Who says the lighter weight can only be felt at track. It can be felt in daily spirited driving. Drive an M3 and then an M6. One can clearly feel the weight difference in agility due to the lack of heft.

More power or traction is not the substitute for weight in my opinion. I think BMW M6 needs to cut down on weight. It is getting two heavy.

It also has more hp than the previous Gen. M6 so, it's carrying the added weight with the added hp...
Also, with the tuning that was done on the M5 recently, 620hp isn't too far off, at minimal $$$
