Ok. Faster though? In what metric? 0-60? F90 has it beat. 0-100? Again f90. 1/4 mile? I believe the m5c wins again no? So faster on a road course? Lap times? Etc? I honestly don’t know. As far as handling goes. You are the first person I believe I’ve heard say the rs7 was the better handling car. Isn’t it heavier than the f90 by approx 3/400 lbs as well? I mean I would love to see a direct comparison video on the rs7 perf vs f90 lci. Anything I find is old. Like one year or more old info wise. I know that pound for pound the rs7 perf is decidedly more expensive. I just don’t know if you actually get any thing more for that extra money? These are the things I would like to hear.

Being said that, there is literally no comparison between A6 and F90 M5. M5 is superior in every way. I actually cross shopped M5 with RS7 but preferred M5 handling and acceleration. Audis are great cars, but M5 is M5 |

Sure, from a power perspective, but it's all the same chassis between the C8 A/S/RS6 and 7's, as was the 2012-2018 C7 A/S/RS 6 and 7 models. The A/S 8's are a different chassis altogether(aka big boat).

I’m gonna go on the other side here and say that if the RS7 Performance was as cheap as a M5, I’d be in one right now.
The Performance trim is new enough to where you’re not gonna find a lot of people who have significant seat time in them. For me, the M5 doesn’t look bad, but it’s more of a sleeper design. Plus the interior is getting old at this point. The RS7 just looks newer and special. It’s a polarizing shape though, I didn’t like the sportback shape when it came out. The M5 being ever so slightly faster than the RS7 is pointless to me, since I’m not a track star squeezing every last tenth out of the car, and if I was, I’d get a Porsche not a M5. Anyways. The M5's a great car. But the RS7 is my answer. Or be like me and drive the last ICE M5 for a couple years and get into a RS7 later. |

I have had two F90 m5s and now a C8 RS7 with every single option. I prefer driving feel of the RS7. The Quattro and RWS gives me extreme confidence. Mine has upgraded sway bars and the CETE lowering module. Also mine is tuned. The RS7 looks exotic and much more aggressive than the M5. The performance is negligible because I have a dedicated sports car for the track.

I owned the W213 E63 S and the F90 M5, and to this day, the one I miss the most out of the two, is the E 63 S, although I will concede the F90 M5 is a better all rounder. The E 63 is a hot-rod made into a executive saloon, the M5 is an executive saloon that likes to go for thrills. The M5, was a far better car for longer journeys though, and far superior as an all rounder proposition (more comfortable, less road noise, better tech, better ride)
I have had a go at the new C8 RS6. I was underwhelmed with its straight line speed. Its far slower than the other two. Its less of a hooligan in the corners too, it feels more planted but with lower speeds, its less nimble. However, its such a great car to ride, it rides so well, and its so comfortable and pleasant to be, that I would actually consider one. It looks so damn sexy as well. I can't fault any of the three cars, its all a matter of personal preference and deal. To me all 3 are spectaculars, and the end of an era, which we were happy to have lived and experienced. |

I had this issue in my M5 F90. I got to drive it after I sold and it had a transmission update, and it was a lot better. I simply could not use launch control on mine, it would never engage or it would bog, or it wouldn't upshift into 2. When I wanted to play, I just brakeboosted with D3 and Sport Plus everything. That did the trick 98% of the time. |

I'd argue against Audis when compared to BMWs every day of the week and twice on sunday. They just aren't good cars for the money. a M3 can outrun a RS6 what does that tell you? lol |
