Like I said I never once disagreed with the fact that in the long run the M3 would get the upper hand but I will always dismiss M5Board's video when the evidence goes against logic and in most of them that is what we see. Quote:
[u2b]7pbu7AGOGB8&feature=related[/u2b][u2b]CYtROX7nDC4&feature=related[/u2b] I wanted to post these last two videos because their respective power and torque figures are identical. The Audi Allroad (1840kgs) is awd and the slightly lighter 530d (1735kgs) is rwd. Which is quickest to the 200km/h mark. P.S. I took the weight of the heaviest 530d, the touring, if it happened to be a saloon the weight would have been 1655kgs, that's a full 185kgs lighter. My point is Quattro doesn't affect the performance the way you think it does and your hatred for the brand is clouding your judgement. |

Given how close many of these vehicles are you will always be able to find video, magazine results or individual anecdotes of a reversal of what the average condition is. Uhhhh, case closed? Seems it is to me. |

I just wished TB would put an end to his bias opinions on what Quattro does to the performance. I have no problems with his dislike of how they handle or that they are prone to understeer, there is no denying that one, if you push to soon in a corner it will understeer, plain and simple. But there is no way it's affects on it's acceleration amounts to the results seen in M5Board videos and the same goes for most of their stuff. |

Looking at the numbers posted up by this group (that footie just displayed), you're clearly and obviously wrong. Again.

111 mph is way low for 480 hp and 4000 pounds, 115 is getting close. 116-117 is about right. Bruce |

Apologies if this has been discussed. I didn't read through the 5 pages.

I drove both the DTC & 6 Speed. Why did the 6 Speed feel a lot faster??
Plus my friend raced his (stock) 6 speed M3 with another DTC & won? 2010 6S vs 2009 DTC? |

All this straight line and dyno testing is a bunch of Horse shit. To think in 08 someone was dyno racing cars? doesnt a dyno give every single car an amazingly awesome launch with 100% traction??
DCT is faster around a track but i still love heel toeing my manual gearbox. I should be sleeping. My car is faster than yours!! Lol. Ridiculous. Learn to drive first. |
