We could argue all day but... the stock suspension is still awful on anything less than perfect roads (that don't exist)... the car bounces like a trampoline on any bump and removes any confidence from the driver.

Agree
Sport Breaks and Sport seats can be ordered at time of purchase, which make the M2c almost perfect but what a frustration not to be able to order mperf suspensions ... such a bricolage to add it afterwards ...

I don't even know what's going on in this thread anymore.

I thought it was about OEM suspension, of which I've had no issues at all. I've driven my car on both smooth surfaces in CT and then NYC surfaces (aka artillery-shelled roads, with a side of Tomahawk Cruise missile'd sections of roads).

I mean, you bought an M car........was the expectation to have it both be able to ride smooth as butter over harsh roads like a Rolls-Royce AND then automatically time attack corners like an Ariel Atom with ultra stiff suspension?

Is the expectation here to have a porn star for a wife in both looks and in the bedroom who has a PhD in Bio-Engineering as well?

One can only hope. I'm still hoping. She's out there.

And wtf was going on about nitrogen?

Even with the..... less than stellar roads here in Denver, I've had no real complaints about the M2C suspension.

And as far as wife? Ex-Elite gymnast, knockout, PMP certified, Six-Sigma certified, three Master's degrees (Project Management, Public Health, MBA) and about to start a forth (in Finance). While working as a Healthcare Exec.

I waited a long time, but ended up choosing..... wisely.

If we were talking about porn stars in this thread I'm sure they'd have nitrogen filled implants.

Hellooooooooo

Hydrogen would be lighter. And better for any flaming burnouts one might attempt.

I dunno man. I've seen enough australian burnout competitions to no longer be sure what constitutes 'success' vs 'failure' in those situations.

What?! People are still using nitrogen? I use CO2 in all my vehicles. No, really.

I got a Power Tank for my truck years back and it's still one of my favorite toys.

I can't comment on the improved handling but if anyone needs to add fizz to their sodas while on the trail ...

These are feral gatherings. I would love for you to fly over here and make a documentary. I would pay to watch.

"Feral" gathering, that's funny, I only associate that word to stray, street cats..

I've been to worst congregations; many years ago, I use to street race in Bronx, NY and got along with everyone.

People, feral or otherwise, are only scary if don't time to understand them, I make friends everywhere I go..

If you drive an M2C with the M Performace Coilovers, I don't think you will like the stock suspension anymore. It does feel stiffer but removes the "jarring" and provides more responsive steering the way a sports car should be.

So that's why you aren't worried about furlough. Smart man.
