Granted that's not the track, but you can feel the M5 weight even in the corners. Not saying it's going to be great, but hides its weight very well IMO
That's true. Weight is low and mid mounted.

For a street only car, it's a definite win.

On another thread someone posted their m3 Cs 0-60 of 3.4s, which is great in insolation but compares poorly to to model 3 (which is something like $30k cheaper as well). That member should have picked 1/4 mile trap speed or 0-100mph time or lap time or something else.
True. Although, the Model 3 Performance is $80k once fully loaded. But then again, the M3CS is $100k plus so you are right, haha.
