So the idea of doing some mods crosses my mind and after doing a LOT of reading on this board, I realized tuning is key. So I buy HP Tuners and get a base tune from JRE. Unfortunately the car is 2 tenths slower and loses 2 MPH in the quarter (despite identical 60' times and slightly cooler weather). It goes to show that there's not a lot to be gained on a stock engine.

I decide that I don't like that a base Chevy Cruze has the same shift knob as me, so I decide to buy and install the Hurst shift knob for the A8 for some mad street cred (lol). A pretty humble mod experience compared to what most of the work on this car will end up entailing down the road...! The Hurst knob looks great and feels good in hand too.
