But after you drive it several times and get it up to speed on the highway it is game over. And the launch...wow! As Vic said-not rocket science like the M5. And you actually get "control" not "spin sideways and watch the other guy take off".

I can tell you without question that it is by far the best move I have ever made. I was so committed to sticking with the M6 order or just keeping my M5. I actually started to turn around on my way to the dealer the last time I test drove it. It was like I was fighting myself but I just could not help myself. As Henry wold say "The Force is strong"-lol!

I shutter to think about how close I came to not allowing myself to experience ownership of this glorious machine.-quite literally.

Of course, I do have an M car in the garage to enjoy too when I get that need for a crazy torque run!
Right on. Yeah, it is interesting as after this weekend tracking the M5 at Laguna Seca it pushed me over the edge into the camp of lightweight nimble performance over HP and TQ. Just much more fun to drive. Yes, different animals but if I had to choose one, it would be P-car. BUT, I am going to hedge my bet and wait until next June to see what the M4 holds.
