RS5 was faster to 60 and in the quarter mile as well. And the rolling start times were the same between the two cars.
And to me, the "but I always race from a roll" or "The M3 is faster and that's a con" - silly. 1) at my age, I'm not street racing as I now understand the risk and 2) as
Kiefermeister says I normally need to just get the car next to me out of the way - so the 0-30/AWD is a preferred thing
