I'm glad someone understands the greatness that is the flat torque curve of the S65B40 engine. Anyone that says they wish the M3 had more torque has no idea what they are feeling and should have bought a C63 slushbox I guess. Did anyone post up the link to where the M3 has more torque down low to the wheels then the Z06 when factoring in the gearing? I'm not reading this whole thread as I am sure it tuned into an M3 versus 335 debate.
