This is why I like the S5, it has enough power for street driving.

When you have cars going sub-3.5 seconds, this is what happens with too much power ..

I test drove a CTS-V with 556 HP. I was unprepared for my tires braking loose when I put the pedal down at around 30 mph and the back end started sliding out. Luckily, I know how to drive and quickly regained my control, but it shows how dangerous too much power can be.

Granted, I want to supercharge my S5, but at least that is AWD.

GotRS?

That is fairly funny, and lucky, 4WD certainly sends you where you're pointing very quickly.

The driver of the CR-v , old white guy, sure got out quick to write the license plate down... too quick! video can be used against him for future claims of "back pain" haha.

Stupid logic. It was the driver at fault, not the car. An idiotic driver could do the same thing in a car with 100 hp.

Sure, stupid drivers can do stupid things in any car. But a small error in a car like a Lambo leads to bigger consequences than a small error in a Prius - much less room for error. Which is why people with sloppy driving habits can go for years in a "regular" street car without suffering the consequences, but put them in a super car and they get bitten real quick. Maybe it's just coincidence, but also in the news this week is David Ortiz of the Boston RedSox - "Big Papi" - who got in an accident in his Audi R8 doing a similar manuever - pulling out of a gas station. Hint - bad things happen when you floor the accelerator from a stop with the wheel turned. See: http://content.usatoday.com/communit...m#.T65IRL_-vHF

I bet you don't read the news - I can tell how ignorant your comments are. There are many Lambos, Ferraris, etc out there going out of control, because drivers underestimate their power. I'm pretty sure you haven't driven a sub-3 second supersports car - you have ABSOLUTELY ZERO KNOWLEDGE - just stick to your 2.0 4-cylinder engine. Here's another one

Hence, "driver error".

BTW, you had be surprised to known what type of cars members here on AW have driven and have sitting in their garage. We all know how much you love your S5 coupe but keep in mind that not all members here have to share your POV on it.

The first time I had a 3 00 horsepower car and went to pass someone it was like holy $#/&, but the only way to learn is to ease into it and not be stupid, after a while you get use to the available power, then you know when to use. :-)
