New Daily Driver!
Well I'm starting to get bored so instead of a millionth set of wheels I picked up a new daily driver.
2014 Audi S5
6 speed trans.
I gotta say I love it!
Driving the Z feels like a chore now 😂😂😂

Nice! Congrats!.
I have a similar daily.. all the bells and whistled and a boat load of power... but the C5 still has so much character. It has "that thing". No way its a chore!

Yep could be. My daily is an S5 with APR stage 2, APR Pulley, APR RSC Exhaust and carbino intake. It's a pleasure to drive but the Euro forums would have the average joe thinking my set up above is good for 440-450hp... But those are Euro Horses as I call them... They like to talk in crank horsepower... I dyno'd 358awhp STD ..the car is maxed out ... A basic bolt on C5 makes those numbers...
Thats why I have the C5... It's a toy... Like I said it's got that thing about it. Plain out fast is just heads and cam away. People see the vette and are like OMFG!! They see the S5 and they just see a regular car...
you'll enjoy that S5 tho as a daily !!

I'm a Miata lover, but I'm married to my C5. I have lust in my heart for many great cars, but the C5 is the one I always come home to (or in).

Goes to show how close minded the majority of domestic owners are.
I remember when I was 12 also and had that mind set.
In case someone missed why I'm on this forum haha
