To me, the important information will be;
Is it fun to drive, is it faster on a track (the 'Ring), does it make me smile to drive it on a twisty road, does it sound good and will it leave the MB's and Audi's behind me on the twisties.
If it ticks those boxes, it doesn't matter (to me) whether some fat MB might out accelerate it in a straight line. Let them enjoy going fast straight ahead while we enjoy the M3/M4 when the roads have corners.
If it does the above, then I don't care if it only had 300hp... Low weight and an agile engine is what I hope we will get  |

There are some that seem to get caught up on the hp number. Clearly the direction in more recent years has taken a different focus than just an outright hp number. For those that are feel free to get the Audi or merc if that's what they think is going to make them happy
