I disagree about the 'track dedicated cars' in Europe being THAT much better. Sure there's a margin and they are ahead, but not by much and considering you've probably never driven a 5.0 on a track; I'd think you should just wait and see.

I cannot wait to see the backtracking and stuttering by M fanboys when the GT350 comes out. They're going to go on and on about build quality, refinement, and heritage.
BMW will sell more F80/F82 models in Europe than they sold E9X due to the new engine characteristics. The prices for petrol here are very high, also the taxes for larger displacement engines.

Track dedicated cars built in Europe by: Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche.

I'd like to see the comparative between the GT350 with the Track Pack and the 435i with the M Performance Goodies (but double the price nevertheless)
