IMO there are several differences that show up.
1) Power is much more linear with the S55 motor(and it pulls right to redline) The N55 has a lower more abrupt torque kick.
2) The N55 can overheat at HPDE's the S55 will not...(Air to Water vs Air to Air IC's)
3) The S55 motor easily produces around 500 WHP with a Stg 2 tune. The N55 struggles to reach 400WHP due to FP issues.
4) The N55 sounds MUCH Better than the S55 with OEM exhausts.
5) Steering feedback is much better in the M2C (still not as good as a P Car)
6) I like the fact the OG M2 could fit 18's to it. I had to spend $5K+ to upgrade to an Essex BBK kit to do so.

Great summary. How about the brakes ?
