IMHO I think the RS5 would beat the SS pretty easily on a road course. But, the SS will beat the RS5 for sure on a drag strip.

I have driven the S5 (the new 3.0 supercharged one)and i can tell you that it really hides it's weight very well. It's weight distribution isn't that bad as you make it seem (52:48, although one source states 58:42 and no info about weight dist on the official Audi website), and weighs ~3800-3900 lbs depending on options.It also feels very nimble because of it's trick 'torque vectoring' rear differential. |

lol...Its the RS5 that has the awful weight distribution, not the S5. the RS5 was weighed by Motortrend in their recent comparo against the M3 and CTS-v to be just shy of 4000 lb and have the weight distribution be 58/42.

Not exactly the comparison requested, but I happen to own an S4 and have an SS on order. I'm certain the S4 would win on a sufficiently twisty road course while the SS would definitely triumph any drag and maybe a less technical road course.
I'm not sure about the S5 though. It is a little lighter than my S4, but it has a diff engine orientation and therefore weight distribution. Also has the supercharged V6 from the newer B8 platform, whereas my S4 has the 340bhp V8 from the B7 platform. Either vehicle has the edge on the Camaro with the Quattro awd. |

Just checked lapped records at the NRing and it looks like a B7 RS4 went around in 8:09. Edmunds took the SS around in 8:20. Eleven seconds around a track like that could come down to driver skill level though. I'm also a little out of date. The cabrio S5 has the SC V6 but the coupe has the same V8 as mine. |
