Well Hello There Horsepower Lovers!!


Isn't It Weird?

Well yeah trust me it's not nice working on fancy cars! Okay I'm lying it is but once you get behind the steering wheel and drive it it's not that fun. I mean it is but when the realization hits you of "This is not my car and I'll likely never drive one."

That's a hard one xD! Never say never but still the idea remains the same. (I know a simple S5 Audi isn't exactly the most fancy of cars out there. It really all depends on which class you dwell. Isn't it? Because for rich people cars this isn't a rich people car, it's considered a poor mans car (To them of-course, to me it's a rich man's car xD Fuck yeah!)

For those wondering, yes it's one brought into the shop. We worked on it about three years back. Can't find anything wrong with the transmission even though it's pointing to the transmission (The fault on the computer) but it's origin is from elsewhere it just ends up buggering the transmission around.

A Two Door Beauty!

Unfortunately I can't be looking at two door cars at the moment! Nahhhh I am planning something xD Laughs! Anyways! She is still a beauty!

Now people who can own one of these comfortably tend to fuck them up real good, at-least over here in South Africa it seems like a contest? It must be? Check out how badly damaged the rims are? I mean dang dude how even?

The entire car around has spots and dents and it even looks like she was driven in a hail storm! Still beautifull ey!

That Butt.

It's damned gorgeous right! Those four rings standing proud above their creation! And to think that these are still the smaller of their cars! There are some real big boy beasts out there!

Now for the rear end, phat and low is what we like with four exhaust ports! Okay it's actually probably just two! They have these extension stuff they add on xD Laughs! To fool the kids!

One day when I grow big and when I don't live in a farmy place anymore I might buy me one of those!

Ooooooffff The front end is actually damn smaxhy as well! Isn't it?

What Boggles Me!

Now listen to this! Or imagine this, or whatever!

When I moved this car into the yard I gave it a light throttle down and this thing bit down real hard and pushed me back into my seat! I am legitly talking about a light foot!

Okay so if this thing bites down so hard... How hard does a Ferrari or Mclaren bite down, then we can go even further and ask how hard a Bugatti and a Koeniggseg bites down? Just imagine the sheer power that travels through your body with the touch of a throttle! It can't be something small! It just can't!

This is a mere 3.0 liter V6 (However it is both turbocharged and supercharged!.... Nothing all that major! NOTHING THAT MAJOR! there are much worse things out there! Stuff that would legitly rip up the tarmac!

I'd Like To Get Use To This!

I'll be honest here! I wont mind getting use to this! I'd purposefully open my door in parking lots and such to have a stair at them! Like seriously I'm not even joking, I know it sounds whack as fuck but damn these are beautifull! And I've said that a thousand times already!

Whelp, one thing is for sure. These going second hand, I would be able to afford!

Yes, Audi makes great cars. Drove an A4 many years ago, and the quality in all details was awesome.

The quality is really immaculate! We have a A3 in the shop and that thing is lined out with leather suede seats the works! It looks nicer than BMW and Mercedes, it really does. There is no two ways about it!

European cars are still a bit of a headache for long-term owners here in the States. Any Audi I can afford is hitting the age where preventative maintenance costs and part replacement gets expensive. I'd like to get my hands on a decade-old Ford Mustang with a 5.0L V8 though.

Yeah I can see how that is a problem in the states... that is the thing, when they become affordable there's a lot of unattended to maintenance... the good thing for me is that I can do the labour myself and that alone is making it so much more worth it (for me)

Those are some pretty mustangs, although I wonder if you got them in manual transmission

Mustangs are still available with 3 pedals now. The 2025 Mustang Dark Horse is a special edition with 500 HP and a 6-speed manual!

Laughs there are a few here but I bet a lot more there in the states, mostly everyone here takes them in the Auto.

That Dark Horse is absolutely beautifull! What twists me is the price tag it's only 64000? (I say that like it's not a lot of money) but only? That's like 1.13 million in ZAR for me. (Which is the price of a house but still xD I mean the Ranger is about 700K in ZAR?

I lived in Germany for a few years and I got passed by more audi's than any other type of car.

Supercharged and turbo'd?
The turbo takes over at higher rpm's?
That thing must guzzle gas, as it leaves smaller motorcycles behind.

I bet the Germans built these cars for themselves 🤣

I am assuming the turbo takes up at higher rpm because of the turbo LAG...but then what? The supercharger can't just cut out (maybe it can) but I wonder if they work together then spooling a fuckton of compression into the chamber!

I think this one has the ZF 8HP transmission
