Not sure this is really relevent. How many people go from a stop light these days? Even setup races are done from a roll and practically speaking when driving we measure the power from already driving. So yes the AWD launches much better than a RWD m3. No shocker but from 20-30mph roll it would be lights out.
The point is the audi has 450hp but people forget it is 400 pounds heavier which equates to a roughly 40hp equivelent deficit and it loses more power through parasitic losses through AWD.
Its an example of having to give a car more power to compensate for a heavier car with awd.
Man if the e90 m3 was 3400 pounds. Just 200 pounds lighter than it is and had the same S65 engine, it would have just been perfect!
