I hope as I was surprised by the results but man that C63 smoked them in the rolling race

No surprise seeing AMG being the quickest.
Looks like the M4 was pulling away from the RS5 on the roll race. That's so typical of Audi; losing when a race isn't from a dig. |

Another stupid test from a British rag. The rolling race should have been done in manual mode in the most optimal gear for each car. For instance, rolling race from 60mph, I would have the M4 in 2nd gear. Otherwise, it becomes more of a test of which transmission is fastest to kick-down. Pretty pointless IMO.

The C63 would likely still win the pull since it has the best power-to-weight ratio of the 3 cars, but I think the distance margin would be significantly less.

They did a previous drag QF/C63S/M3 showing the M3 beating the C63S, in this new one there was .5 sec between the three all of which is nothing if anything other than on a drag strip.
The rolling drag is what you'd expect those M ponies pulling harder than Ingolstadt's but the boys from Affalterbach put another 60 in there and that's going to make a difference on a roll.

RS5 is going to be a beast at the strip, with those awd launches. Modding will be interesting with the hot v turbo placement, easy turbo swaps. I am sure APR is already working on upgraded turbos.

They are all quick cars with strengths and weaknesses not sure why people try and pull these "just for a bit of fun" videos apart as they're not research papers printed in the lancet.

I almost never drive in D. As any good driver would, if I need to accelerate briskly, I will ensure my drivetrain is the most optimal gear before punching it, just like in a manual.

My boss has never used S mode in his M4, he asked me what I was doing when he was in my M3.

This test represents the real world street racer boy scenario. Driver "skill" falls behind right foot testosterone when the threat from the competing model is in the next lane.

The C63S still has a lower weight to HP ratio, that is if you're a firm believer in the manufacturers claimed numbers.

Someone at my office just got a new RS5 and man does it look great - very sleek for sure. I was surprised, having not seen one in person for a long time, but I really like the way it sits. The interior looks really nice as well.
Hopefully I can figure out who it belongs to, and have some friendly pulls with my F80.
