![]() So, some a**hole (aka. a good friend of mine ![]() ![]() The new S5 is a supercharged V6 pushing, ironically, 333hp @ 7000rpm. That bodes well considering the Audi weighs around 4200lbs, but, crucially, it has way more torque, 325 lb-ft @ 2900 rpm, and all-wheel drive which'll help it out of the hole. Bottom line, Zero to 60 mph is apparently 4.7–4.9 sec, and standing ¼-mile is rated at 13.2–13.3 sec - slightly better than the Z's official figures (but not better than Motor Trend's claims). I have a Base Sport with Stillen Gen-3 intakes. He'll have a stock automatic. Oh, and we live in Vegas where it's hot as hell and are around 2200-2500 ft above sea level. It'll be close. My $35,000 versus his $60,000. What can I do to better my chances and defend the Z scene against such arrogance? Low rear tire pressure? Low gas? High-octane fuel? I've never been into drag, so I don't know the tricks. Haha. ![]() Last edited by Super Tanooki; 07-04-2012 at 04:24 AM. |
