Default Excellent showdown between M3 and RS4 in latest issue of Sports Car International !

<center><img src="http://sci-mag.com/images/cover.jpg"></center><p>The RS4 won!
Sorry I don't have a way to scan the article.
They dinged the M3 for the aging chassis and steering. In the end they said the M3 felt like an adrenaline-fueled adolescent bursting with energy and trying to prove themselves while the RS4 was a seasoned athlete with more confidence and less need to show off their considerable strength and talent.

I love this magazine. It seems to be one of the last true enthusiast magazines that aren't glorified press releases. They are small but the content is rich and they are careful about what ads they accept. Well worth checking out if you haven't already...<ul><li><a href="http://sci-mag.com/">Sports Car International website</a></li></ul>

Default Was it the new m3 (V8) or the e46 (I6)?

If its the e46 that does not suprise me one bit. 420hp vs 333hp which one do you think will win?

Default I'm guessing a Lotus Exige wouldn't have a problem hanging w/ an RS4 on the track ;)

Just bustin' you chops since you're talking HP and tracks...

Default It was a comparo of models currently on the market. It also wasn't a comparo of spec sheets.

I always thought it was more than just about horsepower and numbers anyway, right?
