3 seconds is hardly what I would call a shame.
i always though 3 seconds on a track is like a lifetime

With laptimes of over 3 minutes, 3 seconds ain't too bad. Like I said in my review, the S5 doesn't feel much stronger than my G37. Its just that the overall experience is much nicer (as it should be for $20k+ more)....

I sort of agree with you. It's a great car, very sexy. I delivered a few of them in the last few months. The car sounds great but definitely feels faster than it really is. Granted I was driving a customer's car I didn't open it up or push the car, which is probably why I felt partially let down by it's performance. I guess I'll have to take one for a longer test drive without limiting myself to see what it can really do. For looks, I'd prefer the S5, but for performance, the M3 all the way

Glad someone tried it out! I was curious as to how it was. I personally think these S5's are great!
