I don't see how any normal human with a normal mortgage could put the M2CS above the M2C, it's just not possible. If the list is made for rich people, sure, the M2CS is the clear winner of the two. |
Imagine for a second you could get an M2 CS for MSRP (going rate is more 95k-105k used). That top 10 list is as follows price wise (Including estimates on used prices):
1. M2 CS ($85k)
2. 718 GT4 ($105k)
3. 997.2 GT3 RS (~$250k)
4. 981 Cayman GT4 (~$90k)
5. GTI Clubsport S (not in US, ~£29k or $40k)
6. AMG GT R Pro (~$190k)
7. 987 Cayman R (~$85k for a 6 spd)
8. Audi R8 4.2 (~$80k-$90k)
9. 911 R (~$500k based on recent prices)
10. A45 AMG S (not in us, CLA 45 ~60k-70k)
The best German performance cars aren't cheap.
People seem to have problem with the idea that there is a better M2 based car that looks somewhat like the M2C with a similar engine but costs more and is garnering high praise. Journalists can say it's transformative, owners/drivers can say it's worth it, but people just refuse to believe it.
I remember EddieX (youtuber) had a review of his friends OG M2 after driving his other friends M2 CS. He asked his OG M2 friend if he was going to get a CS and he went "no it's too expensive for an M2". Later in the video EddieX goes "I thought the F87 M3 CS was not worth it over the M3 Comp, but the M2 CS was worth it over the M2 and M2C".
His friend didn't really seem to believe him (and had a look like he may have made a mistake underestimating the CS) and he just responded "you need to come out and drive it".
