10 out of 10 times, would pick a g87 over a civic.

This WRX with tiny wheels and stickers all over lowered his window and stuck his head out to wave at me wanting to race on a regular highway.
I didn't comply with so many reasons.
Just why? I keep my races and speed needs on the track.

I never considered the those two cars being in the same class. Pricing wise for the civic with ADM put them in the ballpark.
But they are two different things.
I think the G87 M2 is funny this way. There are people who compare the Type R with the M2, but also people who compare the Cayman with the M2.
I haven't quite seen many videos comparing the Type R with the Cayman. Why? Probably because they are totally in different class and different car.
The M2 is quite unique in the way that it bridges the luxury daily aspect with its track capability. So it is a little heavier so it can do both but I don't mind that trade off.

I feel you! So many of those stories, and it's always Challengers or these Japanese sports cars 🤦. I personally know many M2 and 911 owners who drive fast and, yes, sometimes a bit aggressively compared to average drivers out there. However, none of them would ever challenge someone on the roads or make dangerous cuts.

100% agree with this take. It's nice to own a car that is the best of both worlds. It gets its respect with the younger crowd and respect with the older crowd.

I wish I knew how to insert a Rodney Dangerfield no respect gif right here.

Does the CTR come with a logo on the rear caliper?!?

I think it has “間違った車輪駆動” embossed in the calipers.

speaking of young crowd, this M2 is the first car where I get a huge amount of thumbs ups from kids around town, and I mean 7-12 year olds.
