It is quicker, there isn't a question about it, it's a faster car than either the RS4 and the new M3

That is surprising to me to see the 60mph times unless the M3 really isnt as hard to hook up as some might assume. Beats me. I dont think it should be surprising it is a bit quicker though overall as it has similar power, significantly less weight, and loses 10% less power to drivetrain loss. Regardless I agree the M3 drivers who really want the performance will have to be damn good drivers to make that car dance. Quattro is much more forgiving and can make a bozo look good (thank god for that, hehe).

Maybe so but the RS4 is better in the rain/snow than the space shuttle

less dangerous too : )

Yea.. I talked to Gustav (in the M3).. He says the pass is more like around 100mph

0-60 and 1/4 mile is the true test. that's why both are universally used in measuring performance. rolling start is also important.

Gustav in the M3...serious?

Great way to test the power of each car, &amp; not which car has better traction/tyres/clutch/driver
