...For your pure Motörhead who likes to abuse a car and do doughnuts everywhere ... I get you now ... Yeah im not that kind of driver. Dont like abusing my stuff at all ...or doing doughnuts ... and neither is that what i think a motorhead or enthusiast is. Prefer going fast in a straight line and fast around the bend ... which in that case an M2 and M3/M4 would be your thing. This is the reason why i cancelled my order on the M4 when they launched. Last M car i had was a 1M in 2013 (had 8 M cars so far)... the newer turbo M cars are different, and i think that is why you have those two camps now ... and the reason also why the older M cars are appreciating in value for the most part
Did not drive the M2 comp but have the M2 and a few 718s. Was in the market for a new car for the wife at the time ... 3 month wait at the time on a competition and i thought "eish" and i didnt
A 718 boxster s or cayman s will be quicker than the M2 competition on a straight line or a track. So its brutally quick ... hence why when you mentioned a 991 gts ... i was like no ways. But i get you , you not talking performance but more fun factor in terms of going sideways ... and agree then M3/M4 and M2 is the weapon of choice. We all different with varying opinions on what is "nice" ... thats why these options exist in the market place ... else everyone would be buying Hyundai i10s
edit: the M2 comp of your looks far nicer than the wifes 718 sitting in my garage ... plenty of happy and safe miles!
I get you 100% now and why it wouldn’t be for you. I’m a rear wheel drive junky and love the tail hanging out when I drive. So yes 100% that’s why I love it. If you say you’re the straight line super fast guy, I would imagine you would love the M5 actually or just R8 V10 Plus all out. Simply love the sound of the V10 in that Audi but for me I got bored, not enough playfulness and no doing late night doughnuts at Steyn City circles
Hope to teach you the ways of drifting one day bro! Many safe miles for you and your Mrs!
Ps. I’ve switched between 3x M4 Comps and a C63S as well as the Edition 1 as my drifting toy that’s how indecisive I’ve always been. So if we comparing apples with near apples I guess I would say this M2 Comp is better than my last 2 mention we can leave the Porsche out if it because it is my next one for sure I can’t resist now that I’ve gotten a bit older and I cannot resist those new screens in them.
