my bad...didn't realize I was preaching to the choir. ;-)

In straight line, on dry pavement, once you've hooked up, the driveline loss with AWD is a hindrance. That's why the RS4 does so well against other cars up to the 70-80mph mark, then succumbs.

Of course, on the street and in the twisties, you will be driving at speeds in which quattro is a total advantage.

Bottom line....the RS4 will excel in more varied conditions than the M3. RS4 is a better real world vehicle. M3 is a little closer to a pure race car. Depends what you need and want. Both cars rock.

when both cars reach their top end power at speed, AWD is a hindrance, yes. but i would up your number well beyond 70-80.

Like I said it is more like 6 or 7 years old.

I'm suicidal, i think I'll get some pentothal from the thread above and just end all the pain.

it'll just make you silly, and admit that you really drive a Prius : )

The RS4 was released in '06 and the M3 in '08.

yeah, I stopped picking up C&D... MT is 3rd grade writing, so that leaves R&T

Shouldn't that 2nd quote end with "when driven by Car and Bimmer" (See I learned to spell)
