I drove an LP560-2 for a week and really enjoyed RWD on that car. As other have said, it's a lot more fun. Also the weight in the front of an AWD is really a setback.. it's useable power vs additional weight issue at hand.. Engineers need to be creative in the next coming M models.
Just curious. Where did you get your engineering degree?
