Well, I knew the time would come. 37 degrees Fahrenheit, raining and really loving the Michelin X-Ice Winter tire package from Tire Rack. When I had my C6 Corvette, I would not have dreamed of going on spirited back road driving trips and it would sit in the garage for long periods of time. With the quattro system and winter tires the S5 is now my daily driver AND weekend toy car.
Here is a pic I took today while pumping gas on the return trip from Las Vegas. Sorry the car is filthy, I thought the lighting was good to show off her drop and how well the 10mm spacers fill in the wheel wheels with stock 19" wheels.
About 900 miles round trip and the ride wasn't bad at all even with the drop springs.
I must also confess A friend and I decided to see who was faster, Him in a 2014 S6 and me is the S5... From an 84 mph rolling start his car only slightly pulled away from me up until around 120 mph before we ran out of room and had to stop. btw his S6 puts out about 430hp so around 80hp advantage. He never got more than 1/2 a car ahead.
