Fair question--but right back at ya.

It was intended as a lighthearted assertion based solely, though perhaps insufficiently, on my experience with many other fairly powerful RWD cars. With the apparent exception of the daily-miracle-launches of a 720S, few RWD cars can put down their best launch times anything like every time... whereas 4WD cars tend to get far closer to optimal every time.

Anyway, we're going down a path here I didn't intend to ignite... naught but opinion on my part backed by zero firsthand experience with this car.

All that said, Mike's car is a Unicorn (a 2.51s 0-60mph and 10.05s 1/4 mile)--I wouldn't rule it out under road conditions. On a track with prep--ba-bye, M5.
