Fast Fridays 2014, Part 2

,


While we see Audi S5s everywhere, the RS5 is much rarer.  On first glance, it doesn’t appear to be that different, save for the black out grill, revised bumper, quarter-inch (5mm) wider fender flares, and the fact it sits only a tenth of an inch lower.  But under the hood, this sucker sports the 4.2-liter V8 found in the base Audi R8, but with 30 more horsepower, at 450 bhp.  Its gearing and traction propel this stock car to a 4.0-second 0-60mph.  Now that’s a sleeper!

 


We talked about variety at these meets earlier.  I mean, what’s a car meet without its assortment of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Vipers, and late-20’s Ford Model B’s…

 


…or original Mini Cooper Wagons…

 


…or Austin Healeys.  Hey I recognize those Panasport wheels from my Alfa Romeo days (okay, I know I just sounded old to a lot of you), or an Integra Type R (I love that car).  I suppose they told people with old cars to park by the old mailbox (do they still use those anymore?), which somehow snuck into the picture.

 


Another close-up of the Austin Healeys.  These are some tiny cars up close.  I'll bet that's an ANSA exhaust or something.
