The money spent for the M2C is not insignificant so it's normal to feel defensive on that expenditure.

Still, the CTR is not for me but I certainly wouldn't begrudge anyone who jumps at that price to performance proposition that Honda has presented.
While definitely a capable car, that car was track prepped and didn't run in stock form. A track prepped M2C would beat it I would imagine, as it has on almost every other track in the world.
