There’s simply no reason to downshift, left alone upshift without reaching outlandish speeds. He argues this takes the entrainment factor out of the manual transmission, and that the 8ZF makes it more fun if you want to bang through gears.

It sounds like the M2 will suffer the same problem.
I daily drove a manual Miata for 7 years. I’m so over driving a slow car. Watching jack from geese tune his 86, looks like a nightmare.
