Everyone seems so smug, but there is absolutely no progress compared to an M3 or M4. Not faster, not lighter. If so then what’s the point?

Those internet race jockeys comparing its time with the F87 M2CS will always have a hard time understanding the importance of tires. Each new generation of tire is 5 - 10 seconds faster than the previous one. Put them on the same tires and the difference evaporates.
its 15 k cheaper tho... 20 less hp... doesnt an m2 also wear narrower tires than an m4? Longer chassis will always fare better on a track w longer straights and turns... i would argue the m2 is a value even if the m4 is a better car... its a major upgrade to the prior gen m2 comp I had which was nearly impossible to drive fast due to how unstable it was
