Audi, why didn't you make a car that was an improvement over the past model?

I agree with everything but your deficiencies. The RS5 has a vectoring LSD rear diff in the rear so they do rotate, especially compared to an RS4. What it lacks, like all previous models is overall balance. Audi's are just too nose heavy

In real world driving it's going to be faster than an M3. The cars are running 12.4@110+ stock, 12.1-12.2@112-113 tuned consistently. The trap might be lower but for all intensive purposes the RS5 is going to put down the power in every situation better than an M3 below 120mph which is not a real surprise with the AWD. The only surprising thing being, it is a good bit heavier, and it does make 'about' the same power. However on paper that doesn't really show, it's a mid 12's 110mph car on every run
