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.
I think weight isn't such a big issue with tires these days, or maybe I've just slowly gotten used to it. Even an X3M with r compound tires could probably pull over 1g on a skid pad. I have no complains with my M5s ability to change direction, stop, accelerate, or hold a corner.
