Am I The Only One That Thinks The P5 Is Kinda Quick?

Please refer to my : I got whooped by a yaris thread

In conclusion, while supremely reliable and very very good looking, the P5 is glacier slow.

 

[Donas64]

Usually with ricer honda drivers when a car looks fast the more they wanna race it. I swear if i'm at a light with my tiburon which looks fast every 1980s civic hatch with a fart can revs at me. I sure you guys know what i'm talking about.

What kinda numbers are you putting out with the S/C Tibby?

 

[sandspeed]

i drove a friend's automatic P5 once......it was slow

 

[JOMO]

It is slow. But I enjoy it. Auto must be worse.

What kinda numbers are you putting out with the S/C Tibby?

around 220 whp on maxed out injectors 190 cc FTL... once I get smaller pulley and 330 cc injectors (in the mail being shipped) I should be around 260 whp. It's low boost right now it's around 3-4 psi.

i rode in a gallardo today, then got back in my p5....and i was like, this blows lol
but hey lambo to a p5, obviously the switch is gonna be a helluva lot different

either way i still enjoy gettin on my p5 and runnin through some curves

and lambos are fun!

I can relate. Got my first ride in my friends new c6 z06 couple nights ago. 0-160 in .6 mi. Donuts for dessert. The ride home in the P5 was still fun though.

quick but not fast, it has some nice torque,

powerband limited to mid rpms.

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

It's way faster than any of my bikes.................or walking................or waiting on someone to pick you up.

 

[ho bag]

It is painfully slow but then again who buys a station wagon becasue its fast? LOL

I admit it does stick to the road very well and if you wanna go fast there is another factory turbo car to **** parts off of to at least get you to 150whp.

People who buy

RS4 Avants (FTW!)

E55 AMG Wagons

Volvo V70R Wagons

Subaru WRX wagons

Saab Wagons

Just because you want practicality does not mean it has to be slow!

my injectors flowed 324.. just had them tested

 

[Salmon_Rob]

yea stock is kinda slow. but after i put a good amount of NA parts, it actually isnt bad. i mean the thing sounds like it has 400 horsepower, but i think it pulls pretty good. it runs in the mid 15's. is mid 15's bad for a NA inline 4? no way!

not to burst bubbles, but probably not mid 15s. probably low 16s/high 15s IF you have header, exhaust, udp, cam gears, etc

and yes. its slow as balls

 

[Cellerator]

It's slow but it's the driver that makes a difference.

im gonna poop on those injectors...

 

[cheapmiata1600]

Easily the slowest car I've ever owned or driven.

I've definitely driven much slower cars before.

an autotragic must KILL this car's little bit of pep judging from people's responses.

 

[aMaff]

Am I crazy for thinking this or what?

Yes

Maybe im just crazy or maybe my coworkers crazy.

Yes. twice.

this is a list of soccer mom wagons. they dont buy them cuz theyre fast, they buy them cuz they cost money and they have money. its a social thing. people think my car was expensive, but i got the uber awesome ford a-plan discount lol.

1. The WRX wagon is not that expensive.

2. The Audi RS4 is NOT a soccer mom wagon. It's too small to be a soccer mom wagon and most soccer moms would never tap its full potential.

3. The E55 AMG would RIP most "sports cars" a new one in a straight line and is no slouch in the twisties".

4. The sport combi looks slick, is quick and is also too small for soccer moms

5. Okay you got me on the Volvo V70R. thats pretty much a soccer moms wagon. Albeit a very fast one.

I love sedans. But having a Dog and hopefull someday 2 kids, I have a huge appreciation for sportwagons or musclewagons. Anything to keep me out of a Minivan or SUV.

I would take this RS4 in a heartbeat over many many cars I love. It's practical, it hauls balls, it handles, is excellent in inclement weather, has an interior thats second to none, and for a family of 4 and 1 dog, it's just the right size. Did I mention that it looks AMAZING!

Take the kids to football practice, embarass mustangs, MS6's, heck just about anything that pulls up next to me short of some exotic supercar or a twin turbo supra on the way home.(glare) I WANT ONE!

You can't tell me with a straight face that the RS4 avant is a soccer mom car.

 

[AlturredMP5]

im 22, you wouldnt catch me driving any of those except the sti wagon. when i get older with kids and dogs, im gonna be thinking less of speed and more of safety, looks, practicality, mpg, and social status.
