I think money per money unit of any kind the 86 is probably the purest, useful not a total compromise sportscar on the planet. Even has a glove-box lol :) Its a good value and good driving machine!
Interesting assessment of the 'weight' obsession with the new M2. Personally think this gent is rather accurate. I was 95% on my way to a 4C in 2016 and parking it for winter stopped me. Had a 2 hour test and was very impressed. His take on this is good being one who has actually had a small...
Every review / magazine/ etc etc etc. The M2 has the M4 brakes/motor/diff etc. Good luck not finding it lol

In fact, rather than trying to explain what else the M2 shares with its bigger brother, it’s easier...
Get a test. The focus on looks is a bit overdone. There are plenty who do not like the looks of the Supra. Happens to all cars. Test the M2 and tell us what you think. My M2 is due is on schedule for production on or around 20 April. Red like this but red roof/bicolor(silver) wheels. Good luck...

Lots of politicians, police and others need to not have access to children lol. At least this guy went racing. Total kudo's lol. :) :) :)

--As a quick aside, as a long time N55 owner, down-low grunt isn't a panacea either.
You are gonna need to manage RPMs either way, you have a sweet spot either way. In a low grunt engine like the N55...
I think if 1 needed a single car and thats all you could have........thats the most car for a practical life, space, economy etc. Its an excellent choice and tool for living. Total respect!
Stop with such logic bro! :) I watched YouTube total expert last night, and had 8 Monster Recovery drinks. You dont need to break it in. They like seriously do that at the factory the day its built. Just rev and dump that clutch. That breaks in the valves the exhaust and the drive belt. You are...
Why does Toyota, taking a modified BMW gearbox and associated clutch owe you a tune level clutch above stock power lol? They owe you a working clutch that is designed to handle the power assigned to the specification.
To be clear from a makers point of view - Anything you add power - wise is...
I have a Z4 loaner/rental as I wait for the M2 to be built/delivered. Im impressed overall. Its just the 4cyl model but is more than adequate for fun. Has amazing grip and its spring in Germany so the top down motoring is really fun!
The new regulations for 2026 will be another opportunity to have true chance at a reset. Until this its RedBull all day every day this year and probably next unless Ferrari and or Mercedes CHOOSE to not front load development into the 2026 car with the new Power Unit(PU).
I can see RedBull...
The world and industry changed to go from horses to cars and this will happen for ICE to electric. Changes will be made and we will adapt as drivers and exploit what is offered to have fun. The last thing Im worried about is all this E transport change. The world does not stay static and thats a...
TUV keeps garbage off the street more than most inspections. I dont need people who drive poorly maintained machines ruining mine. No system anywhere is perfect but TUV is good.
They added the M3/4 motor to the M2C and they upset the chassis/braking in my opinion and that was known. I tested the M2C for a multi day test and I did not want to sell the 17 M2 for it. One it did not feel much faster, had softness to it and lacked the feel and fun of the 17 M2. I think we...
