Our Squadron's chief engineer came by my office today bragging about his new M2. It's just hit the states and he'll pick it up after Christmas.

I was happy and encouraging for him. He was very happy about his new car and I saw no reason to be a jerk about it. It's a great car, just a different car than the GT350.

The M2 is a great car - it's back to the roots of what M cars used to be.

This guy was pushing for everything the car was worth. It was anything but smooth! I have instructed students before. He just showed him what not to do. The GT350 driver was off line as well but, he seemed to be very much in control

I wonder how much faster that M2 would be with good tires on it.

Tires make a world of difference. Of course, the 350 could use better for tracking

Yes, and the GT350 would still walk away from the M2 on the straights no matter what tires were on the M2, but the two cars might be closer to equal in corners if the M2 had the PSS tires like the GT350.

We could say the same thing for the 350... put a set of Trofeos on the 350 and the M2 and same results apply.

The M2 is a good car... but for the money, I'd rather have a Focus RS. The Focus is refined and raucous in one package. The M2 is refined. Just listen to that engine... no character.

For the money id rather have the GT350:-d

To each there own id take a M2 over a RS all day. That back fire shit sounds terrible in person.

Holy crap! GT350 driving had some of the worst lines you can have and still made mincemeat out of the M2.
