I picked up my S5 about 3 weeks ago from Rector Audi. Ordered back in October, identical to the demo cars. Put 1,100 miles on it to break it in, and then took it to a full day of lapping at Thunderhill north of Sacramento. Consistently ran in the 2:20 range and best lap was 2:17. Much better balanced than my 2005 S4.<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/147059/_hop0321.jpg">http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/147059/_hop0321.jpg</a</li></ul>

Hey I got my Daytona Gray S5 from Rector two weeks ago tomorrow. I ordered way before you but changed my order to a custom color which delayed it a few months. The Meteor looks great. Congrats.

I also had an 05 S4 and I too noticed a huge improvement with the B8 platform over the B6.

What a nice car!

Sweet photo, I can imagine that big grin inside your helmet =)

I'm getting ready for my first track day in a few weeks... did you keep everything stock with no problems... i.e. engine oil, brake fluid, pads?

I'll be at Infineon and I think they are 4 x 20 minute sessions for HPDE 1. Just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any problems with the performance.

Do you have any videos?

Hopefully, it's just a reflection I'm seeing there. Did the track take these pics? They're great.
