Place your bets - RS6 or M5 faster in Sport Autos upcoming test?
According to rumors, Sport Auto is going to test the new Audi RS6 Avant vs. the BMW M5 (unkown if sedan or touring).
Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets and tell us what you think.
Who will be the winner 0 - 200 km/h?
(I don't expect a draw, so ruled out that option)
And please, vote on which car you
think will win, not the car you
want to win.
The current standing over at RS6.com, where I asked the same question, can be found here:

Our torque limiting in SMG 1st gear screws up or makes unpredictable out launch. Smaller 275 rears and higher weight on the M5 Touring will further hamper it out of the hole.
The RS6 with its low down torque and AWD will launch like a bat out of hell.
Were this race from a roll the M5 would take it.
Were this race to 150mph+ rather than just 124mph then the M5 would take it, even from a dig.
But, from 0-124mph, got to say the big Audi.

RS6 14,9 seconds to 200km/h, so M5 15,5 seconds?

I wonder whether or not they will use launch control on the M5. I predict whoever wins the looser will be within .3sec

Has to be the RS6.
There's an excellent comparison between the two in this month's EVO magazine (issue 116, page 103).
