Let's see a standing start please 
Now, something HAS been bothering me. I wrote this
"Again wrong - it is the Audi S7. As a BMW owner, it pains me that this car beats up on the M lineup so bad and that it turns in 0-60 and qtr mile times that are just unbelievable for the HP and Torque it is rated at. Topping it all off, it costs considerably less than the M5/M6/M6GC group of cars. "
THAT was immature. I should have written
"Some would argue that the S7 is the best car you can buy for the money if you are looking for both sport and luxury". It has a 0-60 and qtr mile time that embarrasses cars costing $30K more. Others might argue the Tesla actually embarrasses both the S7 and M6. To each his own." |
First: M5 is most likely as heavy as M6GC and the same power and torque so basically very close to M6GC! 0-100 in 8 second for M6GC (and M5) while 8.5 second for M4 (or M3) based on the numbers you posted above! right?
0-130 in 13.0 vs 14.5 is another one...not enough?
where you see in this standing starts that M3/M4 is faster than M5?
Oh BTW, I'm impressed and shocked that you didn't call it
"homemade video" LOL.
Second: This video is taken in Europe and over there people use the metric system (SI). So the rolling start is 50km/h (31 mph) and not 50 mph! After 9 seconds both cars can reach about 180-190 km/h! I don't know how you could recognize 1 car length from that view! (you have good eyes sir
); but obviously M5 must have reached 200 km/h at the time walked away! So what's your point?
Back to "M6 vs .." 
Now after M4 and B6 it's Tesla's and S7's turn lol...
I think we will be ending up to bring all cars here until you find a good competitor for "M6" ... what's wrong with you with M6??? You have a 6er BMW which is a good car! why so much hate about M6???
Oh I know because it's a fast car
Ok let's see what you have for us.... S7! first of all it's AWD... "to me" deal breaker! 420 HP/ 406 lb-ft torque 0-60 in 4.5 second
!!! curb weight 4500 lb... No thanks my car has a lot more power and torque and 250 lb lighter and "FASTER". Oh S7 is really ugly (this is subjective of course)....
I leave the link here since you believe in "none homemade links"
http://www.audiusa.com/models/audi-s7
and your friends in C&D made some reviews about 2016 S7!
http://www.caranddriver.com/audi/s7
450 HP/ 406 lb-ft of torque
0-60: 4.1 second
0-100: 9.7 second
1/4 mile : 12.4 second
How this car beats up on M lineup so bad????
based on your numbers (C&D M4/M6) it's slower than entire current M lineup
Furthermore, S7 is not even in M5/M6 Class...The M5/M6 competitor in Audi lineup is RS7
And in that link:
Although Audi doesn’t use the "four-door coupe" nomenclature favored by some competitors, the S7 nevertheless butts heads with the BMW 650i xDrive Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz CLS550
So maybe you need to compare S7 with your 650ixDrive GC "and not any M car"
And Tesla... let's compare Tesla to i8 since that's different category.
Currently we are talking about gasoline engine M cars
