    Video: M3 E46 chasing Abt RS4 on Hockenheim

    An M3 E46 with R-tyres and sports chassis chasing an RS4 with Abt upgrades

    Hockenheim-times for unmodded cars.
    Round Time 1.17,6 min (M3)
    Round time 1.18,2 min (RS4)

    M3 vs. RS4 on Hockenheim (save as...)

    At least they can both outrun a Mini Cooper...
    But they are pretty much equally fast. Cool video! I love the rear view of the RS 4. It looks really aggressive!

    It looks like everyone saw that the M3 was mutch faster and no one wants to comment on that....
    Amasing how the front of the M3 is so glue to the ground while the RS4 is always going out of the apex.
    We must the M3

    LOL

    Just another lame excuse, or...?
    Did it ever occur to you that the driver might suck? I would want to see the same driver in both cars, then, I just might believe what a video would show...
    Point is, I don't agree with you...

    that's the point
    the m3-driver takes a better line, otherwise he couldn't have overtaken the rs4

    And why does the M3 driver take a better line?
    The RS4 just pushes the car out of the corner with all the power while the M3 stays in the line!
    Can t you just agree that the M3 is faster in corners?
    Its quite impossible to get understeer from an M3 while the RS4 you just have to push the trottle!

    Im a Audi owner too , but I have to admit that the RWD system of the M3 makes it faster in corners than the quattro of the RS4.

    What does the RS4 driver do wrong? He drives it on the limits and still has the M3 glue to his rear! Can you see that?
    First mistake he did the M3 just got passed hem!
    But imagine he didnt went a bit of the line there.The M3 would still be at his rear and sooner or later he would out brake hem!
    This is how it works when your at a track!

    Take a look to the other videos at the same site.
    You will see the same M3 overtaking other M3 easier than the RS4.


    What it means? This M3 is tuned (weight loss program, tuned suspension and r tires) and the Driver is a good one (video with him behind the Ring Taxi)

    RS Rulez!

    i watched the video a couple of times and it does appear that
    the performance of the two cars are pretty darn close:bigeyes:

    however if you watch the end where the M3 passes the RS4,
    it appears that the RS4 runs a terrible line. he's more than 10'
    from the apex whereas the M3 nails it. call it a cop out, but
    that's the way i see it. BTW, your right about the M3 riding his
    rear end the whole track. there was nothing the RS4 could do to
    shake him. props to the M3
