Yes, but he drove the M4 slower than a much heavier X6? I dunno

good point, the M4 handles better then the X6 but i think in the straights the X6 M made up the lost time and the M4 may have struggled for traction at times too

Willow Springs is a fast track with long straights which favor the higher horsepower X6M apparently. Randy Pobst is an excellent driver, much better than Steve Millen in my opinion.

I agree with you, the M4 must have had some traction issues in order to have a slower lap time than the X6 M. I will need to watch the video.

good points and yes, that would explain why for example a Lexus GS F (no hate to this car i love it) is faster then a 997 Turbo

Yeah, because a 997 Turbo would walk a Lexus in every single way
