Been checking out mods that I can undo to keep my new car stock if I decide to remove them. Always thought the hood pins were cool. **** it if they were not practical.
No way I'd drill into the hood. What do you guys think of the fake hood pins? Supposedly they don't damage the paint when removed later.

One of the nicest paint schemes i've seen on the challenger was charcoal grey metallic with satin black racing stripes with red pinstripe...

It's almost an accepted fact on the gear-head boards that there will only be 1000 of my cars made. They are having issues getting the parts for the 8 speed automatics for this years model. Dodge is telling people who ordered/bought one of those 1000 cars that you ordered the A8 but either you switch to a manual or we will have to fill your order in 2016. Guess-estimates by the gear-heads who are in to this, the guys who work at the factory etc. think there are only going to be 300 at the max of the 2015 A8 SCAT Pack Shakers made. I think I'd get more enjoyment of keeping one of those 300 cars that exist anywhere in the world as it was when it rolled off the line than putting mods on it that I think are cool. I can't really explain it since I've never been a gearhead and still don't know shit about cars.

And are you getting the manual or automatic? And for whichever one, why did you decide on that type of transmission?

Just about anyone with an aftermarket hood, it's not fun to have a hood fly up going 80 on the street, don't ask how I know.

In another thread we were talking about my car staying with the Hellcat in a race up to 90 mph because of the A8 against the manual. After that the 200+ more HP of the Hellcat will pull away. The most HP always wins. I'm not going to race at the track or on the street. I will be able to out run 99% of the cars on the street. Knowing that is good enough for me. I bought the car because it was cool, to me anyway. I have a daily 1.5 hour drive to work. I just didn't want to be shifting in traffic all the time. But, remember the A8 transmission has the paddles on the steering wheel. I can switch to a manual shift at any time. So if I want to play around with manually going through the gears, I can at any time.

Makes a lot of sense for the automatic then. Very cool concept with this new technology. With a commute like that, it would be much more fun to have the automatic anyway. Stop and go with a manual is a real bitch in a big city. I'm lucky my commute is much shorter than yours and over half freeway, otherwise I would loathe the manual. Can't wait to see this thing when you get it! Is the garage hangout still a go and setup or will this thing see the garage for a while?
