Everyday Driver guys were on smoking tire podcast today. they will have a review of the M2 vs Camaro SS 1LE vs Supra (all manual). They talk a bit about it here at the 5:00 mark

Or at least least for me personally, this is the exact 3 cars I'm cross shopping at the moment while I'm stuck in limbo for an allocation on a M2... A very interesting (but unlikely) review would be comparing all 3 with their automatics, considering that the manual seems to be the unanimous let-down on the M2 for most reviews. Wonder if that would sway reviews in favor of the M2. |

I like the Everyday Driver guys. They are nerdy but I find them more honest and unbiased compared to some other youtube reviewers. These days I feel it's just lazy to continually compare today's cars to cars of the past. We all know today's cars are heavier and more computer aided and we shouldn't need to be reminded everytime we watch a new car review. Just tell us if the car is fun and if the performance is up to today's expectations. I don't need to be told it lacks the "xxx" of the E46 as that car is not in production, nor is it relevant to what viewers tuned in to hear. We all know a modern car is going to drive and feel totally different to one that was manufactured 20 years ago so stop trying to remind us every time a new M car is launched.

Drag race with the same 3 cars with MT. Gotta love that B58!

either the 6 MT M2 really has terrible gearing or the power to weigh ratio is not good... i wish they gave trap speeds here

The big problem with this test is it really is just a measure of off the line traction. With using a runway the middle position always has more deposited rubber and less debris (such as dust, rubber marbles and small stones) than the outer positions due to aircraft usage unless the surface has been hot-air blasted and scrubbed very recently (which is rare for anything other than major airports).
A re-run of the test swapping car positions across left, centre and right would at least give a bit more of a valid comparison. |

Why no video from inside the M2?
Sam Car Legion is the same guy who did a whole comparison review claiming the M340i is faster than the G80 Comp, then quietly deleted it when it was pointed out that he ran the M3 in low fuel mode (limited to 4000RPM). Not sure how Sam measured the M2 doing 0-60 faster than the Supra in that test. M2 gets to 60mph first, when it was clearly struggling for traction, then loses the lead at speed, when traction is no longer an issue? I have no doubt that the G87 6MT is faster than the Supra 6MT, but that guy has no credibility. |

We used to use the 3,000ft runway at Fort Macleod for autocross which had very little aircraft traffic, but had to pay to have it swept each year and manually spent an hour with 50 people and brooms sweeping any accumulated debris before events. If not, The traction was terrible, especially away from the centreline. For measuring comparable acceleration, an unprepared surface is no substitute for a proper drag strip. |

So many of the replies here are embarrassing.
Guys, some people don’t like the M2 and that’s fine. It doesn’t make them “biased” or “idiots” and it’s so sweaty to cherry pick the positive reviews and retroactively declare those writers as the “objective” ones. Why even read reviews if you’re only looking to have your opinions validated? Not everyone is going to love our car. Hell, it might even be true that our car is not the best car around. As long as we like it, that’s all that matters. No need to attack the credibility of anyone that doesn’t share our opinion. |
