I also think journos especially will never get within miles of these cars so why not flog them a bit.

The positive I take from it is that the engine is responsive and not overcome with lag as the throttle is modulated. That's my top concern with the new engine - how much responsiveness was lost by going turbo?

He claims that he can't turn the stability control off in the RS5 (which you absolutely can) yet he tries tossing the RS5 around as if it's a rwd BMW and then complains that the stability control steps in . He also says the RS5 has 430hp when it has 450hp. Comments like "I'm excited to drive the M4 but first I have to drive the Audi" show where his preconceived notions lay. Not saying the RS5 would or should win but he also sold the RS5 a bit short despite him saying that it's the supposed benchmark in the beginning. To me that's more of a self serving comment for the M4 than a true compliment of the RS5. As in hey look the M4 beat the "benchmark"

Lets sign up for a track day with the M club of Houston. I'm a bit rusty but we can definitely see the difference! GoPros everywhere hahaha.
