I see this as very biased german video. EVO magazine says exactly the opposite from this S5 and the video makes it clear that the car has some of those moments when oversteer turns suddenly into severe understeer. And notice how violent he is with the steering to extract some oversteer. The video shows anything but a sports car in terms of handling.
@tRAshJDM now there are two completely different kinds of driving aids..the ones you find in an audi (which stop you from going fast in order to be safe) and the ones yoy find in an evo (which help you go faster)..and judging by Tim Shrick's face and comments...they are AWESOME!! this is what matters...i know a mk2 escort is demanding to drive fast but then again...it's nowhere near as fast as an evo...and the evo 9 as well as the impreza ver. 9 are the last two oldschool cars remaining on sale
@leoapoelellas first of all look a lil bit the new MK6 R20, it won against impreza STI,evo X, and it finished equal with Evo X FQ400 (400 hp against 270) ;) btw. where is your mitsubishi on Dakar Rally?! Nowhere! Nasser Al-Attyah won again, VW won again ;) i am an VW fan, i watched the 2011 Dakar Rally and i saw the Pajero got stuck on a little mixture of water and sand, while a Toyota Hi-Lux was passing him normally ;)
@dsito2 first of all i know pajeros aren't very good off road...that's why i never bought one...secondly VW won the dakar rally ONLY after mitsubishi had withdrawn from the event as an official factory team..and tell me where on earth did a vw r20 won against an a evo x and an imprezza sti....especially an evo fq400!! i mean the r20 is a good car but not evo-good!
R20 vs EVO X: /watch?v=jzwGR92eUZI here the R20 has 1 chip so from 270 to 310 but still the evo has 350 :)
R20 vs STI: /watch?v=EHtlMrR9NeI&feature=related here the R20 is stock, impreza 350
and the last race, R20 vs EVO X FQ400: /watch?v=1yVCO7AVkpA&feature=related here the R20 has 1 chip soo 310 against EVO's 400. For me here is equal but on the finish it seems the R20 is a 1-2 meter faster... let's say it is equal. :)
@dsito2 first of all..anyone could post a video on youtube and write anything he wants about the cars horsepower..i could write that my opel corsa has 1000 bhp...second: if the golf is chipped it's faster on a straight line than the stock evo..and by no way in hell an r20 when when it's chipped it can beat an fq400 on a straight line...only if the evo's driver mishifts 2 gears!.bottom line..look at videos of best motoring and see STOCK cars competing and you'll get an idea of what's what..
@leoapoelellas soo now anybody can write fake horsepowers when a golf is winner? and you're a dumbass when you say go to "Best motoring...". Come on man an R20 has 270 hp, FQ400 has 400 hp.... stock vs factory tuned, you're blind or what?! It's obviously that stock vs stock and FQ400 is faster :S it's like to take a stock SL63 AMG and a EVO X. you can't compare like that ;)
@dsito2 first of all the fq-400 is a limited edition model only for UK market..so the video you saw at best motoring had a stock evo x sst not an fq 400..and second of all..man if you can't tell the difference between an fq-400 and a stock evo you have no idea about cars...and if i'm not mistaken you also said that the evo was fwd as well!!!who's the dumbass now?
@leoapoelellas look i know that a fq400 is limited, second i didn't tell that the evo is fwd, it's awd. and third i know the difference between stock and fq400. and fourth I WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT BEST MOTORING BUT ABOUT THE DRAG RACE I LINKED TO YOU?! IS THAT CLEAR NOW?!
@dsito2 and i quote "the quattro system is the best AWD and everybody agree, soo correct me if i'm wrong but i think the awd system is better then fwd"...is this one of your previous comments???or were you not refering to the evo??cause my eyes show me that the two cars on this video are the evo and the s5..and since the s5 is the quattro one the evo has to be the fwd one doesn't it??you stupid mooron..and as i said..the only chance the fq 400 could have lost is beacause the driver mishifted!!
@leoapoelellas okay look i don't wanna talk with you again cause you're boring and a moron. The last thing i will say is that Mitsubishi isn't anymore japanese, i mean Peugeot is his BOSS, soo French people now can do with that what they want ;) still it is producing in japan, but Peugeot is his BOSS ;) screw you asshole
@dsito2 when someone knows his stuff his a mooron now?? and as far as i know the EVO, because that's the car we are talking about, is 100% japanese...so screw you and next time you try to look smart on youtube pick someone who is less inteligent than you...and judging by your last comment this time you didn't...
@dsito2 of course you do....judging by what you told mw so far the only thing you know about cars is that they have 4 wheels...knowing about 4 wheel drive is too complicated for you...idiot....
