An example...
The Caterham spanks the Evo in the dry,by a huge margin and loses to the Evo in the rain.

So what would be the point of sayin if the conditions improve the Caterham's times the same will hold true for the Evo?

The S4 and 335i numbers are almost identical so the track conditions will play a big role since one is AWD.

THe acceleration rate of the S4 is almost identical to the 335i from 80 to 120km/h,look at the numbers by AMS.

I apologize i just had to reply really quick.
Your lack of understand of traction issues and how they diminish as speed increases is truly mind boggling.

We are here debating outright acceleration and you throw 'ingear' times from 80~120km/h into the mix are if it means something and proves your point. For heaven-sake a 335d will destroy an M3v8 in the same discipline but will be miles behind it in a drag race which I might add is what we have been talking about for God knows how many posts.

Please try and keep on topic.
