Anyone check out the C&D sport sedan comparo ? (or am I unknowingly reposting)
Stick shift M5 0-60 4.7s 1/4 mi at 13.0
Wow.. From the sounds of it, I'm glad its looks kept me from considering it

Looks like
114mph.. fine.. its better than the tested RS4 13.2s at 109mph.. but not by much.
Anyway, I blindly assumed that M5 + stick = killer car. But from the article, it seems that M5 + stick = killed the car (because of the ****ty electronic lawyers they added in)
I am just very surprised how 'competitive' the RS4 remained. And I'm really surprised that they placed the M5 last in the comparo.
Anyway, I just found it really interesting.

Exactly. It's as if BMW AG is taking revenge on the purists in america for making them develop a 6mt
with this nannying garbage in place on the 6mt version, they're really trying to force the SMG down everyone's throats by making it clear that "performance-wise, the SMG is better."
Not that there's any real problem with the SMG. I like it. But it would've been nice if BMW lawyers didn't handicap the 6mt M5.

True but its nuts that the RS4 will actually pull ahead the first few car lengths at which ->
point I would just hit the brakes and call the race And claim that I won (which I had, over that distance)..
Besides, in the city, all you get is a couple car lengths.
