Brilliant 😆

Mark 1M · 11-21-2016, 01:17 PM

Good Video

GimmeanM · 11-21-2016, 01:46 PM

Loved it! And love that he bought one and is using it in the test!!

Iceman21 · 11-21-2016, 03:59 PM

Just watched it. Great vid

Redadair · 11-21-2016, 06:55 PM

It's a good one

Karmic Man · 11-21-2016, 07:51 PM

So good to have Chris to review the two to settle some of the controversy around their handling and speed.

Awesome vid!

Thanks!

Chris is much more qualified to test drive the M2 than that NASCAR clown on "The Grand Tour."

Stoney80 · 11-22-2016, 12:35 AM

Nice to have Chris back up what I've been telling my wife ever since I bought my car. (And I like the fact that he bought black too!)

1'M Blue · 11-22-2016, 12:54 AM

Great video indeed. very insightful !

Strike 3 for the M2 significantly influencing the 1M market price. In no small part due to his reference to its superior streering.

Just to get his 100% complete comparison, I hope he'll make public what flash he's treated his 1M to!?

He said Litchfield UK performed a remap.

goodboy1451 · 11-22-2016, 07:15 AM

Stage 1 remap, with the akropovic exhaust my guess is about 380bhp.

DarthColin · 11-22-2016, 08:31 AM

It's unbelievably awesome that car journalists are still talking about the 1M, five years later. I'm so happy with mine. It makes me sad though that I don't live near a track. My near term mid-life crisis plan is to get a truck and trailer, and make a pilgrimage to the west coast USA tracks. And to get the full Akrapovik system. Lol.

hot-j · 11-22-2016, 11:00 AM

Great video. Its nice to have your own feelings confirmed by someone with the car cred of CH. I am a DIE HARD Porsche guy, and no Porsche has ever made me feel the way the 1M does. Hey CH, come drive mine and do a video! The way I have it set up, it would shame an Dinan S3R!

DSCPLN · 11-22-2016, 11:56 AM

what track is that? stunning backdrop

goodboy1451 · 11-22-2016, 12:42 PM

Anglesey in North Wales.

I looked at their website and it pretty much looks like an OTS Cobb product?
