I'm not trying to start anything, but please tell what means shit then? Overall power to weight? Weight balance? Steering feel? Suspension setup? Aero? Tires? Transmission? Stopping power? Blah blah
All these things are what produces a ring time. A ring time is arguably flawed but its a simple way to access the sum of all the parts in terms of a car's competance. Especially for sport orientated vehicles.
Is shouldnt be the sole criteria for car ownership but to say only simpletons pay attention to it is a bit silly.
Looking at ring times for a dodge caravan is idiotic. Looking at ring times for a M2 is not.
I can argue the M4 GTS was designed soley around trying to achieve a good ring time. And why do people like it? Becuase it usually takes a badass car to put up a time like that.
Btw, i would never consider a type R over a m2.
