Peak torque doesn't really mean that much, in and of itself. This was also the case when he was talking about the E90/92 M3, which "only" had 295 lb-ft torque.
Both cars make up for it in gearing, and the Audi is pretty much guaranteed to get it all to the ground thanks to AWD. The DSG in the Audi is also way better than the Camaro's auto.
If you're going to compare on specs, then you need to compare ALL the specs, not just whatever is convenient.
OP will need a really good launch, then the SS can make up for the RS5's holeshot and quick shifts.
