Being fractionally quicker in the real world actually does make sense. When you're trying to put down 400+ horsepower in a tight, slow corner you'll no doubt have a harder time keeping up with a car that's dividing a similar level of power between four wheels.

Worth noting: the RS5 had the traction advantage through the slower corners, but they say the M3's balance allows it to keep up through the faster bends.

Either car looks like a great package. Wish they tested an RS5 with one of the two optics packages though. I think this one looks a bit bloated without the accents breaking things up.
