I got 2 seconds into the video and then stopped watching. "Hi there" was spoken in a clown tone by the quintessential ass clown himself. Can't deal with his demeanor.

I wonder how much publicity revenue MT lost after letting a BMW win over a Chevrolet. After all BMW are simply overpriced junk according to MT.

I posted this on the other thread but it looks like the M2 had really worn tires. On Ignition it did 1:22 while for H2H it was only able to do 1:24.

They mentioned that the track was damp. I'm guessing that was the 2 second delta.

It was the wrong Camaro... they used a model (V6) that costs less than $10,000 than M2...

Not their best video...they said the V8 kicks the M2's ass though and I was surprised to hear that the V-6 sounds actually better than the M2...

Not maybe, definitely. Just go to the lap time section, and litsen to the earbuds individually. They are seperated left and right with the respective cars.

Do you have an M2 yet? Catless on the stock exhaust makes all the right fun sounds. It's completely subjective though. The Camaro sounds really good though! A proper V6 sounds almost exotic.

+1.

I wish they compared the 2017 Camaro SS 1LE against the M2. They are more similar in price.

I have ordered an M2 but I have to admit I'm wavering on giving the Camaro SS a good hard look. Equal or better performance, at least as refined, more luxury, looks at least as good and is still $10K less fully loaded Camaro than the M2. Don't get me wrong, I'm a BMW guy and I love the M2 but that Camaro pretty much has stepped up its game.
