98 C5 A4, 176,000 hard miles. Started drag racing it at 20k miles, and it is raced 2-3 times a week usually during the season. Went through a few trannies before building a strong enough one (Greg muscled a few in back when:D), but the rest pretty much just keeps on going.

It runs low to mid 11's on motor (330 RWHP) and high 10's on a 125 shot, and it is driven daily as the shop truck.

Tearing it down in the next month & rebuilding everything....the rack is getting loose & the motor is starting to get a little loose as well.:thumbsup:
 
Bought a used 06 a6 in Jan of this year with 4500 miles. So far just a oil change, now has just over 7150 miles.

But plenty of mods are planned, headers first then heads cam.
