Default Piggy Piggy Oink Oink Pulls out the Win! Audi RS4 vs BMW M3 vs Cadillac CTS-V vs Fuga

Has anyone figured out how we can drop some pounds from our cars other than pulling out the back seat and going on a diet? ;-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/12-13-06page-Audi-RS4-vs-BMW%20M3-vs-Cadillac-STS-V-vs-Fuga.htm">http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/12-13-06page-Audi-RS4-vs-BMW%20M3-vs-Cadillac-STS-V-vs-Fuga.htm</a</li></ul>

Default how 'bout that launch!

RS4 starts 2 cars back, yet would have beaten the M3 though the 1st corner if it had inside position....that probably would have resulted in doubling the gap at the end of the race.

Default Quattro rules Bob, Quattro rules! However you can still see that the RS4 understeers and please...

Audi learn how to make your car lighter! Just imagine dropping 400 lbs out of that car.

You can also see that at a few places when the RS4 was on the outside the traction from the Quattro made all the difference.

Default eh...to me it looks like....

...the driver probably wasn't that experienced with AWD. The foot shots show a little hesitancy when he should have been flooring it.

I find this car very easy to push from understeer to oversteer with the right amount of throttle and steering input....with ESP off, of course. Where you are in the powerband also is critical. You know all this, of course.
