But even though the C63 got the same power, somehow something make the RS4 feel more special. Especially here in the U.S. that we rarely get the RS version cars, when we do get it, it feel extra special.That is true, it is also a point I was trying to point out, Audi don't follow their competitors.

Murcielago LP670-4 Superveloce also broke 3 secs, but it wasn't available for that article. It was mentioned in that article. It did 2.9 from the last test that I saw.
A bunch of cars are at the 3.0~3.2 range.........458, 599 GTO, MP4-12C, I guess any cars with around 600 hp that don't weight a whole lot with decent traction and a fast shifting tranny are around 3.0 now.

The main difference here guys is that the M5 can hold 5 passengers or at least 4. That makes it better than most of the cars on the 3 second list. The M5 can also seat a driver at 6'5" a lot f more comfortably than any sports car

The GS-F (if ever Lexus will make one) can definitely keep up with the performance Germans.............as long as it has 500 HP (minimum)
P.S.
Anyways, wow that's sick. So I reckon that 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) under 4 seconds is possible. Wow
And with that:
The next RS6 is coming up. I hope Audi will step it up to match what the M5 (F10) has offered.
It will be very interesting

I was waiting for you to bring up the C63 But even though the C63 got the same power, somehow something make the RS4 feel more special. Especially here in the U.S. that we rarely get the RS version cars, when we do get it, it feel extra special.

I am so glad I am not into pure speed anymore, I would be so broke buying a new car every year! http://www.gtspirit.com/2011/10/27/2...t-nurburgring/
Nothing delicious like the E9X M3
Not to mention the C63 P30 package makes 480 hp and the DR520 package makes 520 hp. So for hp, MB won.
Audi is very proud of their stuff! They think they are better
I have been drooling. Wait til the tuners do 2~3 mods on them, OMG instant 650 hp
I don't know how long I can control myself from having a near 700 hp sedan! That's twice as much as the 300 hp from my 430's V8, I am getting tired of 14 secs 1/4.

4300 lbs. Its pretty easy to add more power and make a car go faster. Its harder to make it lighter and increase driver feedback. If it wasn't for the USA, they wouldn't even make a manual!
What are modded X6M and X5M vehicles making HP wise? Can't believe a M5 shares an engine with SUVs. Surely 600+ easy?
I really am having new appreciation for the E60 now with the high revving, F1 inspired 500hp V-10 and the E39, E34....
Also the CLS 63 they tested did 0-60 in 3.8 seconds!! These sedans are freaking beasts! Hide your Ferraris

610 hp with a Dinan chip.
They don't share everything, read the fine prints, tons of differences between the M5 motor and the M-SUV motor.........different compression ratio, boost pressure, valvetronic, cams and manifolds......etc. I am sure 600+ is easy from freeing up the exhaust, but the stock M5 motor is already running 22 psi, not sure how much higher they can push that on pump gas. 22~24 psi is normally the max tuner car can run on pump gas.
Boosted low revving vs. high revving NA, different feel for different purposes. I prefer my daily sedan to be boosted low revving and my weekend convertible coupe to be a high revving NA.
Latest Ferraris are down to 3.0~3.2 now, that's still a city block differences. M5 and E63 can barely see the taillights of the 458 and 599.

Still shared with SUVs sorry and debuted first on SUVs. I understand the 5 becoming to big and softer for sales but at that point why not just get the E63 or RS6? The line at this point is so blurry whereas in the past, BMW was by far the drivers car. I didn't say new Ferrari
The stock performance of these sedans is mind blowing. I don't want an estimate b/c I could estimate it. I think it would be much more fun and interesting to see these sedans tested with people/things in it since that is why people buy them. It would be fun data to compare. Of course this is another magazine missing the point just hoping to get people all hot and bothered with a lower 0-60 time to put on their cover.
