No surprise the M2 is faster. Back when I had my E30 M3 it was able to be modified to keep up with E36 M3 , but once the mods get equal and were added to the E36M3 the advantages are clear again.
SCCA Is generally brutal for BMWs so it's been awesome to see you guys dedicate time and resources to really making it competitive , much like Chris Conant did with the E30 M3.
While I am really enjoying the 1M, the idea of racing an appreciating asset when you can simply jump to an OG M2 for cheap or even go to an M2C for even money or less shouldn't be ignored.
The OG M2 is a good bargain but from the comments from guys I have spoken to like ilovebmws and 1M Tex that have owned all three cars... the M2 competition has the best potential as a track machine ( while the 1M still remains the favorite overall.
The development of chassis tuning on all of the F8X has been critical. The M4 GTS only scratched the surface of its potential and the ZCP, CS and models have further sharpened the steering, grip and handling. I'm planning on taking advantage of the most fully developed iteration possible and hoping to pick up another legend aka the E30 M3 SPORT EVO, E46 M3 CSL.

We ran the M2 and 1M back to back with the RE71's on both. We ran the 1M several passes to set the time and then ran 2 passes with the M2 and we were .7 faster on the 50 second course. You could just tell that the 50% prepped M2 was faster.
My 1M is still a trophy car for a B/B+ at Nationals but for the top 5 spots where the A/A+ drivers are we can't be that far down on car at the line.
At the Texas Pro this weekend we were 1 and 2 in the rain where you have to have setup and 2nd and 7th in the dry.
The new M2 competition package runs in A Street which is a class above us in B Street. We are looking for a M2 and have one we are working a deal on. The M2 has no resale as we are finding 60k cars that are now 40k and been on lots for 20 0 to 300 days.
I'm going to put my car up on bring a trailer while its still a winner. I figure someone that cannot build/sort a car will want it. Jeremy can put the car top 3-5 and a B/B+ driver can finish in the last trophy spots 10-13.
If anyone wants it DM me.
