I'm always comparing the 370z against other sports cars and recently I've been wondering about the Audi S5. I am not familiar with Audi's at all but it seems to me that purchasing an S5 V8 for 68,000 and only getting 354 horsepower is not much. I understand the build and quality of the car (especially the interior ) is top of the line, but when I look at the Nismo and its 39k with 350hp!!! Obviously to many people its more than just horsepower, but a V8 with only 354hp come on, i feel like Audi could do better? I also wanted to know if a Nismo could hold its own against an S5?
