As for M, more HP/torque isn't going to cut it. M needs to deliver something that is as fun to drive in 35 mph zones and 2nd gear corner exits as it is at the track. My Boxster S only has 315 HP, but I have fun everywhere I drive it. And I never had a dull drive in my 235 HP ZHP.
Different strokes for different folks. My M4 is as fun to drive in 35 mph zones and 2nd gear corner exits as it is at the track.
