Are You Saying that AWD Works Great in All Conditions Even with Summer Tires?

up to 85% drive force available to the rear and 70% to the front if needed. you should read some more about quattro and awd, ignorance is bliss my friend.
I'd expect both an M3 and an RS5 to not be much use in snow and ice on summer tires.

The C&D article talks about the weight distribution of the RS5 and all the technical tricks Audi does to overcome it's effects, but says that near the limit "the chassis still acts more like a front driver".

Do you have an RS5? Why did you buy an M3 if the Audi is so much better?
