Motor Trend 2017 BMW M2 Update 2: Taking it to the Streets

Interesting end to the article...
"What Randy liked about the M2 was the “N55” engine’s utter lack of turbo-lag. This is especially interesting because it features a single, twin-scroll turbocharger compared the M3/M4’s “S55” twin-turbo. “The M2 puts the power down very well—much better than the M4,” he said."

I'm surprised the DCT was slower around the track than the 6MT.

Seems the heat plays a bigger factor than I would have thought.

Thank God I don't have to read the comments this time around since MotorTrend disabled them...

"Camaro....yadda yadda greatest"
"350 better value yadda yadda blah blah"
"BMWs are ugly and overpriced"
"The Corvette blah blah"
"You can buy a Honda Civic and put x amount into it"

For anyone that wants a summary of the last shit show.

Not surprised he doesn't like the DCT, his criticism is definitely valid. But the car does throttle in the heat pretty significantly in my experience.
