X10000. It's pretty crazy what a widebody, aggressive bumpers, giant brakes, good looking wheels, a proper transmission, S powered motor, bolstered seats...ah hell, the thing is just dope. Kind of hard to believe it's related to the 2 series at all. It's just a badass car. I don't have one any more but it's still my background car in Forza.

Yep!

Lots of mutual feelings BigKutta. After three years, my car is still turning heads, and generating smiles everytime I get behind the wheel too. Perfect mix of style and performance. It's something the G87 folks don't quite understand. Many happy years to come.

there is something special about this car, the bulldog looks and the fun eager nature

miss mine, wish I coulda kept it

if my financial situation ever changes and I can have a collection, the M2C will be part of it along with an E86.

both cars speak to me in a special way

Can’t say I’ve lost an ounce of enthusiasm for this car in 4 years. Still love taking my Sunday morning drive in it, even though it’s my daily. And take pictures of it at random times.

Baege - How is the Cayman GTS 4.0? How do you like living with it daily instead of the M2C? I drove one the other day and loved it, but not sure if it warrants letting go the M2C (for me at least). Will need more seat time.

as a daily, I would probably pick the M2C over the GTS 4.0

the M2 has better low end torque, you can see out of it better, it has better clearance, it has more space, it is more fun in traffic since you can access quick acceleration at lower rpms, it has more playful handling at lower speeds

for a weekend car, I would take the GTS 4.0, a much more visceral and emotional engine and manual, more focused handling and feel, and better sound INSIDE the car

it's just much more of an event to drive the GTS 4.0 as it a more focused car

but as a daily I would take the M2, driving the GTS in traffic and on boring roads is just down right frustrating (ask me how I know!), the M2 is a much better tool for that job

I wish I could have both, a fun daily in the M2 and a focused weekend car, but not possible for me in my current situation

Interesting points. I too felt the GTS4.0 was a more visceral, loud, and better driving car with more drama.

Regarding the second point, what do you describe as a boring road? Just your regular back roads and streets? I find fun on most roads in my M2C, so wondering if the GTS will be fun there too.

by boring I mean straight urban roads with 40-50 km/hr speed limits, lots of lights/stops, and almost no curves

usually there is traffic too, which means you can't even accelerate quickly in first

when I drive the GTS in that context, I am like there is no point to driving this car now and it's downright frustrating

Haha. While my M2C can be seen around Tysons once in a while, that wasn't me!