@tRAshJDM i have eyes you know.i saw what car finished first...and by a long way ahead of the bmw..and judjing by your nickname..you are just another "fuck japan europe rules" ingorant bastard who doesn't know what he is on about...and at this point you'd expect me to say "fuck you" and "fuck european cars" and bullshit like that...but i'm not...i'm an automotive engineer and i know which cars are good and which ones are bad..i can prove my points using physics..not just talking trash on youtube
@tRAshJDM why don't you tell me which car won the last enduro challenge then???? evo 8 mr comes in mind??...and btway the rx-7 won in older enduro challenge...wow...rx-7..the most reliable and durable car in the world right??reliablility and durability are not proven over a 20 minute race....they are proven over a 20 year period...and as far as i know (beacuse i live in cyprus and the lowest temperature is 15 celcious in winter and 45 in summer) evos are really strong!!!
Dsito didn't even know the Evo was awd so don't even waste anymore of your time typing leoap. You clearly know more and dsito is just trying to keep up. I love Audi and Mitsu and currently own an Evo 10, I went with the 10 to offset the non luxury interior and look of the 9 and still out perform audis the vid clearly states that it's a select consumer that will drive the Evo and I'm proud to be one of that group although I love audi's as well, the Evo 10 is perfectly fit for me.
I would take the S5, yeah the EVO would be fun, but the Audi is dynamic and fast, And you can use it like a normal car on normal roads normal everyday driving...Plus, it's an Audi! :)
The Mitsubishi Evo wins because it can vector torque between rear wheels, but the upgraded S5(V6 one - currently on sale) has even more sophisticated AWD system and differential setup because it uses a clutch based differential in the rear that's more efficient than the one in the Evo.
no it's not..believe me..i"m an automotive engineer..super active yaw control is way more sophisticated than any audi quattro system...and more reliable as well..i love the s5 though!
@sspope i think tim shirick said enough about the car's handling..and he is a racing driver not a mooron like you..oh and btway why don't you check out how many times mitsubishi won the world rally championship and tell me about the engineering..
@sspope btway today's fast audi's are made for posing and going fast in a straight line..cars like the evo or the imprezza are made for wining races..
@leoapoelellas i see you commented on every comment posted here, soo i will clear your mind a lil bit ;) the quattro system is the best AWD and everybody agree, soo correct me if i'm wrong but i think the awd system is better then fwd. if we talk about quality audi again wins cause german engineering is way better of japanese, and still if you look 2.0 turbo and 4.2, soo bigger engine, more complicated but still more stronger and it can do a lot of km without repairing anything! Audi 1:0 ;)
@dsito2 both cars are 4wd;-).quattro is a 4wd system developed 30 years ago and it uses a torsen diffenrential at the centre and two differentials front and rear..the evo's 4wd system is way more advanced than the audi's. it has an active differential at the back with AYC, an active differential at the centre and a limited slip front differential..as diffs go you have the simple differential(the ones audi has got) then limited slip diffs and then the much more complicated active diffs...
@leoapoelellas look the audi's quattro system is made for all roads (like the model of the audi Allroad) ;) the evo's 4x4 is more based for racing, the audi's is more for road and less for race ;) but still i would choose the audi, more history (of the maker), the materials of what it is made has better quality so that's the result of this audi that is more expensive. the evo is nice too, but this are 2 different models, audi is luxury, evo i would drive without to be careful if i scratch it ;)
@dsito2 and as for reliability and longevity??!! haha!!! i can only laugh at what u said...german better than japanese?? especially at this case?? mitsubishis 4G63T is widely known among mechanics and tuners as on of the strongest engines ever made along with nissan's RB26DETT and toyota's 2JZ-GTE..if u don't know what i'm talking about (and i'm 100% u dont even know what You are talking about) do some research and then start talking crap on youtube..
@leoapoelellas amm man shut your mouth, al this 3 engines aren't better of S65B40 soo please, if you're goin' to comment somethin', first check better of what am i talkin' about, ok?
@dsito2 and where exactly have you checked mr expert??drift championships?dragstrips?time attack races?tuning shops?tuning magazines?reliability surveys?cause all of them say one thing....JAPAN RULES! plus the bmw engine is not old enough to be proven reliable and durable..i suggest that YOU check better what you are talking about and then comment on youtube..
Evo wins over S5 but I wouldn't be so sure about S4 which is currently the best handling Audi ever made thanks to its new electronic diffs and lighter 3.0 supercharged engine mounted behind the front axel.
I see this as very biased german video. EVO magazine says exactly the opposite from this S5 and the video makes it clear that the car has some of those moments when oversteer turns suddenly into severe understeer.
