I don’t blame you with the ridiculously low trade-in offer you got.

For me, the extra weight on the M2C is the turnoff. Almost defeats the purpose of the extra power. Personally, I feel as if they kept weight on the M2C to maintain the M3/4 stats as better performing. Hence why you can't get a carbon roof factory.
Ya you can tune it like hell, but some of us prefer a beautifully engineered vehicle stock. |

Most importantly, a manual M2C with Exec pack would have cost me $9,530 more out the door (that's assuming I got M2C for MSRP). This made my decision EXTREMELY easy. If I planned on making this a dedicated track car then perhaps my outlook would be different due to the S55 tuning potential. Since I'm not, I can say wholeheartedly I have zero regrets and I'm sure you won't either Last edited by Jcon157; 08-05-2018 at 06:01 PM.. |

I prefer the LCI taillights as well. I'm thinking about swapping them out on my M235.

The LCI tail lights are worth it. It's all LED bulbs with the exception of the reverse light.
Just make sure and get the European version; the US tails have red LED turn signals, instead of amber. Also, the 'anti-tailgating' rear LED fogs help with all the NY/NJ drivers that constantly rides my rear bumper.. It always pleases me to press a button and see them get literally blinded by their stupidity.. |

But let's be straight here - the M2C is absolutely the better performing car of the two, objectively speaking. It's also hard, IMO, to compare the looks of two cars when one has transfer/packing tape on it and hasn't been washed versus one that is very clean in that department. Something else to keep in mind - the M2's weight went up by ~5%...but the power went up by more than 10%...the N55 stock is pretty maxed out at the stock levels, and the S55 is always underrated...just pointing out the facts.

The HEX LEDs look much more aggressive, IMO. OG M2 or M2C..

Also I may or may not have test driven this 6MT 911 S with sport chrono and exhaust yesterday as well. I'm sure that didn't influence my decision here.

We can agree to disagree on the taillights.
