Not surprised. They ARE slow. Sexy as hell, but slow.

^agreed

C280 Sport · 11-24-2011, 12:53 PM

I love them. Slow or fast. Its a sexy looking car lol.

Deuuuce · 11-24-2011, 03:20 PM

You sure he was racing with you having 4 passengers (including yourself or 5 occupants)?

mshields818 · 11-25-2011, 05:22 PM

With me a total of 5. Yeah dude he was trying, s5s are not that quick. All I got is a flash and res delete

AKnight55 · 11-25-2011, 05:34 PM

No torque. The RS5 looks like it will be quite quick though.

jgh1987 · 12-12-2011, 02:22 PM

S5 is just boring, exhaust tips are too small too

togaclk55 · 12-12-2011, 03:31 PM

Nice kill

slmasters · 02-02-2012, 08:00 PM

fun

sinister55 · 02-02-2012, 08:06 PM

Very nice!
Ive ran into a few s4's the older ones with the v8, got nothing for the c55's
I ran into an "s6", twin turbo 2.7... slowest car that day in LI

Kevwood · 02-03-2012, 04:27 AM

I'm surprised that you were able to make such quick work of it from a roll - I'm amazed you did it with 5 people in your car. Maybe he had a trunk full of dead obese hookers?

There was a guy at the track with one and down the front straight out of the last corner it was surprisingly fast. I was able to reel him in and get past him without any issues but then again I've got considerably more HP/TQ than he or a C55 has.

So, based on that, you've got quite the kill there pal.

mshields818 · 02-03-2012, 06:09 PM

Yeah but s5s for what they are, definitely can be considered "underpowered."

Kevwood · 02-04-2012, 02:36 AM

That may be and I'm not disputing that fact, I'm just saying that I was surprised to hear that you killed one with ease with 5 people in your car soon after I was racing one on a road course and thought that out of the corner and onto the straightaway it was very quick.

The S5 I was racing against was the V8, we're you racing against the V6?

Again, good kill.

mshields818 · 02-04-2012, 03:15 AM

No all s5s are 4.2 v8s

Despite sharing the same nameplate, the powertrains were different between the coupé and the Cabriolet/Sportback for the 2010-12 model years. The 2010-12 Audi S5 coupé had a 4.2 litre Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) V8 engine that produces 354*hp (264*kW), while the S5 Cabriolet and Sportback have a supercharged 3.0*litre TFSI V6 engine producing 330 HP which is shared with the 2010 Audi S4 3.0 TFSI quattro sedan and avant. The coupé had a choice of either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed Tiptronic, while the Cabriolet/Sportback have the 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission.

I've seen the V6's here. In the end I guess you have an absolute monster of a C55 on your hands there pal, glad I'm not racing you.

No, in the US they are 4.2s still per the Audi USA website AND Audi doesn't have a turbo 6 in the US, it's a supercharged, corporate-shared V-6.

It a roots type supercharger, i thought it was a turbo.
Ive seen supercharged V6 S5's here in new york, So i want to disagree, maybe you have nt seen them yet, but ive spotted at least 3 this past weekend

sinister55 · 02-06-2012, 04:15 PM

Plus the v6 supercharged were used in the 2009-present s5 convertibles...

Coupes or Cabs and how did you know they were V-6s?

Per Audi USA website, no V-6 in the coupe:

Cause I see the headlamps are different and it says superchaged with a red tab on the front fenders, unless they are supercharged 8's which are unlikely, or those audi drivers have been badging them, also unlikely

bmstyle · 02-24-2012, 11:59 PM

The S5 is a classic case of bark and no bite

Deuuuce · 02-25-2012, 04:04 AM

Oh yeah because it runs mid 13s yet is a beautifully styled and equipped GT. Damn POS should run 11s!
