It seems like all they are talking about is HP and TQ.
What about drivetrain dynamics? What about weight? What about size? What about chassis setup? What about steering?
Just besting the power is far from out performing the prior gen.

Exactly, I am so over these horsepower wars. Its absurd, it makes a car's limits much harder to reach and creates a scenario where most of the power is unusable on the road, and most owners will likely never exploit the capabilities on track, rendering the power almost useless. Literally people in the M5/8 forums call the RS6 "super slow," as if a two-ton wagon that can carry 5 people, their dog and luggage and still hit 0-60 in 3.5 seconds is unimpressive
People are power hungry and no longer actually care about how a car takes a corner. They want to imagine that they'll actually be using all the horsepower, and be drag racing at every stoplight when in reality they'll be stuck in traffic and using 1/3 of the horsepower they have.
