We shall see, but, right, it is likely to fall short of the M5. Maybe the M3 is the best comparison.

I am sure the RS4 will be more comparible to the new M3 V8 in performance as well as price. The RS6 is the M5's competitor.

I test drove the newest S4 and really I wasn't impressed with the handling at all, there was such a huge gap between the S4 and the E46 M3. How much better in terms of handling can the RS4 be?? My guess would be as good as the E46 M3 at best which means it can never compete with the E90 M3

the RS4 is overpriced and heavy...... the upcoming C63 AMG will the one to have in this class of cars..... 450-510HP...... running high 11's or low 12's stock.....

as for the Z06, check out this video of one running 11.7 @ 125...

Well, they've invented Quattro... Ok... But that's pretty much it.

IMHO there is MB for luxury, BMW for drivers, Porsche for sports. That's it.
I do respect and honor what the French car manufacturers do, but those cars are just waaay to cheap built. They are very innovative though.
For the Asian car manufacturers I have a lot of respect for the copying. They are very good at it.

But as said above, for me there are only three "REAL" car manufacturers...
