I manhandled one at CES and it blew my mind. Had the 200-400 I think it was, the one with the teleconverter built into it. There was a 5d3 with the 800 on it. Ridiculous, just ridiculous

I like the fast frame rate of my D4 a lot for action shooting with cars. It's actually like the opposite of "spray and pray" in my opinion. With a slower rate of like a D800 or 5D etc you have half the chances to get the shot you actually want, so you end up shooting full burst, for longer periods, and not as close to the precise moment you want. Most of the time when I was shooting Canon with the 5D 2, 3, or my 1DS Mark III, and also with the D800 and D800E, I would end up with a shot that is right before the moment the wheels lift or the car jumps the curb, or right after it lands, as opposed to getting the exact moment I really want. And I still walk with like 9000 frames shot in a single race. With the D4, I know I can wait for just before the moment I want, shoot a burst, and get exactly what I need from one or more of the frames. I'll still walk with thousands of throw away shots, but I know each time I get ready for a moment, my odds are better with high frame rate. And yea the better AF is like the icing on the cake. Although the 5D 3 has the same AF system as the 1DX, and the D800 and 810 are really good as well. Just not *quite* as dope.

Boss handed me a beat-to-hell 5D3 today to shoot with. It had some aftermarket grip on it, and most of the rubber on the body was loose/shifted or missing altogether. The shutter sounded like a pop can full of marbles. Supposedly had 400k+ shots on it. AF was decent I have to admit.
Later in the day I got the rental 1DX to play with. Practically brand new from Canon. Once again reminded me why I can't step back from the 1D series of bodies anymore.
For anyone thinking about it, beware, it's like crack.
Oh yea, 1D3 for sale.... real cheap

5D Mark III has the same AF as the 1DX.

I'm gonna get even more intimate with the 5D3 in a couple of weeks. But this one will be in much better condition.
1D3 still for sale
