I ask this after some board members have commented that the new M3 (MT obviously) doesnt give the same sense of speed as the M6 does despite similar quoted 0-62mph times.
Note this isnt about handling or fun etc....just pure acceleration.

0-60 is the dumbest benchmark for modern cars....it is almost always governed by traction.
A car is made or dismissed by 3rd and 4th gear performance - these gears take into account power, aero, gearing etc.... This is where M cars start to excel.
0-60 is for meat heads and was relevant in the 1970s to the 1980s.
