Clearly I'm venting about turbo 6 inadequacies to the wrong crowd. It is a matter of personal preference I suppose, and for me owning an M2 showed me how much I REALLY enjoy a V8. And t be clear I'm not talking peak numbers, I'm talking about high revving power than encourages you to rev north of 7000rpm instead of short shifting at 5500rpm.

And I'm serious, a V8 swap into an M2 would be pretty frikkin amazing in my opinion.

The reason I posted this here is because the video makes a few references to the M2C. It had the lap record at that "track" until the Mustang and Camaro showed up. I really though I'd find a drivers car with the M2. And in many ways it is. But it's missing a few key elements like high end power. And I miss my Mustang. Heavily modified in terms of suspension and handling, but still way less expensive than the M2. And with better sound and better track numbers. I do think the M2 is a special car. But it's missing the magic of a V8 powertrain.
