Traded in the Genesis Coupe for an Audi S4!
 
Put the genesis coupe back to stock this week and found a killer deal on a CPO S4.

It's a 2013 with the Stronic/DSG/Dual Clutch transmission.
Also is the Prestige model which includes the Nav plus, side assist, adaptive headlights, Bang & Olufsen sound system and the advanced key. It also has Fine Nappa Leather, the sports diff, 19" wheels and carbon inlays.

I've had a smile on face all day driving this thing. I'm not huge on automatics, but the DSG transmission is absolutely incredible. It shifts wicked fast in dynamic mode.

Here are some pictures I was able to get today after I picked it up and was running errands with my wife.

What an incredible upgrade. Your genesis was really nice but these are gorgeous. Any plans to mod it at all?

jzamorski113 12-07-2013 10:34 PM

Nothing crazy yet. I want to drive it for a while to see what I want to do. In the spring I'll probably do some springs and a new set of wheels/tires for the summer. Other than that, I'm not too sure.

i see you found one! it seems that black is 50% of the available cars out there !

what did you end up getting it for and welcome to the club :) i love mine

jzamorski113 12-08-2013 02:49 PM

got it for 47k, which appears to be quite the steal according to KBB and Edmunds for a CPO '13 prestige.

I just drove my wife's civic to the grocery store in the snow...so frustrating knowing that I have a S4 in garage. Need winter tires asap.

jzamorski113 12-09-2013 11:33 PM

Thanks to the guys at FAST for getting me winter tires in like 3 hours. Blizzaks are on and the amount of grip is absolutely unreal.

This winter will be fun. Actually excited to drive to work in the snow tomorrow.

Glad we could help out!! Enjoy the snow!!

One of the bosses just got a '14. The DSG is pretty fantastic as is the rest of the car.

The DSG impresses me more and more every time I drive the car. My emo levels are definitely lower sitting in 202 traffic with the dsg compared to the 6 speed in the genesis coupe.

Also, I ordered a Roc-Euro Intake last week. It should be shipping soon, because they can't make them fast enough for all the orders.

I guess that will be a Christmas present to myself! Supercharger whine!

Replaced the V6T badges with the Supercharged badges

I need to get a better picture not in the garage. It really ties with the car much better than the dull silver lettering from the V6T badges.

The intake was delivered yesterday. I was going to wait til Thursday to install it since I am off then, but I decided I was bored around 11pm, so I went down to the heated garage and installed it.

Here is a sound clip of some revs once I got to work this morning.
This is from inside the car.

Big Update here

I've driven the car for a few months and highly enjoy it.

I purchased the following for it to make it even more fun:
-Forgestar CF10 19x9.5 with a Titanium finish wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
-AWE Catback exhaust with Resonated Downpipes
-BC Racing BR Type Coilovers
-GIAC Stage 2 Pulley and Tune with a Transmission tune as well(improves the dual clutch clamping pressure, redline, and general performance). The car is wicked fast now.


Here are a few recent pictures and a video clip on the exhaust from the garage(need to get a clip under load still).

Exhaust video(sorry can't figure out the embedding):

I'm hoping to get an exhaust clip soon of the car driving with a go-pro. The supercharger whine and exhaust are incredible now, especially that I can roll the windows down in the nice weather!
