As for the sound, I’m in the camp that feels like neither car sounds amazing. For me it’s the difference between “pretty good” and “not great.” I’m not deaf, anyone with working ears can tell the OG sounds better, but I think at the end of the day, a straight six will never sound amazing to me. The S55 on the other hand doesn’t sound good, but it’s not not nails on chalkboard either. Then again, I daily drove a 350z for over a decade so maybe I have an extraordinarily tolerant ear.

Thanks for the note.
I think it is so interesting that when 350z's were new most people liked how they sounded. I guess as they got cheaper and the people who bought them put less than desirable exhaust on them.
If I had an extra $20,000 to spend, I would buy a M2C, I do believe it's a better car. That doesn't make the OG M2, a bad car. For the price on used market, I don't know what else delivers the fun the OG M2 does.
