Well the closest you are ever likely to get to that is the rear biased R8 which I rated pretty darn good.

So my guess is these guys who post the videos are in tuned cars (most of the time), if I showed you an RS4 whipping an M3 you would likely think 'hey hold on a minute that not possible', likewise if the tables were turned and the reason for that is that most of the credible evidence (from magazines) show both cars to be very close in performance and to a speed well beyond the distance of the 1/4 mile.

Now this disagreement with you does not make me a downer of the M3 and BMW, just a realist who knows that these cars are the equal to each other and these opinions that Quattro eats power to the extent you believe is false.

Check out the differences between the RS6 and the M5, you may feel that 'hey look the RS6 has an extra 80 horses and yet is not much quicker' but when you examine the details you can see as clear as day why this is so. The RS6 weighs an extra 250kgs, it's running an automatic instead of a semi-manual, it's got 6 gears instead of 7, all things which have more bearing on it's performance than the different drivetrain.

But then I already know I am beating a die horse trying to get you to chance your opinion on both Audi and Quattro.

I don't even know where to start on this..... it is wrong everywhere.

Perhaps you should try a caffinated Latte on the way to pick up your dry cleaned underwear tomorrow....you may make more sense.

I hear in Germany, Audi is starting a class action lawsuit against BMW AG, they are claiming lung damage from BMW exhaust because they can't pass them on the autobahn.

I didn't make any comments on the looks of the M3

You don't know where to start because you can't. What I am saying is correct and you know it.

I guess I need to start drinking and liking coffee. As for my underwear, my wife does that but then again I doubt you could believe that because in your mind if you have owned an Audi then you have to be gay and couldn't possibly be interested in women never mind marry one.

Since they brought over that huge mouth look, I couldn't give any respect to an Audi.
