Altho, the engine warranty is thrown out the window at that point for either car, and the required mod list is no more expensive than the price delta bn M2 & M2C cars. You’re just not going to be able to get as much reliable power on track out of the N55 vs S55, is all.
I realized this also this year. I have not been able to make much headway in terms of my lap times on the ring this summer. I was stuck around 8:14-8:20 in multiple days in July and August. It left me frustrated and puzzled. Then the last day I did was late September, with ambient temps about 20-25F lower than before, and I shaved ~14s off my time.

Stock engine and cooling OG M2, same tires in all sessions. I could tell the car pulled harder out of the corners and up the hills. I’d like to think I suddenly found my inner Stig, but that’s only partially true.
