[s-cars] Audi S5

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

FSI - Doesn't it run at some ridiculously high pressures?  This sounds like
the thing where Audi decided to run their hydraulic pressures higher than
that of a bulldozer for some power steering and brake assists, and then we
are left to deal with the eternal leaks in the system.  I will not buy an
Audi that is not turbocharged while I am still living in Denver, no way, no
how, not ever :)

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!

	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!
