We need more reviews with pro drivers on and off track with metrics to see if the car feels less capable, but number wise is more capable in most ways absent the 0-60.

I could not agree more. I've watched every original review I can find, and they are so contradictory-
One reviewer says it stops slowly; another says it stops really well.
One reviewer says there's too much body roll; another says there's barely any.
One reviewer says it's too heavy, and another says you can barely feel the weight once you adjust your turning/breaking.
One reviewer says the transmission upshifts too slowly, while another says the ZF is lightning-quick
One reviewer says the car's handling is poor, while another reviewer is just whipping and drifting the car around a narrow mountain road.
What I HAVE seen across a few reviews is people who aren't totally clear on how the M buttons are set up for them. Certainly not everyone, but based on that and the varied and contradictory conclusory statements, I'm not sure that they're all testing the cars with the same settings.
I can't wait to see people truly track this car and do an A-B test against equivalents. That's not the M5 buyer in me asking for that; that's the scientist in me.
