Destroys any BMW on track time wise and is a better driving experience. Would I like a better interior sure , but whether you rev it out to 8300rpm or are just driving to work it's a special experience. Here is a session from Roebling raceway to show just how capable it is. Beat my fastest time in the Z4M by over half a second despite the Z4M being on Trofeo R's and me still learning the car .
How does the Shelby make you feel? Although the M2 is growing on me all the time and I want to keep it, I found it surprising how much I've enjoyed driving other vehicles. Other vehicles that can put the "This is why I love cars" in my head and a big grin on my face; while the M2 is a subtle appreciation, one that I have to think about and listen for.
Best driving experience I've had in ANY car . It's an amazing experience on track and even just taking it to the grocery store . Literally has no understeer with the factory track alignment , excellent steering feel , progressive rear end , amazing magnetic shocks , best manual shifter I've had since an S2000 etc . The motor is truly special in its powerband as well as its feel and character . The sound is incredible too . Bottom line it always feels special .
