I challenge you to a race Sir on that note in my BLACK car. And to make it easier, I'll multi-task whilst driving.

space grey, way easier to maintain than black.

I would but I very much doubt either of my cars is any where near as quick as an S5*. I know my limits!




* there is scope for some banter about how my fundamentally rearwheel drive cars may be able to beat what is essentially a FWD design with a heavy V8 engine hanging over the front axle (with instrinsically nose heavy** understeer prone handling, despite attempts to 'tag on' drive to the rear wheels). But given you're still >100bhp ahead I'd look a bit silly.




** OK, that's just Audi stereotyping. Evo: "The A5’s true significance is that it’s the first Audi to get a new front/mid-engined layout, where the front wheels are pushed forward, and the engine back, to give a more balanced weight distribution, keep the major masses inside the axis of the axles and improve the handling. And, to keep unsprung weight down, there are aluminium suspension components front and rear."

I'm afraid you are all incorrect. Michigan blue has been proven in scientific tests, to not only be the best looking colour on an E92, but also the fastest, by a significant amount...

FACT.

Space grey all the way!!!

Lol get your point.

There is a tad of detectable understeer imo at low speeds, but nose dive is minimal even under heavy braking.

What is noticeable is the fact the differential is there and transfers torque between the front and rear axles to counter traction losses, but also between the rear wheels. Faster you go the more power is directed to the outside rear wheel and to be fair even on the stock suspension I've got (haven't got the optional drive select), the car sits squat and using the power of the engine you really can keep everything tucked down and push on into, through and exiting corners.

Could never go back to FWD tbh. AWD or RWD for me.

Should say Bluewater as that just came out of my mouth from nowhere when I ordered my car! Prior to that it was Space Grey all the way for me
