Well, my point exactly - in road cars, you can indeed mask it a long way so the driver doesn't feel it and numbers do not show it - if the manufacturer so desires - even though it obviously still is there. Ultimately, you obviously cannot turn a RS4 into a M3 CSL killer in terms of track ability when the mutual modification race is on and all gloves are off as the laws of physics come in the way - but this is not was this post is about is it? Low hanging dynamic fruit and so on...

That said, let us just wait for the S5 test numbers - but needless to say, in standard guise it will come nowhere near the times posted by the RS4 with the above mentioned specs. However, it can almost surely eventually be turned into a dynamically better car - aka RS5 with SS+, Corsas and Ceramics - than the RS4 with its wider track and at minimum 3%-points better weight distribution...
