Insane. That's what M8 power, 600 less lbs, and a dual clutch will do.

Downside with ZF 8-speed is you can't drop the clutch at 5000 rpm.

Just drop in a new exhaust its over.... those damn gas particulate filters are terrible.

Fast, to me, requires sound to match up.

Yeah it's really terrible and depressing. Cars are continuously getting watered down on so many fronts. I'm starting to feel like I should buy one last fantastic NA sounding car to hold on to long-term...

They're probably both underrated, but I thinking the M8 might be even more so. That might not be the case though.

550hp on dyno and with a quick flash 702hp. The 992 turbo S is a different beast.
