Thanks for the response. Sounds sensible to me. The lag on the M5's V8 is so much better than the 996TT I owned that, with another couple of years R&D and the M3 being their most important car, I really think/hope it will be a non-issue as will the redline if the manage to get it to 7500 or so.

Overall I'm sure the car will be a winner (and as I said many pages up the myriad chassis changes are most important to me), but i respect the fact that turbo lag can ruin an individual enthusiast's experience especially when used the immediacy of the S65. Here's hoping.....
