Joined the 4.6 club:

Just saying hi:

Decided some time ago that I wanted a 4.6 (it was either that or a Cayenne GTS- in the end, the Porsche lost on looks, interior and price)

After lurking for many months, reading, researching, and driving every 4.6 I could find, one kinda fell in my lap- '03, 64K miles, Dinan supercharger, cold air intake, strut brace, exhaust & chip. Bought it from a dealer, don't think they quite knew what they had.

Drove it 700 miles home last week, runs stupidly strong. I previously had a stage 3 B5 Audi S4, and this car is every bit as fast. The mileage, well...nobody wants it for it's fuel economy.

Had a "post purchase" inspection- other than needing a new battery and a tail light bulb, even the tech was shocked at how clean the car was. Cherry, inside and out. As far as I have found, everything works, too (Literally EVERY other car I drove had something that didn't work- central locking, air susp, window motor, etc.) Oh, I need floor mats. Yeah.

Look forward to the collective expertise of the forum as I get to know this car.

VERY nice! Interesting to see the 168s on the car instead of the style 87s.

Dinan SC 4.6is' are incredibly rare. I can't imagine more than 30 or 40 of them were ever installed. I have no proof to back that up.

The 4.6 is a beast... enjoy it! Start learning about the trouble areas before you have a major problem!

OMG what a find, Dinan SC! Low miles! Oh my, you are lucky.

Those aren't 168s, I think Type 177? But don't quote me, I know Big "J" runs those on his Imola 4.8is, great looking wheels!

Confirm. style168 is the 4.8iS wheel.

I should know, I have 168's on my X so I know them when I see them! Haha, OP those Style 177's aren't seen much so you have a rare Dinan supercharger and rare wheels too

And like tmv said above, maybe we can get more than 1 picture????

Thanks guys- I'm loving it so far- Sounds like a really angry muscle car, runs like one, too.

I love the wheels, too- It was a nice surprise to find one without the standard 4.6 five-spokes (or cheesy aftermarket stuff, which seemed to be the only two options on the cars I had seen previously)

I'll post more pics as soon as I get a chance to wash it- been pissing down rain here for a week, so it's filthy - I had forgotten how much work a black car was to keep clean.
