But the A5 is 40HP less and a single turbo.

Go figure the OTHER part!

Other part is QUATTRO. I do with chipped 530xd 6.1 (1.850 kg), you also need grip to start from 0

We have been there before, Quattro's advantage is in the wet.

Real world testing shows it does not match RWD in the dry.

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

For all wheel drive, that's engineering!

Where are you getting stats from ABC? Audi website?

Might be a faster car, but that doesnt make it the BETTER car.

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.
The E60 is a Top of the Line produce.

Very comfy, really nice to drive and close to a perfect car in my meaning,
but the 525i is not a fast car!

The 535d/i and the 550i are, as is the M5...

I'd have to disagree. My E39 530i Sport and my current car are both fast. Sure, they go 0-60 1 second less than the 550, but when I get up to 120, I'm going fast and the car is in control. I guess it depends on your definition of fast...
