Do I care if a Miata kicks M6 butt around an autocross course?? Absolutely not because he has to drive the car in public! |
Actually you are wrong with this opinion that there is no ideal car for every track, a few spring to mind. The GT2, GT3RS, Caterham R500, the F430SC and the R8 but to name a few.
On any track weight is the key to producing a car which is both capable of a tight track as well as a long and flowing one. This is why the M6 will have problems on anything other than a track with long straights and fast flowing corners. Currently there is only two M cars in production which is suited to track work and they are the new M3 and the Z4M coupe, all others are to compromised for anything other than a bit of fun.
