What are the specs on these things?
I was following one the other day on a road trip.....
He punched it from 80-85 mph, and I would quickly catch up with him. We did this several times, and I would catch him quickly every time. The last time I pulled along beside him, and he punched it, and of course I do the same.....and effortlessly I leave him behind. I was doing 120-125 when I let up..and he was 2-3 car lengths behind me in the mirror
Cool looking car....but I would of thought it would of been quicker

Hmm... The S5 with a decent drive should beat you, may be he didn't try hard???
Are you sure it's not the A5?

I've seen the 0-60 for the S5 as low as 4.6s which was pretty surprising considering it "only" has 354hp. Not sure of the weight though but it's gotta be in the 4000lb range with the quatro system.

Yes..it said "S5" on the rear end. Maybe he didn't try hard.....although why bother if you aren't going to try
