-- Audi B8 S4 vs. Corvette C5

[Simply Red]

PWNAGE HERE





I test drove one (a 4.2) last week, and as clear as I can tell it is an utter badass ride, also my next one, without a doubt!

interesting matchup, never mind the spam, it's not the intention.

Thanks, if you get a chance to watch.

Except you can still daily drive the C5. Can't do that with a kit car. Nor do you have to build your own C5.

I got a set of Continentals earlier today, they're nice, real good looking tire.

No, I get that, but they still didn't even launch their cars, which is why it's stupid, even with the video seemingly making them slower. It just wasn't a fair representation of what either car is capable of doing. Given equal HP, that Vette should have demolished the S4. Bad, bad drivers in both cars.

The vette actually had the jump, but I agree on the drivers. Regardless as an Audi advocate, It was quite quenching for me to see.

The new mid-sized Acuras are finally dope and fairly fiesty.

They're not even in the same league as any of those cars listed, and it's not even close. Those all run at least low 13s (or are one mod away from doing so) to deep in the 12s. An Acura would be low 14s at best, and still be FWD.

Not sure how used you are looking at but a Nissan GTR may fall down there.

Can't afford, even used. I'm talking $30k and under here. I don't want another car payment, so I have to keep it cheaper so I can buy outright.

I like them a lot.

Got me before I revised my comment. Maintenance on a few of those could get rough. Particularly the Ms.
