Nobody compares stock to mod so pointless discussing how a modded M2 might be potentially faster.

Anyone that can afford an M4 can just easily afford mods.

Your one dimensional objective can be achieved with any car that has aftermarket mods. Why spend that much if you just want thrills? Buying a new car and then mod it the way you do the new car warranty will be voided. Why even bother to buy a new car in the first place?

Anyway in no way I see this 'mod' M2 an improvement over a standard M2 in shape, form or function let alone an M4 but if mod is your game then yes it is a much cheaper M car to play with.
