I'd love to spend a week in an M6! Just need someone to supply a car.

Traction from stationary wasn't evaluated, mostly because it falls outside my main areas of interest. I can tell you I applied WOT in second gear in a straight line without traction control intervention (great pavement), and saw the blinking light at speeds above 100 km/hr in 4th gear in marginal traction conditions.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires are probably not great tires in the wet. I've run Dunlop Direzza Star Specs on my track car with what seems like much better wet traction.
