Any chance against an S5???

[Mdrew]

My buddy is picking up an Audi S5 with the 4.2 V8.....does my 2015 SHO stand a chance from a dig????

Well, since it weighs in at 3,600 pounds, is AWD and has similar stated horsepower (354)....

No, stock to stock you don't stand a chance.

All's not lost though, throw a tune on the SHO (W/ 3bar, MAP & stat) and you should smoke it from a dig!

How much does your buddy's girlfriend weigh?

 

[13blacksho]

What year is the S5?

What year is the S5?

S5 is a B8 chassis, made from 2007 to 2011 (with the 4.2l V8). No performance changes from 7 to 11 that I can find.

Also, the V8 was only available in the coupe, also the lightest variation of the B8's.

How much does your buddy's girlfriend weigh?

LMFAO!!

HAHA! not nearly enough I fear.
I believe it's a 2010...definitely before they switched to the blown 6 cylinder.

 

[BamSHO]

Just go and spank his butt!!

Won't be an issue of you have a tune

 

[OmaHahn]

The V8 S5 will "barely," beat you (stock vs stock)! Even though he may win, I think it would be funny that his 2-door coupe with a sweet sounding V8 BARELY beats a huge 4-door family sedan!!! I also own a Audi S4 with the 3.0 supercharger so I love Audi but it is what it is! Go race him and tell us what happens or video it!!

A video would be sweet!

 

[Mdrew]

Haha yea he just picked it up last weekend so I'm sure he'll be chomping at the bit to run em soon! I'll definitely post results and try to grab a video.

And then a tune?...

 

[Mdrew]

That's definitely the plan...
Just deciding when to pull the trigger. Not to mention how to tell the wife I'm going to spend $700....yikes

After getting it, you'll be ****** about every day you waited!
NOT TRYING TO START A WAR HERE...
I was saving up the $700 for a 3 bar and Livernois tune, found out Unleashed was $400 and went for it!
Obviously Livernois knows these cars inside and out and does a phenomenal job with them... I couldn't come up with a complaint about Unleashed if I had to. The cars that my 4,400lb tank can tear down is almost mind blowing! Not to mention way to much fun

 

[Mdrew]

That's a good point. I've had my eyes on the LMS tune obviously. I guess I'm gonna have to browse through some old posts regarding LMS vs unleashed. If there's no MAJOR differences, $400 sounds way better to get my baby over 400hp!

 

[13blacksho]

a friend of mine in town has a 2013 and just got his 93 LMS tune and we plan on lining up as soon as the weather looks decent.

 

[Mdrew]

Nice. Be sure to report back with results and any noticeable comparisons in the 2 tunes

YES! Subscribed! Can't wait to hear results? Video would be even better!!!

Can you send a link to exactly what to order from unleashed?
