anyone have the new S5 v6?? how do you like it? what do you thnk about hte S5 droptop?? i think its sexy and would love to get one.

 

I just saw a V6T cab...looked pretty sweet. The V6 is waaaay nicer than the V8. You would get my kudos.

 

how so? You mean low end torque and gas consumption?

 

In a real life driving test, it felt a lot faster - great power delivery. The 4.2 has always felt lacking to me (am I about to get lambasted?). It is also more easily tuned and yes, it gets better gas mileage.

 

Not at all, ive driven turbocharged (or supercharged?) cars before and they always seem to feel like they are faster. But they also lose power much quicker. The smaller engine + turbo combination would definitely make it feel more snappy.

The 4.2 doesnt flex its muscle until much later. I just like the sound of the V8 though

 

Yeha i noticed on my s4 that it gets the big power at higher rpms, but then its almost time to shift. I dont like that.

 

exactly. I dont mind too much myself. I wanted a car that had power when i really felt like pushing it, but was comfortable to drive if I didnt want to push it.

When Im cruising around and keep the rpm low it drives beautifully, when i step on the gas, the beast lives. I found that previous turbo boosted cars required frequent gear changes and the low end torque was not enjoyable.

I guess it depends what you want out of your car.

 

Thats why i love my benz c36 and most the benzes. they got power from 0 to the red.

 

True, raw power that is. Not really controllable on our winter roads here in Montreal. But a C63 just passed me today, man that sound is hot.


Also I cant ever drive a sports car automatic. NEVER !

 

Jazz you are ****y
