370z vs S5

yaheard · 08-17-2011, 04:37 PM

Not gonna lie, I love my Z and all but the S5 is a sick car. Always liked them just toooo pricey for me.

KillerBee370 · 08-17-2011, 05:02 PM

Borrow my Z and lay waste to him at the track and then laugh at him for wasting all that money

Just depends on driver skill and the track. Some advantage goes to the S5 due to AWD and greater torque. That combo with help it get drive out of slow corners, but your skill could make up for it. With a nearly 600 lb. weight advantage, if you can carry more speed into a corner, your exit speed should narrow the gap and give you the chance to out pull him going into the next corner. Have fun - you can do it!

Oh yeah... If you don't want to get laughed at you better get an oil cooler installed before track day buddy...

Go to the track run lap times and compare... each person also drives the other guys car for a session and record those times... best times overall wins! this will negate driver error.

I am rooting for the 370z lol does he want to race my G37 hehehehe!

1/4 mile will be a drivers race. On a Time Attack/Road course, he got you beat.

Audi S5 vs Nissan 370Z - FastestLaps.com

The S5's torque keeps it in the race but the Z will prevail!

you car is nearly 15-20K cheaper, handles better, and is a lot more appealing to the eyes. This guy already lost. He can join the ranks of all of the yuppies driving 3 series and C class's.

The S5 is a sexy car, and just cause you want more of a luxury car doesn't mean you're a yuppie. Gotta have respect for other great cars, no need to hate.

Not hating , my previous car was an 07 SLK , I can honestly say im happier with my 30,000 dollar sports car then my 54,000 sport car. I respect everyones opinion though. Just biased towards my Z

Well, if the guys trashing the Z, then he sounds pretty Yuppie....

i raced my cuz in his s5 w full exhaust, lowered, wheels and tuned and i beat him. but its bc he cant drive well. As long as your a good driver youll have a good chance. Hell at the track i stayed w a Porsche GT3 RS the first day. (then he beat me lol)

An experienced driver in the Z will beat the enhanced Passat. Nothing against Audi, just most of its drivers.
