Audi S6 Avant Wagon -- What can I do with it?

I was lucky enough to come across a 2002 Audi S6 Avant with 22k miles. What the hell can I do with this thing. I'm thinking there must be some easy and proven mods... My first Audi... I know it is not a 6-speed, but man do I need help.

Advice?

As for performance, you can supercharge the car, not exactly an 'easy' mod. But it will make quite a difference. I have seen one in person and it completely transformed the car

They are hard finds. v8s. all autos. got some ***** to them. exhaust will open up the v8 a bit. supercharger is pricey but unreal!

I would do minor upgrades and use for a pimp daily. you will love it for a daily.

PES just released their supercharger. Same motor in my S8 and I love it. Filter and exhaust makes it feel a bit quicker. RNS-e for factory nav and bluetooth. Wheels and KWs help because both the s6 and the s8 have a rebound on the stock shocks that is a click too fast for me. My friend has his s6 for the past year and loves it.

Rims are the last thing for performance and yes, he found a 2002 B8 which is very, very rare....in fact it doesn't even exist

What's better is he found a practically new 7 yr old car that you hardly hear about let alone ever see.

First, does yours have the air suspension? One nice thing that will actually improve the response is a full exhaust kit, i.e. downpipes and all. Not sure if they make an s6 version but the APR full kit is great and better long term than Milltek as far as the cats.

A suspension kit and the little bits to improve handling would transform it too. You could make an excuse for wheels by relegating your stock rims to winter set up.
