Its all about what you want in a driver IMHO. I have two RWD cars, both Benzes and then the Audi and Pcar... best of both worlds.

Thanks for that. I am beginning to think that from a roll there is nothing faster than the M5 in its price range. Maybe a newer GT-R but that's about it. Love that underrated power.
As a follow-up, slightly off-topic, but once my son finishes high school in two years I won't need the back seat anymore and the Turbo S looks very appealing (though I may keep the M5 too). Since you have one - two questions: 1 - How much faster is it from a roll than the M5 (no need to answer from a dig, I know - it's Veyron fast) and 2 - is the ride quality harsh in comparison? I am spoiled by the compliant ride of the M5. I test drove a 997 Turbo a while ago and it felt fairly stiff.
