Beautiful scenery but the guy in front is a complete idiot,going on the wrong side of the road on a blind apex,what a joke.He is lucky because there were a few cars and a motorcycle that he could have hit.He wasn't even able to drive that fast.

I hate to jump on the party pooper bandwagon, looks fun and all, but I'm totally against using the opposite side of the road for those hairpins, or at any time, as was evident nearly the entire time by the front car and less so, but definitely through the hairpins, by the camera car.

The M2 is not meant to be a point and shoot car, but that's exactly what I'm seeing here.

Slowing down to almost nothing for turns that were not at all tight, then mashing the gas as soon as the turn is over.

The M2 is made to carry a lot more corner speed than what I'm seeing here.

It actually seemed to me that the car up front was holding up the camera car through the faster turns.

As a motorcyclist, one of the scariest things we can encounter is a car coming at us in our lane at speed on a canyon road. Not good, guys.

Stay in your lane - get the corner speed up safely, but please stay in your lane on public roads.

Funny feeling that I'm getting almost every time when watching these type of videos is that I got amazed how awesome they sound and go these little M babies.

Then moment later I realize that I actually have one sitting in the garage.

This would play better on like a WRX or Civic Si forum. We can afford to go to the track.

I absolutely agree w you.

Dude wasn't even in his lane.

I hate people who drive like that.

The lead car seriously cannot drive.
