My Ride: Expected delivery on 15 Jan 2007 525I Olivian Green, Beige Interior, PP, CWP, PDC, SP, Rear shades,heated rear seats, Ipod fitted, Nav, Oem Rims 166, Xenon Lights, Wood grain package, illuminated door sills
I went out for a joy ride today on the AUTOBAHN, and decided to push my E60. So I put it in DS (Drive Sport) and hit it. I got up to 137mph before the wind started to get under the car an push me around a little. But still at 137mph I had Audi station wagons flashing me, 
. I had a Porshe 911 infront of me that I was drifting behind, and he was moving. I have to say that even at that speed that the car handles Excellent 
. I didnt have to turn the steering wheel much and didnt have to hold the wheel tight. So I figure before I ship the car to Atlanta in may I better get all the speeding out of my system.

The A5 3.0 V6 TDI Quattro DIESEL does 0-62 in 5.9 seconds and the S5 Quattro in 5.1 seconds.

The A5 Diesel 0-62; 5.9.... my 535d 0-62; 6.5
Different classes of car but those Audi A5 figures are IMPRESSIVE.
