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.

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.

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.

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