Similarly their power to weight are close but definitely not the same. I calculate 8.9 for the RS4 and 8.5 for the CSL.
My post was not so much that the PTW was identical, one is 251hp/tonne and the other 256hp/tonne in favour of the CSL. It was more to highlight this opinion that awd saps mountains of power through it's drivetrain and clearly that is not the case, or should I say not here on this occasion and with these two stock cars.

P.S.

I was under the impression that the SMG in the CSL shifted quicker than a stock M3 wih SMG. Is this not the case?
