My damn near stock 1998 z28 vs 2008 Audi s5 4.2L v8
Well, just got back into town from vacation in the Okanagan (British Columbia, Canada )Tired as all hell from a long drive home in my brother's pickup.
I picked up my car from the parkade all excited to finally drive something loud with a standard shift Sometimes a break is a great thing, you can get jaded when you drive one of these every day!
So , I pull up to a stop light on my way home and who roll's up next to me but mr.neck tattied shirtless euro douche in his $60 K msrp 2008 Audi s5 4.2L v8.
I feign a yawn when he looks over at me..not really sure why but it seemed to **** him off haha. The light turns green and neither of us launch right away. A couple feet in and he smashes the gas on his Audi. I do the same. Of course , being AWD the Audi starts to put a few cars on me in 1st - 2nd. I can hear the "snick , snick" of his standard transmission and his 7000 rpm isn't doing me any favours right now. I also happen to be in the far right lane which is badly crowned, this is not helping my traction situation!!
I red line it in 2nd, slam it into 3rd and start to pull HARD on Audi boy. 3-4 car lengths and I let off the gas. 3rd gear really is the money shot with this car . I rev match down shift into 2nd with a "snarl, pop" and Audi boy zooms by with a depressed and confused look on his face. I give him the thumbs up but he looks away.
Whatever, he started it. Not my problem a $9900 car just beat up on his luxury sports car. I have long tube headers, off road y pipe and a lid for power mods. ..and my car makes 304.6 rwhp on the local dyno dynamics with our **** elevation here in Calgary , AB of 3,556 feet

Yeah s5 with a 4.2 is pretty slow. Very heavy. I mean id rather go fast in an audi than my camaro. I had a b5 s4 before my 02 z28. The US versions of audis are nerfed pretty hard.
Good kill none the less. I never understood why people are snooty with slow vehicles.

The high elevation here is also a bitch but its an even playing field for us N/A guys. Lot's of people go turbo here for that very reason.

Yeah drive train loss on awd is alot. and that 4.2 only makes 345 maybe. They are super expensive to mod. I think a blower for it is like 15 grand. Only makes it a low 12 car. Seems all fast audis anymore are diesels oddly enough.
