I am sure it can't be as fast as a 335 though, because like everybody says around here, nothing can be as fast as a 335
Welcome to the world of twin turbos An extra 100 whp is just a tune away. It pisses alot of people off because they didn't know how much easier it is for us (turbo guys) to get big HP gains from just a software tune.
It's an unfair advantage but why shouldn't we take advantage of it...

I agree that was the dumbest post I've ever read.

I have driven both cars. Stock vs. Stock the s5 is faster than a 335. Modded the 335 is faster. The s5 is a much better looking car and has a way better interior. If there is an rs5 coming out, I am buying it.

S5 is my next car, its sexier than the 335, even if it is a bit slower who cares? .1 to 60 is not something I am going to have to worry about on my daily drive to school 30 miles away. If you want a sexy GT car go for the S5...

It's only slower in a BMW forum, go to the Audi forum if you want it to be faster than a 335. Count to .1, say it out loud, betcha can't in .1
