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. |
You may well be right. That's not my point though.
Even if it's only faster by way of track prepping, it's still a car that is threatening to an M2C owner because it's a performance bargain in what is car that is capable of at least 80% of the M2Cs performance at a fraction of the price. People might also feel threatened by the fact that it's a critical darling. However, one could also argue that the M2C offers a shit ton of bang for the buck and is also a critical darling.
