In most threads discussing the performance of the new S4 vs BMW M3/M5, all I read about is comparisons of straight line acceleration times. No mention of quattro, roadholding, handling on real world roads (especially wet ones) or anything else. The historical superiority of Audi being based on these capabilities, why is this happening? Are most posters here drag racers or what?

Will you actually feel a difference of a half a second 0-60? NO. My E46 M3 was NOTHING compared to my S4.

I just think we dont like to lose, be it on the track or at a street light!

no i think 0-38 is the most crucial for speed

acceleration can do for your adrenaline.

no, 1/4 mile times are everything.

and sadly 90% of the people that own these performance cars get them for the name that comes with them, not really the performance.

Give me a huge empty lot with an S4 or M3 or something with decent power and I'll go have my fun

Times at The Ring are everything to everyone else not into stop light derby bragging rights.

Same can be said for hard cornering
