LOL maybe you can't

And I'm sorry but if an M car is supposed to be the most true example of the "Ultimate Driving Machine," shouldn't you be able to actually drive it? If you can't rev match, heel and toe, etc then you aren't truly driving - you're just steering. And faster is most definitely not always better. Driving feel > speed. That's why you'll see so many people tens of thousands more for a GT3 over a GTR.
so you don't understand me. can't doesn't mean inability, it means unwillingness to drive 6MT tamely. why don't you chime in again after you've driven a DCT and 6MT M5.
