On track though, it's another story, Sport Auto has the M5 faster around the Hockenheim than the RS6, and the Nurburgring time should come out soon (RS6 's super test is due next issue).

Once again no one is saying that an M5 will beat an E63 S from a stand-still, dig, stoplight etc. The question is whether an M5 will be faster from a rolling start (usually 50mph and above). Highway roll racing is probably more common where there are long stretches of highways where you can test the power of a car and not which car has better traction or the better driver.
