What people just don't see in my opinion: Being in this segment of power and quality it's mostly never a choice based on objective facts whether one car is better or worse than another, it's a taste decision. You like the V8 sound ? Get the C63s, for sure it sounds like a beast ! these are imo taste decisions, I like the BMW M3/M4 and I like the brand. On all of these cars you usually get what you pay for, if it is Alfa, BMW, Mercedes or Audi (to compare the main competitiors). Everyone has his advantages in some points. And let's be honest: just a small % of people buying these car will seriously track them... I for myself think I get the most bang for bucks with BMW. Others might think that of Mercedes or Audi, taste question. I wanted Manual Transmission so the decision was clear.. |

Current C63s coupe is pretty dam awesome IMO, I like it much better than with my old F80 M3 comp or F82 Comp. It perfectly balances out multiple roles for a car in this segment. Not to mention that V8.... My X5M V8 seems a bit boring compared to it.....
Now, 4 Cyl C63??? Yuck, Puke, hell no. I'd rather just go full electric. New M4 is pretty awesome as I suspected it all along. Can't believe it's hitting 3.6-3.7 with rwd... They did something magical with traction and electronics.

That's not to say the C63 with the hybrid setup won't have higher output than the M3/M4 and RS5, but it's wishful thinking for it to have significantly more output just because we know what the motor is capable of. |

Oh yes. And let's think about how stupid and useless these drag races are in the Tesla era. 0-60? A 50k$ EV car is 4 seconds, a $120k car is 2.5s...In my opinion we should talk ONLY about driving dynamics, driving sensations, emotions of a gasoline engine. ONLY. |

Something is very strange with this test?!
Since the BMW M4 is already making 11,6 sec 1/4 mile, that is considerably faster time than any stock RS5 did (most figures are in the 12 sec range). But if we factor in the winter tires and the dirty surface that outcome is relatively possible from the dig. What is almost certainly not possible is the fact that the RS5 was faster than the C63AMG in the roll race!? In any other race I have seen the difference is brutal in Merc's favor! And since we know the new BMW M4 is a monster (the advantage it has compared to the Merc is about right), I think something is going on with that RS5? But maybe I'm wrong, maybe the C63AMG is broken? |

Nope, just do a quick google search. ICE are being slowly phased out everywhere. We are moving into the dark ages. Next gen M3 will follow this same pattern until it becomes fully Electric.

Audi will never outperform M's or AMG's. You don't buy an Audi because it's faster than M's or AMG's. You buy it because you like it and it suits your style. Rs5 cant compete with M4 or C63s. RS6 is no match for M5 or E63s. It would have been wiser for them to do a few different runs not just one. Even Carwow manages to do a few runs until they get it right.
As far as roll racing, gearing and starting speed matters a lot. Can't just leave it in Auto and mash the gas. One car will drop down faster than the other. 0-60, 1/4 mile, and 60-130 tests show the only true results. |

Plenty fanbois ... it is what it is ... the G8X will not "win" all the time.
"James from Throttle House here. The cars were all on Pilot Alpins. Temps during this race were around -2 celsius so it actually massively helped with traction. The full review from a few days ago was filmed in the positive temperatures on PS4Ss in the afternoon of the same day. We did everything we did to make sure the drag race was fair, and that the handling critiques on track could be accurate. Wasn't cheap, but we don't wanna do wrong by you guys.

Kudos to TH for putting this together so soon given they probably only had the M4 for a limited period of time.
The launch control of the RS5 is amazing. It'll be very interesting to see how the AWD version of G8x will do against it. I suspect the launch will be close and then the G8x will pull away midway through the race for an easy win. |

BMW always undersell the figures and the 3.7 to 60 shows it's clearly high but we'll be conservative The M3 at let's say 3900lbs and 520bhp The amg at let's say 4500lbs and 600bhp They both come out at 0.133 hp/lb So similar performance, but you get an awful sounding 2 liter 4 pot and a lot more physical weight in corners etc No thanks.

Do you have an explanation, or are we all fanboys because none of us have ever seen stock RS5 defeating the C63AMG from the roll? |

Do you really think they would go to the strip, run 1 race, assume it was accurate, and call it a day?

The RS5 jumped on the C63 off the start and the C63 reeled him in real quick. No way a rs5 is beating the C63 in a roll |
