Hi guys,
First, I never owned a powerful car before so I’m fairly ignorant on what to expect. I have a new (600mi now) 06 M6 w/ 18” wheels. The other day I took it to a deserted road with TC off. From a stop I shifted into first, then after the car began to move at idle I floored it. In the higher RPM range (around 5k) there was a little wheel squealing, but not as much wheel spin as I expected, and certainly none at lower RPM. I shut it down just after I shifted to 2nd. I repeated this a few times with about the same result. Seem normal to you, or do you think my car may be underpowered? (BTW, I know this is not the best way to launch, just testing out the car's behavior).
