I dont think the RS5 is going to be the "end all be all" a lot people think its going to be. Power is going to come from a massaged version of the outgoing RS4 engine and output is not going to be bumped up more than 30-40hp. Combined with the heavy wait of Audi's AWD system and already portly curb weight, I dont see the RS5 being that great of performer in anything but a straight line and even then its moving a lot of weight with engine that is not putting out much more power than the V8 in the current M3. I guess we will see though...Audi could surprise us
