Interesting result between these two.

I agree with you! Not sure why the OP was saying the results were interesting? Makes me think someone was expecting the opposite. Even though the RS6 is 5,000 pounds. LOL

I'm sure it would be closer with a better start for the Beemer. Seems like the RS6 have been trapping low 11's, so not going to be the destruction that video shows

The result is more than interesting for two reasons!

First, the M4 launch was awful and in the second runt it was actually pretty close to the AWD 600 hp car!

And second, it was faster at the end in the rolling race!
The S58 high speed pull is amazing!

I think this is the first time in history that the M3/4 is faster than the RS6 on the roll, and it will probably be the first time in history that the M4 will be faster than the RS6 when it gets the AWD at 1/4 mile

Bottom line, why would anyone give any excuses for such a great accomplishment?!

AWD G8x will likely beat the RS6 in both ET and trap speed.

This is the sort of race I like to run. When my life and location allowed for real track time, I always enjoyed taking on a car I couldn't beat to enjoy trying to keep up. Much more of a challenge than the other way around. The only sad thing about the modern world is that launching AWD monsters like the RS6 is probably too much about the computer and not the driver.

I wont be the guy that says its unfair because I love apples and oranges comparos...

My thoughts having driven the new Rs6 many times and owning the M3 G80:

The Audi's just launch so well (many race videos show it) but they are not as fast as their true competitors stock vs stock (M5, M8).

I was impressed with the lowly 503 hp M4 (LOL) and how it kept up and actually was barely pulling in the roll taking the AWD out of the equation. What a great car!!!

The RS6 has amazing looks IMHO but has not delivered the performance numbers as its constantly running mid 11 quarters stock vs my former M5 and current fatty M8 which can clock under 11.

Archie fucked the lauch!!!!!!

Well the RS6 is an M5 competitor so the fact that the M4 can beat it from a roll is a testament to how the M4 punches above it's weight class. Also I would expect the AWD version will make for a much closer drag race.

The RS5 is the M4C competitor, not the RS6 @ $112,000+. The M4 beats both on a punch, and only the AWD from the hole keeps the more powerful 6 ahead. The 5 gets a great start, but the M4 reels it in. You are absolutely right. Run the Audi against its true competitor, the M5.
