It is my understanding that the ECU along with the electronic diff somewhat detune the car in the first 2 gears to assist in getting the power to the ground. The Pista is very light and has zero turbo lag. If some sort of intervention wasn't in place, the car would just spin tire.

What we saw in this race was the Pista not get the proper launch due to this, the AWD advantage of the M5, and the Pista couldn't make up that loss afterwards.

The Pista pulls extraordinarily hard from 80 to 150

However, respect to the M5 for being 4300 pounds and still being crazy fast and comfy. I love mine, and am ordering another shortly
Everything about this pic is gorgeous
