I ran the 1/4 mile with both and they went as follows

RS6 with 1/2 tank of vpower fuel, dry track, NO fancy launches as the rs6 box is like chocolate!
12.7 @ 111mph

335i with full tank of 95 (doh!!) and 235 winter tyres
12.7 @115mph

So the 335i is quicker, not by a huge amount but def quicker. Its a good comparison as its the same driver on the same track in similar conditions

what HP is the 35i?

Nearly impossible to get a completely accurate comparision of speed capabilities between 2 cars on a public road. Driver in front could be modulating the throttle, changing up earlier, etc.

I've seen a few near misses with drivers so keen to beat someone on the road they almost crash and take some crazy risks. Some seem to take being beaten as the biggest put down in life!! I rarely have a contest with anyone and only then it's after pulling alongside, eye-to-eye contact, hand signals and agreeing an acceleration run.

I agree, but when it's arranged it's pretty obvious they are gunning it. As it is at the drag strip!

i had a 120d do the same to me a few weeks back, he joined the motorway as i was passing the junction, i was doing 85 in the outside lane and it was quite busy, i was watching him cut traffic up left right and centre and undertaking, i assume to get closer to me, as i got off on the next junction he flew up the inside of me with a massive grin on his face looking at me and overtook on the roundabout. He then continued up a 30mph section at a ridiculous speed. For all of his arsehole driving i was right behind him as he turned into his housing estate!

If your on here, 1. what was the point, your driving got you nowhere quicker, and 2. if you think you got one over on a 335d you are a very sad man, but if it helps your ego carry on. If i had planted it you would of embarrassed yourself infront of your girlfriend.

I dont understand people who drive like a knob against a car that is clearly more powerful, if i see an M3 or anything more powerful i let them past and put the window down to hear the grunt!

I agree with the above, I have respect for the M or the dual exhaust 335's

Saw an M5 at the lights and gave the guy a thumbs up as it was a beautiful monster

and let him just pull of in grace. no point me lookin like a c$%t and try to take him with my 2.0 denzil. hehehe

403 @wheels

Mate's dad had an rs4 with the mtm twin turbo set up. Now that was a quick rs4. Not sure what bhp it had but must have been 500+. He's got an m3 now and prefers it over the rs4.

Agree most std rs4's seem down on power. Saw one make 25bhp off audi's claim at same rolling road i had my car done at. Still a nice quick car and on a wet road it'd get away from a 335i.......dry road its different story though
