Upgrade from Gen 5 to Gen 6 ZL1 pros/cons opinions wanted

I have an A6 2013 ZL1, nicely modified w/ 677whp and am on the fence considering going with a new 2017 ZL1 A10. Would like your views/opinions/advice as well as pros & cons on the swap from those that have done it. Thanks in advance!

I don't have a ZL1 but plan to at some point. Looks like you have a nice modded car so you may not see any speed gain. I'm sure you would notice the better handling and tighter chassis feel. Trading or private sale of your ZL1? I'm guessing a dealer would want your car plus $25k-$30k. Unfortunately modded cars don't seem to hold valve well. You ok with that? If you want one and can swing it, go for it.

I have to ask if this is a serious question. The old bloated 5th Gen compared to the new athletic 6th Gen? Let's see--lighter weight, better looks, better tranny, better interior, can get more power with mods & did I mention better looks? Get rid of that 5th Gen asap!

You'll be giving up 100hp to the wheels, but dropping weight and geting a much better performing car out of the box with a higher ceiling. I'm sure others will correct me or add to this.
