No you didn't read it wrong and I didn't claim M6 is faster in quarter mile! I said: "From standstill RS7 is faster than M6 (0-60 , 0-100) but not in rolling (ie 5-60, 60-130 mph,etc)... but what's the point of re-posting this video?"
1. what was your point from posting this video?
2. after quarter mile M6 waks away (ie 0-130mph or 0-300 km/h)
3. 50-70 is "Top Gear" means both cars are in highest possible gear for that speed (like 4 or 5)... it's not a criteria to see which car is more powerful to walk away...

It's amazing that when I claim "M5/M6 are underrated by BMW" you point to BMW website out, but in case of AUDI you point to magazines! I hate to say but if you really like (or love) Audi, you are driving wrong car and wasting your time in wrong forum... go get one of those amazing underrated A6/S6/RS6/A7/S7/RS7/A8/S8... specially since and all of them are AWD! FYI, Quattro is one of the best AWD in current market much better than BMW xDrive ....

You didn't prove anything (or maybe proved to yourself) and I don't think that I was successful to prove the "real world challenges" to you; however I did my best to bring all the realities to your attention. I don't mind to continue this conversation, but I have to pack since I'm leaving country for about two weeks on Monday... hopefully you don't want to change the subject to another "M6 vs xx", but if you want to bring another one like MB or GTR , let me know
Oh BTW, M6 is even faster than GTR "in rolling"
