Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

The RS4 is a fat, over weight pig for its size. It would be a great car if it shed 500+lbs

This was a 2006 and it felt like the most insane car I have ever driven. It made a z06 feel slow in comparison. It was too small, too angry and the clutch needed to be pushed more than a foot and a half to hit the bottom.

It was hate and fury distilled into a car and given grip.

 

 

You must have just been smoking the meats on the Z.  No way it could feel slower.  No possible way.  That car should easily eat the Audi.

AWD is sneaky and forgiving, I don't doubt it at all

I'm not sure what add ons it had, but the exhaust sounded like..... Awesome.

That much power made it feel unpredictable with how it would claw up pavement. I think the RS5 would be much more friendly.... And waaaaaaaaaaay more comfortable.

That thing was.... Beyond amazing to drive. Like nonsense. It made the M6 look pedestrian and boring. I don't know how, but it did. And traffic was enough that I could only wring about 70% of the intensity out of it. Maybe less.

The breaks were like a 200ton anchor. It held traction like glue. It was a little bit brutal.... And I liked that.

Actually referring to the F10, but yeah it is bigger. Not comfy, but I am used to a SUV now. Part of the reason I was into the B7.

Did you drive the M5 before or after the S8

I cannot believe you didn't scoop up an e60. This thing is amazing. It is as good as the M3.

Where the M3 is perfect to me like the 911s the M5 is more my personality. Loud and pushy and more fun that it should be.

Drove an S5. I drove the M first as it was down the street at St Paul(Maplewood) Audi.

I did not get to see if I would be happier with a chilli pepper though. Getting into the e60 took some folding until I got the hang of the chair and steering wheel.

You don't remember the turmoil I had picking a car? That one was part of it. At this point even though I want one, I won't since I really don't fit. It is fine for short jaunts around the city, but more than an hour and it isn't comfy.

Ah, I thought after I threw out the $30k S8 you said you had just driven one. If I had to buy a car...

I had that M3 pinned for a couple of the turns. It is waaaay easier to drive. Exhilarating but in a much more secure and calm way.

I felt that the M5s right pedal could cause some serious issues if you let it.

I completely missread that as S5.

S8 sounds fun but out of my price range I bet. LoL
