Where does in mention RS4 in that report?

edit i can see

it says that the 335i is 2secs quicker than the Mcoupe.

i think on shorter courses where torque is a requirement then its in with a shout. it even equaled the time of the M6, however i think if it was to drive arounf the ring for instance it woulod be a lot slower.

great car though.

Carl the M5 is 20 seconds slower around the ring than the rs4 FACT, that amaerican track is suited to torquey, light cars the m5 is about 45tons.
