[s-cars] M5 vs AMG vs RS6, winner is...

[ccohen5]

Possibly BMW did, but you have to drive an M5 before you should or can reach
this conclusion.  It is a truly phenomenal car in every sense and has a
better balance then any Audi to date except possibly the S8.  I am sure that
the RS6 will be close, but the M5 has been with us for 3 years now.

I like to the Quattro as a matter of preference and have removed the
servotronic so have a very heavy but much more accurate steering sense on my
A6.  Lets give credit where its due.
