SteveD was saying that they kept on getting better traction out of the M3 than the RS4 in Spain on the same roads, and that they were surprised. He probably was not referring to a launch scenario though.

I think I remember those thoughts but I was pretty sure he was referring to cornering grip and corner exit grip. Not much surprise the M3 does great there. However on launch the M3 simply will not match the traction of the RS4s AWD system. The gains will be wiped out quickly though through the contest.
