Coming home from work on the outskirts of town, an Audi pulls up beside me. I usually don't pay attention to the many clowns that want to challenge me at a light as I have had minivans, V6 Camrys, all types of SUV's rev on me. Light turn greens, he takes off and I see this badge that says S8 and another that said V8T. I don't follow all the specs on luxo barges so had no idea what engine was in it-but it sure sounded crappy going by. I know Audis with any power have the quattro awd system. 2nd light-he does it again.
I am like what is up with this jerk? Maybe he wants to brag to his friends that he beat a Mustang. I ignored him again. One last light before I turn off for home-he snoozes at the light. I take off and accelerate to the posted 35 mph limit. About 10 secs. later he blows by at full throttle. So I laugh to myself as he disappears in the distance just as I am about to turn off.
Looking up the specs of the car this morning I see:
C/D TEST RESULTS FOR:
2016 Audi S8 Plus 605 hp
Zero to 60 mph: 3.3 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 7.8 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 13.7 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 20.0 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 4.3 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 1.9 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 2.1 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.6 sec @ 121 mph
Top speed (mfr's claim): 190 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 15
Yikes! Had no idea a boat that size could go that fast
