If you are so set on Audi, then why not get an RS5 and still not be as good as an M3? We keep returning to the same stupid argument.

Because I go to BMW Oktoberfest and other club events and sometimes my car is faster than an M3? They're honestly not that different. We're splitting hairs. It's like saying an M3 CSL is not in the same league as an M3. Or a GT3 is not even remotely comparable to a GT3 RS. Who cares if they add one extra letter? These are all levels of refinement on the same platform with the same off the shelf parts from the same 5 suppliers in Germany.
They're both 2999cc engines with forced induction that easily make over 400 HP, routed through either 2 wheels or 4 wheels.
