upload photos tonight if I have the time ...3 month old baby girl at home keeps me a little busy ;) at night and also out of the garage away from my other baby :)
And no baby seat will ever go in the stang...buying my wife a new...
Hello,
Long time lurker....first time poster...
I was driving a beautiful AWD Golf R which was a blast in the winter this year...car was fully paid for and great on gas for 300HP...bought another 5.0 on Saturday as I couldn't pass up the deal...54,500 list and out the door for just over...
