You also forget the CSL is a Track car that is stripped out with almost slick cut tyres, the RS4 is a sporty faily sedan, of course the CSl is going to win, these casr have NOTHING in common with each other, if you want to compare it with somthing, compare it with the 996 GT3, those stats are almost identical. What a stupid comparison.

all wheel drive and more hp does nothing, when real sports car (like BMW) is definitely lighter and has better balance as well. CSL can beat RS whenever he want.
