Thanks! Yeah they’re a bunch of idiots. JHM just came in a saved their platform from the fail in the past and they can’t even say thank you… Lol
If I had an S5 and saw that post my credit card would have a few g’s on it right now lol…
12.5 is coming soon for sure which is close to what a bolt on 3.0 with a tune runs just traps a little lower. Pretty impressive from the forgotten v8 s5 platform.
I’ve never seen so many idiots…
The S5 gearing is interesting. Trap speeds suck.
The A5 3.2 will run mid 14s @ mid to high 90s, but the S5 will go 100-102 at best. We have seen some better trap speeds from magazines, but real cars are nothing like the traps in the mags for some reason.
Problem is these guys just don’t hit the strip. Or the track. Or fucking anything. They just polish their cars, lower the fuck out of them and jerk off all day to cat pics. It’s a weird world lol.
JHM has their work cut out for them.
The issue is many of those guys jist have magazine times to refrence. Car and driver and road and track dont go to a certified trwck for testing. For a refrence there times are ok but most of the time they are not accurate. They tend to do road side or airpirt test runs with good equipment but not real deal stuff.
The s5 is dead now but jhm is seriously pumping life into it. I think we will see the real guys come out of the woodwork in the next few months…maybe they just need a few good starter button install threads toget that dforum going
Saki do you know if the S5 gearing is the same as the B8 S4 manual?
Lol at the cat pics…
p.s. when did that thread become A5 vs. S5???
Some 2.0T guy says he went 13.9 in his A5, and he ‘only’ had a REVO tune lol. Sure, a tune that pushes 10 more PSI and boatloads of timing is no big deal. Oh and it’s still over a second slower than the S5 in the video. When did this become A5 2.0T vs. S5?
Then Alkivar says his car is trapping XXX and then shows a 1/8 mile time slip (lol). Also, his A5 3.2 is hardly stock. It had LW front and rear rotors, full suspension, may have had downpipes, definitely had a catback, may or may not have had LW wheels (he has had 5 sets). Not sure what he’s getting at. When did this become A5 3.2 with random mods and a massive driver vs S5?

Unfortunately, the mixture of A5 2.0T and 3.2L posts are going to continue in the S5 threads until the S5 can get it’s own section.
I pointed all that out Saki, 100% correct
The 5 series is mixed with too much range they really need to sort that out. The s5 seems such a small collection of guys…
