.. and if you modify your 3.0TDI with ECU you can get something around 300-320BHP and 580-650NM. That means that it would keep up with the S5 V8 and at the same time you would think that TDI is much faster thanks to massive amount of torque and quite strong pull. Still, would go for the S5.

After 3 years in modified 3.0TDI and 2 months in S5 V8, I don't think modified 3.0TDI is faster by my feelings.

It's okay, according to my feelings S5 V8 felt slower, of course that is only a feeling. There is no doubt that the acceleration itself is faster. There aren't many cars that felt fast after my car, even the RS5 didn't feel as fast as I expected and I was leaving the car with a feeling of disappointment. I am sure that in any case, S5 V8 is more of a car than the 3.0TDI and as I said many times before, this was my only diesel car. I am already looking for a replacement. Congrats on your S5 btw. There is far too many A5's on the roads now.
