Teehee.
no one is disputing that the rs6 can be faster than an m3!!! The reason why the rs6 is faster is not because of its awd handling prowess its is straighline advantage

amggod you are so narrow minded my friend.How many times do I have to say it .IM talking about the csl

say it with me coupe sport lightweight

your compairing an rs6/rs4 and now with that last link an rs6 plus to anm3

thats not fair

1 car cost 2x as much and has way more power and you like to find tracks with long straighaways that helps out the rs6.

wheres the time of the rs6/rs4/s4 on the small top gear track....NOWHERE

the m5 beat the csl on that small *** track and it weighs 700lbs more than the csl.

edit the new m5 also did the ring in well under 8min but it was a delimited top speed run so I cant count on that time for the car.

I also heard that one of those rs4/rs6 times were with top end govener delimited.Im searching for it now.

M3 GTR ruled. Got disqualified for kicking to much ***. If the RS6/ZO6/CTS-V can all run large displacement V8's the M3 will have difficulty being competitive, but if the new M3 shows up with a V8 Audi is going to get whacked.

It's coming as a street iteration and I can't wait to lease one since in a Bangle design contained form it still looks better than the new big grilled Audis. Got to love horsepower wars. Every year is better then the previous. Anyone who spends any energy hating one marque over the other is the only consumer that loses. Snobbery related to brand loyalty is the purest form of stupidity any car lover can harbor, IMHO.

im not sure you know wut i mean by that but ohwell

do you think that the next csl will be slower or somthing?

ill bet my car you wont get an e90 m3

I just talked to a dealer about it and was going to put down 1k deposit.

even my brother with his s4 says my car ****s on it in the corners.

hell he even lost it trying to chase me around an offramp exit.He also had 18s
and I had my stock 17s.

dude audi has a long way to go to catch up to bmw.

edit nice quick one you pulled with that rs6plus comp against an e46 m3

and the first race you showed was a rs6 vs an e36 m3
still waiting for your responce on the gtr inline 6
