Her car is a good 400#’s lighter, so the 540 would likely be even bigger of a gap as it’s heavier than her 240. She also has the B58 motor as the 540.
Because everyone does quarter mile runs on their daily commutes. This is exactly why I dumped my M4. Where the hell am I going to really use that much power? Again don't get me wrong the M4 is an incredible car. But I feel the 540 M Sport is plenty for little ol' me.
