Obviously they will be very different drives but performance wise the M2 is on another planet, especially on a track. Remember when the E46 M3 came out (assuming most of the ppl on the forum were alive then)? Did you ever think that you could buy a car 24s a lap faster for less than it cost? Man, what will things look like 2 generations of cars from now?

A significant portion of the lap times dropping is due to tire technology improvements in the last decade, however I agree. I was around when the E46 M3 came out and never would one think that cars would make such great jumps. The 8 minute Nurbugring time was a benchmark for years. Now it's under 7 for super cars.
