The fact you keep comparing to cooking Mustang is laughable, and posting laps on Cup 2's doesn't support your narrative at all.

Than look at the Camaro 1LE laps. This are on super car 3s which are 220 thread wear. Still way faster than M2C. Narrative.
Also both Camaro and Mustang are underrated as proved by many dyno runs. Nearly 500 at the crank is the new standard for American V8s. Why is that so hard for BMW??
I know, I know. Emissions. But do I want to pay more for better emissions? Hell no. And apparently I don't have to!
EDIT: Also, M2 CS starts at a RIDICULOUS $83k. Really?
