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?
It'll be faster obviously. Especially as manufacturers use more CF, electric turbos and mild hybrids.

Having said that, these lap times just do not matter to me. Just because they are faster doesn't necessarily mean they are more fun. Pretty much all M cars are already too fast to be fully enjoyed on the streets! I'm more interested when they reduce weight and increase that word we all hate... feel.
