what gen? the following observations only apply to the gen 1(?) - till 2017. I've never driven the newer ones. You trade some aural style for some substance with the refresh.

If he uses launch control it's not a contest, and if the race is to extra-legal speeds it's not a contest. Stoplight drag race from a 1ft rollout though... it'll be close! The Audi pulls like a freight-train as it revs up, but the cars feel pretty similar in the low end. I guess that makes sense on the spec sheet too, as it's got the Kia beat on HP but vice-versa on TQ, and the weight is pretty close.

Well, then I've got no anecdotal experience but the internet tells me you might be in for a loss here. Let us know!
Its a MONSTER ! , probably do the race in 3 or 4 days
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Money on the RS5.
 
Yeah. One day... I want a RS5 Sport back. Dreaming haha.

You're going to lose. Bad.

Your car is stock? My guess is you'll be at least a second slower/10 cars behind in a 1/4 mile.

I'm not hopeful ! I've driven it ................it's in another league ..................
Surreptitiously pull one of the coil packs on the Audi before you race... Win!

hahaha. Love the stinger of course... but rs5 for sure... we compete more with the "standard" S5 sportback.. not the full on RS :D .

RS will destroy stinger.

If it was the NA V8 RS5 you'd take him but not the new TT V6, those things are potent.
 
You will lose badly from a dig and also loose from a roll. You need a well modded Stinger to keep-up with those beast.

a Stock RS5 is a sub 12s and would probably be able to beat a few (not many) of the Stinger in the top 20 1/4 list. From a roll all of them should beat the RS5 thought.
