My Ride: 05 545i
Default

So yesterday i was on a freeway. And i see this Audi so i jump in front of him (i didnt cut him off) and punched it, So he guns it right behind me. i was going roughly around 50mph up to 130 mph the faster i went the farther he pulled back. Once he caught up i got behind him then he gunned it and so did i. this time from 70 up to 120. over all it was a complete TIE. i have to say i am very impressed with my 545i STOCK!

At first I thought BS. Then I looked at some numbers. HP TQ and Weight are almost identical in both cars, so it makes sense. Surprised the 545i only weighs 3lbs more.

What is there to be impressed about, both cars are about equal.

That's like me saying I'm impressed that I was able to keep up with a 2008 550i....IN MY 2008 550i

If I hadnt looked up the numbers and you told me to guess who would win. I would think a 09 S4 would beat a 05 545i.

OKAY i have to apologize for false info. It was not a 2009 S4. it was a 2010. Now if you tell me thats not impressing. i dont know what to tell you. if you compare a 5 year old car versus virtually a brand new car. with all that money saved i can buy another 5

Your 2008 550i will beat the 2010 s4. its a 3.0 supercharged 333hp 325 lb torque . i find it crazy audi dropped the 4.2l v8 from the previous 2008 r-s4.

2010 S4 is more of a 335i class

It has nothing to do with the build year of the car. Horsepower is horsepower. I'm sure an e39 M5 would not be impressed that he could keep up with (beat) a newer e60 545. The 2010 S4 is still about equal in power to your e60 545i.

This was done on a closed course....correct? Cause 130 on public roads is not just unsafe but also shows pure stupidity and immaturity.
