Compared to my Camaro 2SS, it feels so much more linear and 'predictable' in terms of its bite point. I don't care for the clutch on my Camaro at all, and it's not that it's particularly heavy. I just don't like the initial bite ('spring') compared to some other clutches I've driven. |

For me, I would've been happy even if the results were reversed. My M2 is meant to be a DD, to be able to perform so well against a track focused car, I'm content. |

can you elaborate? were they both second cars for the track or did they serve different purposes?
did you prefer the m2 because it made the better multipurpose car or were there other reasons related purely to driving dynamics? |

Sorry, but cars don't come into play too much until at least advanced run groups. Even then I was giving people fits in my E36 325. As we tapered into instructing and racing and our skills homes in the skidpad. It was harder to play the same games. Keep at it, you'll be amazed how much faster you get.

Lots of cliche in that video. Seems like most "journalists" these days regurgitate the same crap over and over. GT350 sounds awesome, mustang interiors suck, etc... Hell, the interior plastics and leather in a 2015 Mustang is no worse than my mom's F80 328i.

The MT test was at Streets Of Willow. A useless autocross of a "track" on the side of a hill. That track is a joke for a car comparison. |

- "you can hardly tell it's turbocharged, it almost feels naturally aspirated" - "virtually no turbo lag" - "something something little brother to the M4 something more drifty" - "it doesn't have an M motor but it doesn't matter" - "it's EPS but you can't even tell" And actually, the Mustang interior materials and build quality really are that bad particularly considering the price.

You think a stick shift somehow makes it more fair? What is fair about a 5 litre V8 versus a 3 litre inline 6? Jesus H. Christ, man! That M2 was extremely impressive.

Y'all know that for the M2 you can shorten and stiffen the clutch throw, and tighten and shorten the stick throw, with aftermarket parts, right?

I actually own both these cars and I have to say the review is 100% spot on. They are both amazing cars in their own way. In the end if you want something you can live with everyday the M2 is the way to go. If you want something that has character and gives you a permanent grin everytime you floor it, get the gt350

The funny thing is, I COULD FEEL ALL OF THAT SHIT. Can't trust reviewers as you don't know their experience or perception.

No one here --including me-- is disputing how impressive the M2 was in that video. I'm simply asking for an apples to apples comparison so that we get a more accurate subjective review on both cars. Getting some feedback regarding differences in clutch engagement, shifting feel, etc would have been nice. |

The stock light clutch (with clutch stop) is great for me. I'm interested in the shift upgrade hardware which you've mentioned in the past. What product is it and how much $ including labor?

Yeah its just outright sad that it left the factory like that! I love the car I really do, and I've seen a few in person they're gorgeous and the angles are pretty but a 10 footer if you want the impression of quality You get up close and you see that all over the place. I test drove a brand new mustang GT when the 15's came out and I fixed the door sill scuff plate for them I pointed out to he sales person that's unacceptable! |
