The throttle response is faster and the S55 put power down sooner. For example, coming out of Turn 11 (sharp hairpin), I can accelerate as soon as I straighten out the wheel and I'm going well above 110 at start/finish line. And don't get me going about the brakes, I took the M2 to Laguna Seca twice and I warped 2 sets of front rotors; the M2C brakes didn't even squeak after a full day of 5 tracks sessions. The M2C is a better M car in every way. Both M2s are factory stock w/6 speed.
I've driven both as well and I call BS - just another person trying to justify their purchase .
"I've driven both" is very different from owning both and driving both at decent track like Laguna Seca. So I'm going to go with that guy until you can provide something more substantive.

The same can be said for you, just another OG M2 justifying over paying for a car that was made better a year later. Funny how that works...
