Long story short after I purchased the car the front timing cover needed to be resealed as it was leaking. Audi dealership had a "certified" tech that could do the repair. He ended up causing a ton of issues rather than fixing anything including a cam cap installed incorrectly causing the camshaft to seize, crank damage, and multiple other problems. Car is now at my Porsche dealership I wanted it at originally getting a brand new long block and front struts.
had the car on track over the weekend. With better tires and brake pads it'd be hanging with most of the fastest cars there. But the reality of it being a 4500 lb car was too much for my poor pads and I had to ease into the heavy braking zones more than I like to. I'm looking forward to taking my 2800 lb E36 M3 out next time, but this car was a blast. Rotating the car through corners was something I didn't really expect.. that was fun.
got some good photos from my track time last Saturday. It's not common to see Panamera photos with the spoiler in the second stage.. love seeing that angle.
