Has anyone noted that the 4th-5th-6th gears of the M2's DCT are too long? This is the first cause because the supremacy of the Boxster/Cayman in drag race. Only after this aspect comes the difference in weight.
On the M2 in 5th gear you can reach 250kph/155mph before shifting to the 6th gear.
That is the problem.

Not if you're on the long straight of Nurburgring. You'll be riding the limiter for quite a while at 155mph. Trust me. You want to derestrict it and change up

Theoretically, the Cayman would be a better comparison then to the M2, right?

Perhaps the end result would have been wider with the 718CS... because the Boxster is heavier and didn't even have its roof up...

Here in Canada you can easily make the 718S cost double the price of the M2 ($63K vs $120K). P cars are incredibly over priced here compared to US.
