You might as well throw that original time out the window too since it was done with the automatic that was only in the 05's and replaced because it sucked. Based on current knowledge and it's times at other tracks with the 6-spd man, it's not unreasonable to think it will run it in under 8 minutes. |

Don't get me wrong, I loved my M3 and it did alot of things very well but I was ready for the next step up in terms of performance and the things that the M3 did well, the Vette did them better. No knock on the M3, that's what the Vette is built to do. The E46 M3 is the best looking car ever built by BMW IMO, and I'd love to own another. |

They sit in their mom's basement all day reading car mags online, hitting other car forums while posting meaningless conjecture and wondering what real girls look like. The only meaningful answers are the ones from owners/drivers who can truly speak to the experience, most anything else is mainly bullshit from people who need something to fill up the time in their pathetic existence. |

The RS5 is not confirmed. They are already trying to wrap up RS4 production so they can do the RS6 for 2008 (as a 09 model). They also always state they will only make one RS at a time. So considering RS6 production hasn't started yet its going to be a LONG time before they even start on an RS5 (if they do).

either way, i searched around for the best 0-200km/h times i could find for the rs4 and that was what i found. i can only assume that audi/magazines/tuners who do these tests and provide these numbers use higher precision equipment that is a bit more accurate than your standard speedometer/stop watch.

like i said, the e92 M3 is not going to be competition for the RS4, more like the R8.

"there is another laptime for the z51 packaged c6 vette but it's not a sport auto time so it's about as valid as getting hans stuck to drive the e92 M3 around the nurburgring: 7:59* -- 154.822 km/h -- Chevrolet C6 Z51, company test driver Dave Hill (*mfr.)" There are 2 things that blow your theory about that not being a valid time. 1) Dave Hill is no Hans Stuck and think Hans would be insulted by the comparison. 2) This is the same Dave Hill who ran the Z06 at a time that is more than 8 seconds slower than the SportAuto time they got when they tested it in 06/07. Taking #2 into consideration, I would argue that the C6 is capable of a quicker time than 7:59 with a better driver. Last edited by Carnage; 07-13-2007 at 03:59 PM.. |

Swamp, relax, nothing wrong with a little trolling or with posts that are oppositional or misinformed. It's a discussion forum about cars not neurosurgery. It shouldn't be about proving who is right or smarter in order to massage, dare I say - our fragile egos. By the way, I am as guilty as anyone. I just find singing to the choir over and over is really a bore.
