That is your personal opinion, I on the other hand don't agree that the mighty AMGs cope that great with their kind of power and nowhere near as well as a car like the RS6 can. My I suggest you try and use all the available power without the ESP button enabled, what you will get is clouds of smoke, a very lively tail and a third of your tyre life at best.

You quote acceleration times based of dragstrip figures, a surface designed to aid traction on cars with ten times this amount of power.

Maybe in your world that is the only thing of importance but in the realms of the real world these cars have to cope with normal roads, changing weathers and average driving skills. So manufacturers have a duty to make even their looniest models a little sane.
