We all have different opinions on what the priority should be. That's why we vote.

Don't worry. It looks like the support for the A8 topic is really strong. If it doesn't get selected this month, it certainly stands a great chance for next month.

Beyond that, the issue is torque management and a custom tune will be required, but that's getting off topic I reckon.
I agree, but I'd like to add that just because it's a manual doesn't fully excuse a car from being able to launch in its factory configuration. There are at least some reasonable expectations at play especially since line-lock, launch control, "triple threat", etc. were heavily marketed.

We're not talking about getting into the 10s. Most of us M6 ZL1 guys would be happy with 11s. And it's not like it's just a few guys having trouble launching. Lots of guys with the M6 are struggling, including nearly every M6 ZL1 owner.
