RS4 vs M5

Well Im officialy lost. Edmunds just did a complete test on the RS4 and E60 M5. End result you can find for yourself http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=119784


I just dont get how the 335 destroys the RS4 but the RS4 seems to have np keeping up with the m5. Not to mention that even with edmunds shitty launches they did a 0-60 in 4.5.

"history is written by the conquers"......

i'd still put my money on the RS4 over the 335......any day of the week.

Make that four. Since natureboy gave us a history lesson I'll throw in a math one.

Since stock 335 = stock E46 M3 and stock RS4 > stock E46 M3 then stock RS4 > stock 335.

The RS4 did the 1/4 mile in 107mph vs the M5 at 113~mph I don't see how the RS4 "Kept up" and it barely did better in the slalom just because the manual M5 has undefeatble traction control holding its ability back.Stock for stock the RS4 Barely defeats the 335 but put some PZeros on a 335 and a Procede and it's game over even if you had an ECU tune on an RS4 this comparison is funny.

I wouldnt compare the M5 and RS4. The new RS6 is obviously the real competitor for the M5 comin in at 580bhp with a twin-turbo V10!

I wouldnt even compare the 335i or the E92 M3 to the RS4. The E90 M3 is an RS4 competitor...

who says the 335i is as fast as an rs4? Maybe around 1 track, which has the advantage towards the other car. Plus the rs4 is just balllllllllller

rs4>335i

Drove both and the 335 is much better at sensible speeds, RS4 is only faster when you absolutely thrash it.

The rs4 is badass....Easy to admit. The only thing worth comparing is the look of the 2 cars... I like mine better...

Who said that the 335 destroys the RS4?

Are you refering to the Car&Driver VIR article?

That was just one track where the 335 performed a little better (as far as I understand due to the track conditions, the AWD cars performed not as well as expected), but I'm sure on most tracks the RS4 will win without any problems.

Now, a 335 PROcede'ed will be another story, at least in the straight line...
