I agree the GT-R is in another performance league, and I don't believe Audi has even thought about targeting the GT-R with the RS5 (vehicle objectives so far apart IMO).

As for the 2003 RS6 performance, it was mid 4 second range to 60 mph and quartermile was in the high 12's.

I would suspect the RS5 will be at least that quick, if not quicker with tweaks Audi will likely do (tranny, gearing, ECU tuning, weight, etc).
