Default OK, OK. I don't have another joke for you this time so I'll try to be serious here...

I have not driven the car you wish to know about.

However from reading on that car and what it is capable of doing, I would think that it would be a much better handling car than the RS4.

Lighter, more balanced designed and built for that purpose, I'm pretty sure the RS4 would be left behind on the track or on a twisty road.

Heck my A4 out handles the RS4 and not just because of my mods but simply because it is lighter.

360 is a slow POS, the rs4 would take it.

Default Yeah right! Yet Ferrari claims the 360 is much faster than a 355 around their test track...

It also been reported as a much more reliable than the 355.

Default I have and track both cars extensively... the answer is no.

I love both cars... but cars are very different and fun... but no comparison.

No way. I have an RS4 and my boss has a 360 Challenge Stradale. I got a ride in the 360 but have not driven it. He's tracked the car at Limerock. My seat of the pants opinion is that on a twisty road or a track, the 360 is more fun. Notwithstanding, I love the RS4 on the street.
