[s-cars] Saw my first A5

I was very impressed with its look... better than in pictures.

I had no trouble staying with him.? Just before he exited in Bozeman, he opened it up.? His acceleration stopped abruptly at 132 (according to my GPS) at which point I drove up beside them and gave a thumbs up.? We had had a fun 20 or so miles through the mountains.? I must say that for an "A" (not S) car, it was remarkably poised at high speeds through the turns.

I'm not quite sure why Audi is ditching the hair dryers right now.? With current gas prices, you'd think the focus would be away from big V8's, and back on to smaller turbo engines.

Probably the nicest looking Audi that is being sold now, IMO.

If it's just an A5, there's no way he could leave a Stage 3 1.8T. Even the S5 can't do that.
