Well i'm on my way to my sisters' lacross game, and i'm driving on a two lane parkway. I'm in the left lane when i notice some guy behind me is weaving in and out of traffic. I immediately see the Audi headlights, and think, all right lets see how i do.

He gets behind me, after trying to pass me on the right and do the "cut you off maneuver", but the car in front of him and me on the left did not have a big enough gap for him to pass, and then rides me butt until he i'm able to give him room to pass.

So as soon as the car in front of me moves into the right lane i downshift to fourth (i'm going around 70ish, not sure, whatever it was i was right at vtec point) and floor it. He gets in the right lane and just walks right by me. Very upsetting. I thought i'd at least hang with him a little longer. Oh well.


And also to put me in a bad mood, a z4 coupe (not m model) earlier in the day is in the right lane, and i pass him very nonchalantly, he steps on it to pass me in the right, so i downshift and pull up next to him to give him a little of the ol' greddy, and he just drives normal and doesnt try anything. Like why try to goad me into a race and then not race? I never race anyone, and finally when opportunities present themselves they leave me both sorely disappointed.

With turbo, S5 still walked you...?

A Greedy Turbo S to be exact

yeah hes probably putting down about 300. thats a pretty even race if hes lucky. but the s5 will beat it most of the time. but the s5 pulls hard higher up.

354 horsepower @ 6800 rpms 325 torque at 3500 rpm, 11.0:1 compression in a DOHC 4.2L V8 package.

Yeah, i can see why he would walk you. I still think it shouldn't have been as bad as you say it was though o_O Because it weighs 4,067 lbs.

Vik2000

It SHOULDN'T walk you easily. That's what I was thinking. I guess you on a pretty low boost.

negcamber

Even low boost an s5 shouldn't walk even a Greddy turbo s2k...unless the s5 was not exactly stock.

300whp on the s2k is about 345hp in a car that is 1000lb lighter than the s5.

Yeah, that's surprising, you should walk him lol unless your boost is really low.

You know what i think it was, i found a hole in my intercooler piping, i installed rather recently, and never noticed this hole. I think i may have been driving with boost leak. I put a bolt into it, but its just temporary until i can get it welded shut. I guess it was originally there for a sensor plug or something, it was about half the size of a dime. Would that have affected me?

^ yes, big time.
