And at those places I wish for a V8.
Yes, both the cars you mention weigh 200-300lbs more than the M2, but they are both faster than an M2 as well. Nonetheless, the question is do you care about lap times, or a nimble driving experience.

The only time I took my 6th gen SS with MRC to 140+ I felt like I was going to lose it - not confidence inspiring. Maybe the 1LE and GT is better now, but when I had it, it wasn't. But was a great sound and very impressive handling. |
The SS 1LE is completely different from a standard SS.
Completely different bushing set, MRC tuning , bigger/stiffer sway bars, grippier and much wider tires.
