That's why I shaved my head bold 10 years ago. My wife thinks I'm sexy lol. And that's why I'm probably getting the Remus axle back oncoming spring. Cheers Robin |

The way the M2C drove away from M2 OG is just like the M3 F80 Comp(friend of mine) drove away from me in the OG M2. And just like previous model E63 Estate with 500BHP vs my OG M2 stock. So what would you expect? Cheers Robin |

Dampness factor.
The track conditions favour the the mid engine cars even more than normal, just saying...

If the M2C was tuned the gap would be much much wider! |

M2C is running bilstein Clubsport coilovers, eventuri intakes and some form of tuning box.
Stock M2C does 100-200kph in 9.8-10s. Regular M2 in 10.5s, the difference with them both stock isn’t ‘that’ big. The difference comes when you compare them tuned. |

As a 4C owner, as well as an M2 owner I was glad to see the 4C win, but...if I had a M2C I don't think I would feel the same way, might even be pissed.

That 4C in the drag race is definitely tuned. See the video below when it barely beats the 718 Cayman S even with a decent head start |

It's a pity that such a light sportscar like 4C is very good at outrunning other cars in dragraces but not so keen on laptimes.
Hockenheim Short. 4C. 1:14.00 M2 1:12.2/1:12.5 M2C 1:12.2 Nords: 4C 8:05 M2 8:01 M2C 7:52 Cheers Robin |

The specification on the M2C (owned by MMR Performance) was not listed on their website or Instagram or facebook. The only mod they mentioned was the Bilstein suspension. I also didn't see any piggyback module in their product line up so what type of tuning box module are you referring to? |

It's unfortunate that the 4C doesn't get more love. I saw one in red the other day and it was stunning, like a mini Ferrari.
It's just such a niche car within a niche segment. The Boxster/Cayman already don't sell much and they are livable on a daily basis, the 4C seems like a punishing car to own that's really just relegated to weekend/track use. |

Drag races are never really a great way to show case cars, too many variables. Rolling runs take away most of these variables. Stock vs stock there’s going to be a few car lengths over 100-200kph. Tuned it’s going to turn into bus lengths. |

The gap between the M2C and the M2 is consistence that of the M4 vs M2 so I believe at the time of the drag the DME was running on stock map. If it was tuned the gap would be like half the runway. |

With a RWD 2-series tuned to >500HP and >700Nm, which is easy with the S55, you'll have to use much larger wheels and tires than the ones of the M2/M2C if you really want to reach supercar accelerations. Else you'll just make your tires reseller a very happy man |

How does the 6 speed manual M2 get a better launch than the two DCT M2's that have launch control? We have seen it published so many times that we all know the DCT cars should have the edge off the line through the 1/4 mile. There's simply no way the DC2 OG M2 should be that much slower than the 6-speed manual version of the same car. The M2C is modded? This comparison is about as useful and informative as those YouTube video's of kids street racing from a roll.

In the sport bike world, the top speed war ended when they limited sport bikes to a 186. Point being; 0 to 60 times is no longer the main reason to buy a car. If your chasing 0 to 60 buy a Tesla or Focus RS or something like that. The M2 is great car from what I've read. |
