Well, it's official.
This thread has been added to my most annoying threads list. 1) MT vs DCT 2) M2 isn't a real M Car (aka the engine) 3) M2 vs M2C 4) e92 M3 ZCP vs non-ZCP 5) Turbo vs Naturally Aspirated

Though, I was really going for the “international man of mystery, where did he find that information” look. |

It's because if you look at the start of all 3 races, the OG DCT guy starts the latest of all 3 cars. OG MT jumps the start, followed by the M2C DCT who starts at the correct time, followed by the OG DCT who lags the launch all 3 times. Jumping the start is a big advantage; OG DCT should have beat the 6MT and should have placed in between the C and 6MT. I've ran my LCI DCT with a M2C DCT a few times. After about 100 mph the C runs away quickly, but until then it's not a night and day difference.

I'll include a couple of pics of my ZL1 6mt on the off chance there's someone viewing this, that's looking for a premium example of one, and has an M2 Comp 6mt in prime condition, looking for a trade Last edited by TEST DRYVER; 04-28-2021 at 08:13 AM.. Reason: Added pics |

In order to ensure extremely precise wheel location, play-free ball joints are used to transmit transverse forces, similarly to the base M2. “similarly to the base M2”, So sounds like this "play-free ball joint" can be found on both M2 and M2C The longitudinal forces passing through the chassis are transmitted into the torque struts directly via special elastomer bearings, which simultaneously deliver the desired rolling comfort. A noticeable difference is the decreased level of roll under turn-in, one of the M2Â’s noticeable flaws. "deliver the desired rolling comfort", no, more direct force transmission does not give you better rolling comfort, it only makes the ride harsher. "A noticeable difference is the decreased level of roll under turn-in, one of the M2's noticeable flaws. " Didn't he previously mention that this ball joint can be found both on M2 and M2C? And the fact is all the bushings and joints are the same from M2 to M2C, no change is made According to the chief engineer, the steering software was finetuned to allow for a more precise turn-in using less lock on the steering wheel and therefore producing less roll. "using less lock on the steering wheel and therefore producing less roll" On M2/M2C, steering software tuning only changes the desired assist, since M2 does not have variable-ratio steering, so it is not possible to allow less lock just by re-calibrate the software. From what I understand, what he's trying to say here is that M2C steering has a more obvious steering torque build-up, so that under the same vehicle speed and steering angle, the effort is more, which can reduce the chance to over turning the steering at corner entry So, what the hell is going on here.

Back on topic, does anyone know if the OG and M2C use the same steering rack setup? I drove my friend's DCT '18 M2, and the steering felt so much better than my M2C. More direct, more centering force (like it had more caster). Any technical differences or just in my head? I just read the year old post above, which seems to indicate that the M2C should feel better but IMO (when it comes to steering feel) it doesn't...
