I love Audi's but it seems like you need to pay double for that perceived "luxury." For the amount you pay for a fully loaded Z, all you'll get is the rather weak 211-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder A5.
Actually I test drove a 500HP plus AMG just for kicks...Low miles, and a CPO..

32,000 Dollars...True Luxury and performance to blow your mind...I don't need to show off, so I did not buy it..

Those car lose so much value in the first few years, it isn't funny for the fool that had to buy it new...90 K dollar car, for 32K, after only 4 years...Low miles, and a CPO.

But my Wife loves her Z Car, and I do too..

I spend most of my time in an older truck because I don't need a Car/AMG to show off ...But they are sweet..

And the 370Z is pretty flashy in a sports car kinda way....Not a "look at all my money " Kinda way..

The Audi though.. is a wannabe's ride in general. A 60k car owner challenging a 35k car owner is pu$$y. In the general law of things, the Z should be bringing challenges to the higher up as us being the underdog. I'm pretty sure audi isn't going to 911 guy and asking for a race cuz b1tches always want to race sure things. But in all due honesty. The Z is NOT a sure thing to beat on that audi.
It is a drivers race. But he shouldn't even be worthy of your rubber. Not cuz racing is dumb or unnecessary. But because he's a germaphile douche expecting a sure thing. That's why I say... don't race him unless you are sure you can dust him.
Being sure doesn't mean you need more power. Though it would help. It means you need to race him on your terms in your grounds. A road course you are confident in, make sure you can shift perfectly, and just be ready NOT to lose. There's a lot of cars you can lose to on a track with respect. But. No germaphile deserves victory on a track. Those fools are looking for the easy way out on a purchase. And they see you as inferior.
Truth is... german cars have a lot of track weaknesses that can be easily exposed on a roadcourse if you are the proper opponent. You can give it to him with no gel. But u gotta be ready to take this germaclown seriously and hurt him on the track. Do him in IF u gonna race him, bruh.

Even if you make your time, you have no chance to survive because someone has set that S5 up like the bomb. Even your base unit are belong to him, sorry. :(

Thanks. Hoping to finally beat my stock time soon, but it won't happen if it's 100* everyday like it is now. The closest I got was within 0.03 s.

I have a 2009Sport/Touring AT..

My Z/28 only does low 13's at 105...

What a blast new technology has become....

Personally I wouldn’t waste my time or money on gas with this effen race. You should just show up & let him take off & you just stroll through to the finish line slowly. Your friend is clearly an idiot here. He is not even comparing apples to apples here (a 60k car vs a 35k car….hmmmm). This guy needs to go race a 1M, M3, C63 AMG, & etc (new Mustang 5.0 & Camaro SS will give him a good run for his money). That is like us Z guys trying to race a Ford Fiesta.

Again, missing the point that it's all friendly banter. :icon17:

How fast do you think a bone stock S5 runs? :confused: It wouldn't even be a contest against a stock 5.0. Cost has nothing to do with what's an "apple" in this situtation.

I've don't think I've actually posted those words, just agreed with Steve when he did :roflpuke2:

LMBmikeZ 07-05-2012 04:58 PM
if you practice your launch enough you have a good chance to keep up with him. I have a couple buddies with Audi's the one being an s5 the other a3 s-line but both audis are MT and we find the Z is equally as quick to s5 and quicker then the a3(just wait till I am in the FI club those turbos audi puts in are tiny then I will crush them both:driving:)........but again as mentioned you are up against a AT which will have smother launch, but IMO is kinda boring all they have to do if mash the gas pedal down and it will go no skill with clutch work!


At least you can tell him you have a drivers car (being MT) and didn't sell out for a AT (this just makes it easier to let women drive it :shakes head:)

2011 Audi S5
 
I test drove the 2011 S5 it had a V-8 though. That car could crush anyone. Audi does a awesome job with speed, power, feel and interior comfort. I just couldn't justify the price even on a used one. And I love Z's...it's all in the details. Any rich guy can have a nice ride. Only a few understand the beauty of the Z.

inzred 07-05-2012 07:47 PM
Ah hem....this girl drives a MT. You know, just sayin....

brucelidat 07-05-2012 10:00 PM
I don't see a superhcarged 6 on their site for the s5, are we sure we're not referring to the s4?

svt to 370z 07-05-2012 11:24 PM
This dood 5 houses down has an s5. Every time we drive by we stare each other down. i cant wait to get my f.i exhaust and let him know how it sounds. my cousin has an a5 real nice car but it needs a lil more power i bet the s5 is great to drive.

svt to 370z 07-05-2012 11:26 PM
No its a supercharged v6

2013 Audi S5 3.0T Coupe First Drive – Review – Car and Driver

brucelidat 07-05-2012 11:31 PM
oh, i was lookign at their current models.

brucelidat 07-05-2012 11:33 PM
same engine as the s4, how does the s4 stack up with the Z? could give a gauge, though I wouldn't expect our 35k Z to beat a 60k car in a straight line

Nismodean 07-06-2012 12:15 AM
2013 Audi S5 3.0T
PERFORMANCE (C/D EST)
Zero to 60 mph: 4.7–4.9 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.2–13.3 sec
Top speed (governor limited): 155 mph
Curb Weight 3900-4000lbs

These stats are telling me that they're neck and neck. The Z has power to weight advantage while the Audi has the AWD. Their is no "dude he's going to blow the doors off of you!" with equal drivers at both wheels (be it average or professional) it's all up to the driver IMHO.

brucelidat 07-06-2012 12:17 AM
those numbers seem weak for a 60k car, haha. the auto might be the difference maker like others have said.

Nismodean 07-06-2012 04:48 AM
It's four THOUSAND POUNDS. With horsepower equal to ours (flywheel is 333hp) and with even further parasitic drivetrain loss due to AWD, these numbers don't suprise me at all.

IF thats the case, this could be a drivers race! Again, remember he spent twice a much so even if you two have a close race, thats worth it. I'd laugh till I pissed on his car if you win though. :hello:

Pauly 07-06-2012 06:17 AM
seems like in all the german cars, for the price tag, you get the least get up n go with the audi brand, more than bmw or benz. my wife wanted an audi, but the depreciation sucks, and i cant see paying twice as much for equal power.

DCNISMO 07-06-2012 08:10 AM
Well not long ago, some guy with a B8S4 tried to keep up with me on a twisty back road in MD and ended up in a ditch in my rear view mirror, with his wife bitching at him. That's a lot of mass to move around (inertia), and make stop too. Plus being AWD the driver tend to be a weeee bit over confident. Straight line I think its a wash and driver skill, on a twisty road...you should slaughter him.

Cmike2780 07-06-2012 08:59 AM
Sleep with his wife/girlfriend...that'l teach him.

:iagree:

Some people hear $60k and german make and assume there's no chance for the poor lil jdm. I call bullsh1t. The performance on these cars are equal and it boils down to driver skill. On a road coarse, Z still wins for agility and no doodads helping out a good driver vs doodads making AWD germaphile feel overconfident. Like I said before. Road course, hard and aggressive and throw em in a ditch.:happydance:

:driving:
