the new S4 beats the e46 m3 to 60 but at higher speeds the m3 makes up ground

i think this will be true of most RWD-AWD drags in which both cars are of comparable power (S4 - 340hp, m3 - 333hp)

It depends on power band, rear end ratio, tranny ratios, tire size, tire choice, suspension, car weight, and driver.

Like Razor said, though if everything else is equal who gets to 60 first should win.

if you're getting there that quick... it's doubtful that you'd lose the race, especially if you beat the other car to 60...

Yeah sorry, I'm not saying it's common. But it does happen.

Powerband, gearing, etc etc.

But you are correct, most common street cars will not catch up if they loose to 60.

having to change into fifth or not for the 1/4.

what car would have to shift into 5th?

my car hits 4th at the end of the 1/4...

i can't imagine what it would take to have gearing that short to hit 5th in the 1/4...
