i didnt really want to make a thread about this or mention it much since i wasnt able to video tape it, but i've got my word and his word and his proof of working for GMG and having one of the fastest twin turbo S4s ever as my proof.....but basically, i have a friend who works at GMG racing who had to return an S5 that they were working on back to a dealer (not going to mention which one) and he called me (around 3pm today) and told me he was in the area and wanted to run. So we did, with poor conditions: hot day, poor road quality, not an actual straight away, and i never managed to launch my car, though he launched his everyime. By the way, im not down for street racing but this was just too interesting to resist, i mean come on......a chance to see what i've got against the brand new S5 that i hadnt even seen in real life before!

The results of my TT and exhuast equipped 335i coupe vs. the audi S5 without me even launching and just using DS mode instead of my paddles was this: we ran about 4 times, and every run we were tied until 50-60 and then i'd pull away like nothing, a nice 4-5 car lengths before stoping at around 100-110. Though its not fast, the S5 is damn good looking in real life, like wow, i'll give it that. Looks so mean from the front in your rear view mirror!

So if it hung with you from 0-60 and its not fast, neither is your car.

[renasis]

wow, lucky you man, love to race one too. Thx for sharing

See, this is exactly why i didnt really want to post this...theres always a guy whos gotta start hating. I didnt say my car was fast, but obviously faster then the S5, which is an S. Fast is F1 cars, LP640, Bugatti, Carrera GT, or other cars running 0-60's at under 3.5 seconds and doing 1/4 miles under 10 seconds.

Yup... someone always gotta put their dumb .02

OP: cool story! Too bad you didn't get to drive it?

[BzsBimmer]

We'll see more youtube vids soon of these 2 cars racing.

It's nice that you were able to see his grill from the rearview mirror!

Looks like all bark... no bite

[!Xoible]

i like how it looks. the 335's turbo tho seems to have a lot of potential, i couldnt let it go :/

[nyc335i]

hey thanks for posting...now im confident ill rip an s5. I was just having an arguement with my friend who thinks the s5 is will dismantle the 335i like it was an accord or something.

[FunRevn]

How do you like your Turbo Tuner?? And would it have been a close race if you were without it?

Thanks for sharing

Modern cars 0-60 race sometime does not prove how fast a car is until one start pulling away at 80-90+....

lol froth you are just the most negative prick on this forum, id like to meet you in person some day just to see what is wrong with you that makes you so relentlessly obnoxious. he said he didn't launch hard, you have amazing selective reading skills that you utilize in your replies...

yeah but im sure the s5 costs more and short of a full super charger system couldnt hang with this 335's chip/exhaust...

guys just cut the bullshit and dont go off topic

i was there when boost nation raced him (followed behind) and was very surprised by the S5 not being as fast as i thought it would be. too bad it was a last minute thing otherwise i would have brought my camera.

[Neema]

^^^ thanks for the verification nico, i didnt want to bring you into this since i knew people would start BS debates about this, but thanks man. So there it is, nico was there too and can vouch for this. The only thing interesting about this thread and my race is that I think im first one on the forum to actually race a new S5. Other then the comparison tests by magazines and tv shows between the two, i dont think many people have had a chance to race one, or even see one on the road. As if you guys thought the S5 was supposed to be faster then a lightly modified 335 anyway, should be no suprise to you guys. I mean damn, its heavier and only has 354 hp at the crank with no tq comparing to a twin turbo car.

Thanks for the thread Boost. Nice to know that the S5 isn't really worth $12k more than a 335. I know I know, speed isnt everything, but why does Audi continually make pigs out of cars?

i dunno man but i gotta say that that S5 looked sooo good though. The seats and interior were amazing and the front end of that thing looked like something outa Minority Report or some other futuristic movie. When we first met up he was in a parking structure looking for me. He was on the phone with me and was like "oh there you are, im behind you." Man....when i looked in my rear view my words were exactly as follows, "oh shiiitttt, damn haha dude that thing looks nuts!" It had this crazy row of LED lights built into its head light assembly and they were the only things on and MAN IT LOOKED HIGH TECH! deffinately a pretty mean and beefy looking car on the road, from the front atleast. Even he said, "Man i think you'll rape me, this thing feels really heavy and has no torque."

He deffinately knows a thing or two about cars and their dynamics. He works at GMG and has had 2 twin turbo S4's both which have pushed out over 500hp and were TOTAL track monsters. Fully gutted, Moton racing suspenion, forged magnesium wheels with carbon fiber barrels! and the works. He's got videos all over youtube and he's well known on Audiworld.

[Neema]

tell you what though, that things row of LED lights inside the headlight assembly puts our E92 angel eyes to shame haha, especially since the e92 angel eyes dont even light up right haha.

I test drove an S5 yesterday and it was amazing. If felt so much quicker than my e46 M3 did right out of the gate, it honestly almost felt as powerful as my M6 does. The roar of the V8 was awesome. The interior had too many buttons though, and I hated the plastic trim on the doors, console and seat bottoms though. I am sure it can't be as fast as a 335 though, because like everybody says around here, nothing can be as fast as a 335

good story.. thanks for sharing this info..
