what is 5? you mean old body audi's? yeah they are fastest down here... it's all about tracktion and the fact that they run around 800 BHP... There was one S2 with MC (engine from olt 10v 2,2 turbo engine) that broke Lithuanian record that day 9,96 but into development of that car went ~40 000 GBP so there's no wonder it went like rocket
