I mean the CS looks good, but these 2 cars could not be further apart in the performance spectrum. It's not just that the Vette is faster, it's in a league with Ferrari and Audi R8 when it comes to performance. It will blow the doors of ANY M2.
Only thing comparable is the price. And that's kinds sad to be honest.

Ok, good point. I think the fact that people try to compare them as if they were in the same class of car is sad.

I would be so embarrassed to be seen in the C8 that I'd have to wear a disguise whenever I went out in it. This would add too much to travel time. |

M2: A lot of fun to drive even at slower speeds. Seats four when required. Looks stylish but not over the top. C8: Gauche. |

I don’t know who really fits in the back of an M2. When I sat in the back, I was surprised I fit in my 135is but my head hit the back in the M2. Seats make a nice pallet for my computer bag though I guess.
Again....people think a German car is better because it’s German. M2 is nice but honestly it cannot compete with the C8 on any metric....except the back seat. Yay BMW wins lol. |

I like the M2 a lot, but gone are the days of writing off the vette with stereotypes. It looks to be an incredible machine, and I'm excited to drive it. Btw- I'm one of the people who will cross shop m2/c8/gt350 for a weekend car. Right now leaning c8... just wish it came in manual. |

To some people the C8 shouts "Speed Racer" while the BMW gets the job done flyin' under the radar without being pretentious.

This thing pull 1.09g on Pilot Sport 4s tires. Do you have any idea how good the chassis has to be to do that? Of curse not having the weight on the front helps, but that thing has a skinny 245 section tire at the front. Speaks loads about the balance, which is one of my favorite things about the M2.

If I run down the other reasons I wanted the M2C, some of them overlap with the vette, but most of them don't: It's fast - The Corvette has this one covered and then some. It has a rear seat, i'm 5'8" and I fit very comfortably back there. I'm Asian, my people are small, it's a usable back seat in my mind. It has a manual transmission. It's small - I live in the city and frequently have to parallel park. It's playful - Of all the 400+ hp RWD cars out there, the M2C HAS to be the easiest car to briefly exceed the limits in. For a car that is mostly driven on the road, that's the kind playfulness I want - More than i'd want "perfectly balanced in a four wheel drift" type playfullness which, while SUPER cool on a track is not something i'd ever expect to experience on the street unless something has gone really wrong. It feels nice, the interior and exterior build quality feel better than i'm used to coming from cheaper Japanese cars. I think the C8 Vette is cool. But it really isn't the car I was looking for when I went out and bought my last car. I'm not saying I wouldn't own one, because I would, but it's far from the right car for me at this point in my life. |

Yeah not an apples vs apples comparison really. Heck the M3/M4 in any trim isn't on the same level as the C8 as a performance car.

Looking forward to the official times from the 'Ring. Sure sounds good though! Better than anything BMW I heard in a loooong time. Bring back V8s running full ethanol or something
