I dont think I was expecting anything different based on the stated race specs (GTR tuned). Thanks for the post.

In the corners at Laguna Seca the GT R was really impressive.

i would have liked to have had a lap with a Pro driver in the E63S too to feel the difference.

In the context of people, this is like watching someone that has a full-time job, a family life, hobbies, works out regularly, etc. beat a roided up gym rat in a foot race. I love it. Sure, put them both in a gym (a track in the car's case) and the gym rat is going to "win" but who would you rather be the rest of the 99% of your life you're not in a gym (track).

Having them both makes me smile but not as much as the way I smile knowing that I didn't waste all that money on a Renntech stage one tune to get passed by a stock E63s wagon..

One a Swiss Army Knife the other a fine Scalpel....
