Yeah your right the M5 took me by suprise and he was a looney as regards to road safety.rAudiguy wrote:As an Ex biker to me no car will ever have that raw straight line speed, however I truly believe alot comes down to driver ability. I've had races in the past with faster cars and won because I maybe knew the roads better, got my foot down quicker or just had more balls to push harder! the same applies with the RS4 and M5, I don't think there is much between them on a dry day below 100mph but as I'm sure some of you will have experienced, sometime somein a Astra VRX will leave you for dead because he has no care about road safety or there own safety, and will make stupid manoeuvres just to get ahead of you. I don’t think the M5 left you for dead I just don’t think you were ready for him to give it the boot so it took you by surprise.
There will always be faster cars out there and faster drivers, as long as you enjoy your car and it puts I smile on your face I think that's what really matters
I've re read my first post and it does seem a bit off putting (appoligies) it wasnt the intension.
I'm too an ex biker and club racer and agree there's no thrill like a bike. I've looked at the M5 but its not to my taste and the RS4 is an awesome machine and will be staying for a while.
