Some people on here act like in stock form this is already too fast. Maybe for them it is, but it's all about context. Case in point, the vert does slow it down (weight) but owning a liter bike makes it feel slow until you go full E85 kill map. Then it's a different story.
Turn traction control off and stomp it from a dig, the car is a mid to high 11's car.

Comparing it to a 328i is disrespectful, the 328i would get absolutely murdered.

Litre bikes are bikes, hard to compare but M4 on E85 stock turbos could rape one.

E85 FBO upgraded turbo's would absolutely kill anything not a hyper car.

OP how long have been riding liter sport bikes?

The current stock liter bikes run 10 seconds stock at 150 mph and a top speed of 180 to 188 GPS mph
I had a 125, then an mt10 (160bhp litre naked sports) from Feb 18 to Feb 20 then got my gixxer. I've done a few thousand miles on it - 2 or 3 I forget.

Welcome and enjoy. Good for you getting the convertible 6MT. I had an F83 6speed a few years ago. My wife is still mad I sold it. Great car. I've had a 991 since and now and F80 6MT.

Amazing car, I love YMB on mine and grow to love it more over the other colors aside from SMB Blue...

Thanks. Does the 911 feel much faster? 0-60 times aren't the whole of it.

Like I think I said above the M4 doesn't feel much faster than my 328i and I am considering a 911. Though a tune first is probably in order.

The 911 feels faster because of the size and sitting position. 75 in a 911 feels like 100. 100 in an M car feels like 50. Much more dangerous.

I had a 328 M 6MT and to me and the M3/M4 feels so much faster with a ton more torque.

Yeah people laugh when I compare the two but I drive them back to back (still have the 328) and it's nowhere near as much of a difference as I was expecting. Anyway.

Most modern 4 cylinder turbo with 250 torque will be quick up until 60 mph

My sons 2016 VW 1.8T Golf is very snappy in town. It's way more nimble than The M3.

M3 is more a HWY assassin

Ya the M4 doesn't have the transmission or character to really feel that snappy around town, also if you don't have the GTS diff software on the car the clutch action moving from a stop feels laggy.

Where the M4 is fast is at high speeds, and it's really fast, you leave tons of cars for dead

Def need to put it in the middle traction setting (MDM mode) and it will feel faster. The straight line runs with full traction does feel slower.

Yep - mdm, sport plus throttle, comfort steering and suspension. Practiced a few burnouts and putting the back out in corners - let's hope these tyres don't cost too much eh.
