Look at the article/posted SS by EM 5 again. The RS4 was not faster around the corners/sectors as you pointed out multiple times. It was faster on the straights, as it should be with the substantial power increase.
Look at the entry speed then the exit speed of each corner/sector. That will tell you all you need to know. I'm not sure how you could read that the RS4 was faster around corners/sectors.
The most telling being Sector 5, where the RS4 entered at 75.7mph and exited at 93.3mph.
The 335i entered at 70.6 mph, a full 5.1mph slower, and exited at 93.2mph, vitrually identical to the RS4 exit speed of 93.3mph.
