Spartikus, my man, did you actually think i was a complete convert?
Am very pleased with South's work here though....and I do agree that the weight saving is a good call.
BUT if you're going to toss on those heavy M badges, gills and bigger than necessary sporty side skirts and front spoiler and rear facade, why not add 12 or 15 pounds of pure M love to maintain the identity? I mean, come on - it's getting a carbon fibre roof, so that should negate the weight and add a lower center of gravity.
Obviously we'll have the heavy M sport seats and the red tach - if that level of detail suggests this is a 100% M, why not just finish it off with some quads?
