Can you flesh this out a bit?
I'm not putting you down, but in general, the RS5 seems to be very slightly slower than the M3 in a straight line, and very slightly quicker around a race track. In addition, it's been characterized as being a bit more responsive around town, with a slightly more usable torque curve. Obviously, this doesn't translate into "mediocre" performance, unless you also think the m3 is also a mediocre performer, which I doubt.
It must be something else.
Can you describe it?
