Cool short story I know.

I saw a clean black S5 riding my bumper in a little bit of traffic. Then I let him pass and got on his bumper. I hear him go full throttle because of his exhaust, I proceeded to go WOT as well, within 3-4 seconds I had to hit the brakes because of how quickly I reeled him in. My thought process was there was no way he went full throttle. So we lined up and at about 45mph we went on 3 honks. I beat him by about 2 cars maybe a little less.

At the light he says "that thing is quick!!" I told him I was Stage 2 and he said he was stock besides exhaust.

A very clean 2016 S5, maybe this result was to be expected from some, but I'd never raced one.

Cool dude. Good race.

A stock B9 S5 might be a better match up for sure

But even then ... the new 3.0 v6 turbo is rated at 354 at the crank. Probably puts down 300ish whp and it's still weighing 4000lbs

A stage 2 GTI should walk away

did you just assume a VAG correctly rates their car's power? at the crank too? lol

I know they underrate them! So they could def dyno more since they actually put out more at the crank.
BUT....
The thing still weights 4000lbs. Almost 1000lbs more than the GTI

The new RS5 would be faster with the 2.9L V6 twin-turbo (rated at 444hp according to VW/Audi).

Which generation or year did you race?

Good kill OP. My friend had a tuned S4 (2011 model) and that thing moved, but it was pretty heavy still

So he told you he was 100% going for it all the whole time? It's amazing the in depth conversations you have with all of these competitors

I raced like a 2013 model year, I believe it's the V8? They only trap at 110mph.

That's also the motor that loses like 30-40whp due to carbon buildup from DI.

Audi's fault, not my fault they get slower. LOL

HAHA right I was thinking the same thing. People just give me the finger or wave that's about it.
