[s-cars] Audi S5

[Postupack, Jeff]

Taka:
 
My comment was corrected by Ez Veedub, "Audi S4 doesn't have FSI V8,
only the RS4 has the FSI V8 engine."
 
and I might add the 2.0 A4 uses FSI.
Yes FSI does improve efficiency, I cannot quote an accurate MPG figure
above the B7 S4 V8.
 
Thanks for the opinion on the S5 weight, "She's So Heavy"  The Beatles!

I'll dig more to determine actual.
 
Tiburon Jim?  oh man, yer making me vomit!


Jeff

	I'd put money down that the S5 weighs more than 3600lbs.
	
	With the V8, I'd doubt that it's Haldex- I've only seen
transverse Haldex
	implementations so far.
	
	Wouldn't the FSI actually improve fuel economy? The 3.2s aren't
too shabby for
	the weight of something like an A6!
