They're pretty mental, I test drove one before I bought my S4, I ride a motorbike and it's the closest performance to that, in a car, that I've ever experienced.

They don't quite slow down as fast as a bike though, so I'd watch your braking distances ;) It's caught me out a couple of times in my S4 where I accelerate past something and look down and I'm nearly in triple figures after only a few seconds when I look down at the speedo (quickly ;) ), then it's time to brake for a bend :aargh4:.
