Merc is STILL running a V8, but added TT's!

I re-read the articles on the Lightning Lap from C&D and saw the Merc SL was QUICKER than the M4.

What in the hell is the GT350 going to do to the M3/4?
What difference does it make if BMW uses a I6 or a V8? BMW is just going design/engineer one that's relatively muted anyway (see: F10 M5) so if it's sound you're looking for, you probably wouldn't have got it. As for everything else, HP/TQ, it's irrelevant because everyone in the class/segment is going to be within range of each other anyway, the GT350 is not a good example of what BMW should have done to the M3/M4.
