I believe (as I have mentioned several times before) the S63tu is one of the most amazing V8TT in current market, properly mounted on a car with amazing M DCT (another best or one of the best DCT in market) and the master piece of engineering (Active M differential) to support the required traction IN ROLLING...  |
Bro, I'm reading between the lines here, are you saying a stock M5 should be able to keep up with a 458 in a roll race?
