Note that I totally agree that the S55 engine is much better, track-capable, and tunable than the N55. And I surely don't claim to be a great pilot. My M2 is my DD, and the only times I drove sport cars on a track, it was in video games |

Because the 1M was limited, sought after, and hard to get, it was reasonable for the "hype" associated with the introduction of the M2 (as the follow up to the 1M) to be very high. Fast forward a couple of years and we have the M2C - which replaces the OG M2 on paper, but in reality is an exercise in emissions management, right? Not quite the same thing as a new model. More of a massaged model... By the time the G80/82/87 comes out, of course any iteration of the F87 will be heavily discounted. You've got a new model, with a new motor, and updated everything. The M2C is basically a bridge (a great bridge, mind you) to that point. At least from my perspective...

No problems driving really hard on track either apart from brake cooling needed and quite annoying fuel starvation in long hard full throttle right turns IF and only if the tank is below 25-30% full. |

Anyway, I'm going to put this video here because going sideways is a Euro thingy....
It's the most renown carmag in the Netherlands and every year they are in search for the most ENTERTAINING new performance car. This time at my 'hometown' racetrack: Assen/MotoGP. It's not solely about pricetag/horsepower/laptimes, all those factors weigh in. What's the most entertaining car on the road and on track. In general. 'Strangely' in this video M2C gets more or less the most airtime of them all Pista anytime and M2C please. There are subtitles btw. From 5:05 onwards M2C: Edit 4:33 it starts: Cheers Robin Last edited by Robin_NL; 12-25-2018 at 01:39 AM.. Reason: typos sorry:) |
