Default Audi S5 vs ISF

Had a Audi S5 roll up on me. That car is pretty quick. I had to let hear my V8 to tell him to chill. (i love the sleeper look)

I then looked up the S5 specs, and it is on par with ISF. I was surprised.

I have gone head to head with a few. They will not take an ISF

it was dark when he rolled up on me coming down the street, I kept him on the corner of my eye and was waiting for him to start his move. He took off on me, and caught me off guard.

RS5 will put up a challenge.
Tuned S4 can too.
S5, no.

The first 60 mph from a dig, sure. Because of AWD. After that or a roll, it's not close

Am I missing something? I checked the specs and it is at 333 HP and 325 TQ. Is this considered on par if it's about 80+ HP in difference?

These Audi specs get me too...??? I had an A7 take off on me and was lightning quick, I hesitated a bit and it was simply gone. When I looked up the specs it's only 310hp? Am I missing something????

A car's speed and performance is more then just horse power. Audi engines are mostly turbocharged so their torque numbers sometimes match/ are above horse power numbers. I would say that torque is just as important (or more important) then horsepower. Factor in the weight too..

Are you looking at the V8 - 4.2L or 3.0L super charged numbers?

V8 is about 350 hp, 6 cylinder is 21 less ponies


V8 engine was dropped in 2013

RS5 is about 450hp

A7 I saw was badged 3.0 Lets say hypothetically it was the V8 version would it still outrun us? That 3.0 just took off, I cringed now after looking at numbers. That driver must think he can outrun IS F's now...

is there a list anywhere on here that shows what our ISF can take and what it can't take? I'm just curious. I've only been in an F for about a week now.
