The 5-60mph metric is to be taken with a grain of salt. There is a very high level of variability with the numbers since it is a test difficult to accurately reproduce.

That being said, the M2 is still one nifty little beast
Doesnt quite make sense those figures from car and driver
If the M4 was really 1.5 secs faster to 110 mph - That would mean it is also be approx 1.5 secs faster over the 1/4

For the record i took a trip to drags trip on wed and the M2 trapped 113.48 mph at 12.7 - no launch control
Certainly quick.. In the 12s bone stock.

Did you try launch control at all or not use it because of abort issues (my understanding is that an aborted run will cause it to shut this system off for awhile- and of course, lifting off the throttle at any point in the first few seconds will abort the run )
