Exactly right T-bone..

So basically what Gustav is saying is that the M3 wont beat the RS4 in standing start acceleration runs on US public roads (since those speeds are usually not encountered on US roads)

Thats a pretty positive statement for Audi, so I don't see how that makes Gustav an Audi hater...

I think US has bends as well, and there an M3 would beat it is my guess.

Also, there are American drivers that go faster...

As a noob here, you haven't seen people accuse Gustav of being a MB hater.... Some MB fanatics believe Gustav stages his airfield runs against MB. I am sure that when the RS4 vs. M3 runs comes out, Audi fanatics will say the same thing about Gustav.... Quite sad that people try to taint Gustav's efforts with absolutely no data.

I have an outstanding offer to you for a wager on E90post....but you have not responded. So I will make the same wager here.....


I bet that the M3 will beat the RS4 by at least 2 car lengths in Gustav's next airfield run. I estimate 2-4 lengths.

If you want to discuss the bet then we can negotiate specifics on the wager. Generally, I like public humilation versus money.

Do you want to wager the RS4 vs. M3 at Gustav's next airfield run?
