MotorWeek takes the M2 around Dominion Raceway

babym_gen · 06-17-2023, 12:05 AM

I love watching the new M2 perform around track.
The corner at 2:57 has claimed so many cars. As you drive uphill, the suspension unload right when you need traction to complete the S turn.
But the M2 takes it comfortably at over 95 mph. Quite impressive for a stock car.

Kudos to you for being able to watch it! I had to hang up our friend 5 seconds in, as I fell on the floor… did you not get motion sickness?

I don't (ex-Navy), but for those that do, FWIW shrinking the picture often lessens the effect.

It sure feels like the camera is mounted on his eye balls.

This kind of video usually bothers me. Watched it on my phone and had no issues.

Everyone’s coming around, accepting it’s not a Lotus. Can’t GT or carry clubs for 2 in a Lotus. It’s either this or a 718 for me. I dig it the most.

Obvious thing is obvious, right? Also, unlike a Lotus, M2s actually ship.

Same, had a boat on the ocean for 10 years on the West Coast. Sea Legs. I love to watch these.
