If you think a detuned s55 is going to solve your problems and is a deal breaker, I think the M2 might not be for you. I wish I could be viewing more chassis component threads vs carbon roofs, hood bulge and options threads.
Don't get me wrong, the s55 is great and has insane potential, which has been proven. But the n55 has the same relative potential, unless we are talking about over 600whp. If the n55 is a deal breaker then I'll assume a $2400 turbo that could give you close to 600whp, isn't in your sights. (When they offer back-end flash options)

It has everything to do with the character of the motor. How does it rev? How responsive is it at various RPM ranges? How does it hold power in the upper RPM range?
If these things don't matter to you, fine, but you can't blame someone else for caring.
