My favorite thing to come out of this article is how upset the M2 forum is. It's worth a read if you go over there. Just remember to blend in with some spray tan.
Let me guess, redneck and impregnated cousin jokes lol.

I've driven an M2. It's a very nice thing. The biggest issue I have with it is the turbo lag. Weirdly enough, the M2 feels every pound of its curb weight. The 350 feels lighter than its curb weight. Which to this day still upsets me in that what if the car really was 100lbs lighter? How amazing would that be.

"American build quality," "It's a boat," etc. The M2 is an awesome car, but it is numb and, to me, lacks engagement.

Not at all. The torque dips in a very similar fashion as the Voodoo engine. Wonderful piece of engineering...when it works.
Interesting its a sentiment ive heard several times from several people. Including a post in this thread.

It's a boat...and the M2 isn't? BMW owner logic would say that car should weigh less than a Corvette. And a Corvette weighs 150lbs less. In Grand Sport form.

Amazing haha.

You just may have swayed my decision for the next addition to my stable.... :)
And it has a manual trans!
Good luck if you can land one!

Interesting... I owned 3 Audi's, trying to forget them all... Never again. Horrible handling cars for a premium price; clunky manual gearboxes (almost unusable in winter), disconnected steering, failing timing chains (my S4 and my first S, the 2002 S3). Every bloody switch in the cabin was replaced at some point after about 6 years of ownership in my S3.
I never had an issue with my M3's see how many I owned in the sig... Ok, the M5 V10 must have been the icing on the cake, best of all. But boy, did that car needed TLC...
I love my S3. Love it even more now with the Stage 1+ ECU tune and TCU tune. The tuned DSG is phenomenal. It’s my 3rd Audi, and I’ll always have one in my garage.

Im am not surprised the GT350 was #1 but I figured 90% of the GT350 performance for less money still would have placed on top.
