Really? You mean quickest to wind or highest RPMs? I never considered the 63 that way. I assumed the BMWs had the rev cars, since they engineer everything for constant high revs.

that's my point...and we all know how well m5board takes news like this. we've already got black series guys around here using "but in the twisties" line so gustav's crew isn't going to have much left if they find out about this.
