You were able to do 3.7 with your car even with launch control?

It seriously doesn't bother you that the S6 (not RS6) with 420 HP or the S8 is faster than M5 (0-60 and 1/4 mile)?

I get the "fun" on the track but still knowing the above does nothing to you?
It doesn't bother, because I simply don't believe the times posted by Car&Driver for the S6 or the S8. If I encounter one in the real world, I'll let everyone know who wins.

The only All Wheel Drive car I wouldn't mind having is an Audi R8. Even the 458 Italia isn't AWD and it comes in slighty behind the AWD GTR.

I'd rather see BMW shed some weight off future ///M cars rather than go AWD. It's the weight that's killing the ///M's not the lack of AWD. RWD is one of the last qualities that ///M cars still have after they decided to use turbos instead of NA engines. If they ever put AWD on an ///M car, I think I might have to quit the brand. Lol!
