S6 faster than RS5 - what gives?

[chewym]

The RS 5 dusted all the other cars in lap time @ Grattan Raceway, so that tells you something about its overall balance.

Also, FWIW, APR just took their in-house development RS5 to the drag strip to document before/after performance with their new tuning. Stock it ran 12.4xx @ 110.xx MPH. Their tune improved that to 12.2xx @ 111.xx mph. http://audirevolution.net/forum/inde...29484#msg29484

Yep, the gap was quite large which shows what AWD can do on the track. The RS5 actually posted very similar acceleration as the M3 in that test which isn't bad at all as the RS5 is heavier and shows that the RS5 V8 was making some extra power over the M3.

The C63 was the quickest by far (about the same as the S6) but it finished last in the test.
