That 20 sec video says it all. No linear power delivery, steepest part of the power curve all under 3000 rpm, already flattening out at 5,000 rpm, inverted peaky V torque curve peaking at 4000rpm mistakenly mated to RWD.

There are evolutionaly mistake in cars gen too. This car is a freak DODO trying to take a flight and getting punished.

The driver did fine, expect for buying the first and last RWD turbo M3 car (next gen will be AWD).
Yes!!!! The torque delivery of turbocharged cars, especially when you are talking about over 400lb-ft, really should be paired with AWD. Yes, RWD makes for better dynamics and steering response, but if you want dynamics and response, then you also need a normally aspirated motor as well. And if you must go FI on a RWD car, supercharging is a better way to go.
