So did all of you read what the owner of the M2C says in the youtube comments?




It's what I'm always saying - some light modding to M cars, and the latest and greatest GT3's & GT3 RS's are perfectly within reach, and it's drivers skills that tilt the balance in favor of one or the other being faster at the track. And no, that doesn't mean the BMW needs to have a pro driver vs a complete rookie in the GT3 either!

But please, do keep comparing ring times and thinking a GT3 should be able to crush an M 'because the spec sheet says so', it makes it so much fun

Get your heads out of the brands ass.
Sounds like some really brave statements - so you're a better driver than the one in the 3RS in the video, right? Please, do share some of your videos at the track so we can be awed and schooled by your prowess behind the wheel!

And it doesn't seem like others are the ones lost in dark places, perhaps you can be enlightened by reading the M2C owner's comments?

It’s a rookie move and hard lesson to assume price of vehicle =’s faster on the race track when you get to a certain level of performance cars with similar hp figures. This mentality is driven by marketing and image more than reality and automakers exploit it.

Precisely! You can clearly tell the armchair racers from people that actually flog their cars at the track, what's disappointing is how many folks that go to the track still think they should buy their way into faster times by upping the hardware, when they are nowhere near the capabilities of the car. Gotta mod the driver...
