Slow? Compare to what? Its big and its in the mid to low 5s from 0~60. Anything faster will be almost exotic and 10k more.

If top secret can drop in the V8 and turbo charged it in a G35 Coupe, I'm sure there is more then enough room in the M for you to go beyond that.

I haven't driven the M's, but I know the difference between the FX35 and FX45 wasn't that big a deal (at least to me). The 45's additional power was only really noticeable when flooring it from a light or passing at 80 mph. Otherwise, they felt the same, and the 35 gets significantly better MPG.
But that's a whole different vehicle, so the M probably does feel different. How much, I dunno. Just my $.02

I do believe that there should be more packaging difference than just power,BUT
A friend from UP Michigan was visiting with his NA FX35,one of the 3 fastest of those and we are both lowered and railess.Cars drive alike and sound similar but he had to downshift more and on my test hill he went 85 ,I did 80 stock and now do 105.Playing ,I short shifted at 5K,and partial throttle and did the 85...The 45 is a lot more powerful
A friend with a stage 4 FX35,worked trans(Level 10) raced a M45 and his FX was ahead to 60 when the M45 pulled even and then pulled ahead...Interesting story...With the Whipple there will be no need for the race
Sorry,did ot read the whole thread before postiing..mileage is about $300 more per year.I get 20.5 on the hwy.The 45 drop in a G was done in Japan and works well and the motor is built like a rock with 6 bolt mains
