So much torque!
I got my car in December, and have been driving on snow and ice, and on snow tires since I bought it. Finally swapped on the stock wheels (after getting the 343M's powder coated a lovely satin black!) and PSS tires two days ago. I expected all the wheel spin/traction control to stop, but it seems like nothing can hold the pavement! Still getting the rear end loose in MDM mode all day long...
 It's fun, but now I see why some of you guys are getting 12" rears... |

Don't even think about M6.... it's too powerful and torquey for a guy is driving AWD RS5. Completely Day and Night I think you need to start with M3/M4 MT Manual transmission has less torque transferred to the rear wheel and much more controllable in case of doing something crazy, but if there is noway to get anything except M6 then let me know to give you some hints

Can you redline your M6 in 1st and 2nd gear, and make some fast progress at the same time?
