Just drove the S5

Just got back from my Audi dealer and had about a 20minute test drive in the S5. Very Very Very nice car i love it. The interior is amazing as well as the exterior. The only thing holding me back from trading in my 335 is the lack of power in the car. The car drives fantastic but it feels like the power is deffinatley lacking. I wish they put a little more power in the car and i would have traded my car in on the spot. Audi did a great job on the S5 and the pricing is reasonable as well. We dont have anything to worry about the car will get killed by our 335's. Im still thinking about getting it

Do you know how much BHP and LB-FT of Torque it has?

And, if power is what the only thing missing, I hope they bring out an RS5.

2020 BMW M4   [10.00]
I was sooo tempted to do the same a few weeks back. I was going to the dealership to pick up my new car (see my stolen car thread). You have to drive by the Audi/Porsche dealership to get to BMW and they had a gray S5 way up high on one of those big pedestals. Looked pretty sick. I love the design..not thrilled about the performance/price ratio. Drove home with my 335i with a huge smile instead The car seems to be getting quicker and quicker as the breakin miles rack up.
