edmunds u-drag race (1/4 mile drag, stop and u-turn, then 1/4 mile back) interesting results. M2 did better than expected in the straight line performance. and the kia did better than i thought under braking and turning.

In the first race the M2 driver mentioned they would launch in manual mode but then put the AT into drive mode because it's faster at shifting that way. He then went on to gripe about the AT being slow. The one thing I was looking for in the video was did he place the AT into auto or sport auto because that makes a big difference. You can't see what he did in the video, and I don't think he did which would line up with his complaint about the transmission.

The BMW M2 Is a Throwback That Only Throws So Far Spiritually, the M2 has a connection to previous, old school BMWs. But mechanically, it’s very much a 21st century Bavarian. By John Pearley HuffmanUpdated: Jan 11, 2024 |

Acura won in the M2's class for price and practicality... $52k+ for a wrong wheel drive car is tough to swallow though, no matter how good the shifter is.

C&D Lightning Lap 2024 features the M2.
https://www.caranddriver.com/feature...ning-lap-2024/ Pretty good review, short though. Just seems odd no-one would mention that the M2 is on much less aggressive tires than most the cars in the test... hard to imagine a larger factor impacting lap times than street oriented tires. |

They will only run factory offered tires, which begs the question why aren't Cup2s available in the US for the M2? I believe they are offered in other markets. |

Hadn't seen this posted. Good showing by the M2 against a perennial foe.
