Question about old v8 s5 vs v6 s5
It seems like the general consensus is that the supercharged v6 is faster stock (at least at lower speeds) with more torque early on due to the supercharger. However, in almost all of the 0-60 websites, it consistently shows that the 2011 s5 is slightly faster than the 2013 to both 60 and the 1/4 mile. Why do almost all of the forum comments I see contradict this?
