Default Blown is better!

A stock C32 AMG with a blown 6 with a A5 is actually faster on the highway than A4 C5. I always knew my C5's 3rd gear sucks but now I have proof. At 70-90 the cars are dead even but the C5 shifted to 3rd and the C32 just starts walking away, over 2 cars by 130.

It's not every day you see 2 cars with the same rated HP and 1 just walks.

You lost to better gearing, not more power. I'm surprised aerodynamics didn't play more of a role in the outcome (against the MB).
