From a roll: top of third gear: 180 km/h.

From a start: early mid 4th gear: around 200 km/h

I'm confused.. Help me out here t-bone because maybe we just read different posts..

Didn't gustav just say that from a standstill, the M3 will not beat an RS4 until 125mph (US) ?? So in other words, on US roads, the M3 will not beat an RS4, period ? Maybe I just misinterpreted the post.

How is that an Audi hater? -so confused-

Although I don't like the looks, or what most reviewers have said about the steering feel, I'm glad the M3 is shaping up to be a great car.

I have not tried the RS4 vs M3 yet, but the RS4 will have an advantage at the start thansk to 4WD, and it wil ltake soem time before the M3 catches up is my guess,

Ya Gustav.. I tend to agree with you. Atleast with two average drivers, the RS4 should have an advantage since its easier to launch. Although I'm curious to find out if AWD has as much of an advantage with two experienced drivers..

If it makes you feel better, I don't consider you an audi hater

Curious to see the videos Just make sure you don't put some clown in the RS4 when you are doing your comparos ;P

I can say I chased an Audi S6 V10 Avant in the wet and he couldnt leave me He was a bit faster in the start (in the wet, that is expected) but I came first

Show me a road in the US where you can drive 125 mph...these are the airfield runs....

There is life beyond 0-60 and the quarter-mile

Great report, and thanks for the quick tour of Stockholm!

The car looks great in AW. The new 4-dr version seems like a a good transition coming from a E39 M5... ...
