Not really.

You can compare numbers and all of that but when it comes down to it, a RS5, M4 and C63s Coupe are similar in performance. It is mainly just what you prefer as a brand.

AMGs are known for their engines but kinda lackluster transmission. Current gen M3/M4 are known to great and nimble cars but iffy on the exhaust tone. New RS5 is a great road car, not a good track car due to the well known Audi understeer/oversteer. (You don't put the engine where they usually put it without some consequences on track.)

It is all what you prefer, which is why I ignore car magazines when they do these comparisons because in the real life world, numbers matter very little. I have a preference for BMWs but for my next car I want to have something that isn't a BMW for once, which is why I'm aiming at Benz and Audi.
