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.
Why do I gotta be a "unicorn". Isn't there a more masculine term we can use here? Lol
