So, in essence, this is a one car comparison.

I've only ever bought manual BMW's so I get it. But isn't that like saying the M240 is the only one with AWD, so I'd never consider the M2? While true in both cases that one car has a key feature the other lacks, they're red herring arguments in this case.
This race was pretty much what we ought to expect with the M240 taking the initial lead due to AWD traction and then the M2 would reel it in later. The only thing that surprised me was the reeling in took longer than expected and the 1/4 mile was insufficient distance for the M2 to beat the M240. Sam mentioned that he couldn't invoke any wheel spin in the M2 at the start, thus could not get best start possible. Maybe there was something wrong with the M2's launch control?
