That's not what you said ol' sport. Here's what you said:

...no legit track test has liked the throttle response.

Your ignorance is showing. And the underlined part is factually untrue.
Actually, most of that entire statement is just totally wrong. Multiple people have done the math and shown the optimum shift point is 7300 RPMs. Why? Because it's still making max power and an upshift and keeps you perfectly in the max power band.

You act like BMW (and the S65 specifically) was the only V8 engine ever put into a car. It's a special engine, no doubt but it's not the epitome of the M3 line. If it was the end all be all, why did a V8 only find it's way into an M3 once?
