It's easier to be quick in quarter then a road course, and many AWD even RWD cars are absolute monsters in the 1/4 so noting new IMHO. To that point an M5 would destroy the G80, but the weight is ridiculous. These cars just keep getting larger and larger the AMG sedans look like SUVs.

how would an M5 destroy a highly tuned AWD G80? The M5 can't go past 700's hp without bending a rod (unless you do a $60k engine build) v the S58 engine can probably handle a lot more. And the weight argument is wrong- figures are exaggerated for the G80 bc those are fully loaded with options. I plan on ordering no extra tech options, adding CF bucket seats, ceramic brakes, lightweight wheels etc |
Best of luck to you, as you seem to know what you are doing.
