Funny how they seemed to cherry pick the time done by a different driver (Uwe S) vs the time Christian ran for both. One could easily call the M2 CS time a 1:55.8 by that same methodology.

So realistically the GT4 is still a good bit faster as a 1 second delta is pretty big here.

To add, the GT4 was a manual and the M2 CS a DCT so I think once the GT4 gets PDK it is probably 2+ seconds faster here. Really not that close overall.

The M2 CS is heavy, but it makes up for that with a very underrated engine and lots of torque.

The GT4 is a precision weapon with a very special engine and balance, poise and handling ability you cant find unless you move to something well into the 100K range or more. I much prefer an atmospheric engine and that glorious sound of the Flat 6 too.
I noted all of this as well. GT4 is faster with a stick. Crazy CS fanboys.
