Ya you can tune it like hell, but some of us prefer a beautifully engineered vehicle stock.
I respect F87LUV 's decision - I am not sure whether it makes sense to upgrade if you have the OG M2.

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.
I also don't wanna track a brand spanking new car. Just makes sense to keep my current car. This isn't a 1M. I can always get one if I change my mind later down the line.

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.
