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?

audis are nice, however, they are really heavy. i wouldn't mind having an s5. i wouldn't take one over a touring sport/nav Z, but comparing it to a nismo is a big difference. the nismo is a spartan, track-esque car (that can't actually be tracked without mods). the audi s5 is a grand tourer, and i think it does its job well. Now, the fact that you can get a used GTR for as much as a new S5, then theres no comparison, s5 loses.
