I guess he didn't go faster enough, because he didn't die at the track.

^^exactly!
THIS IS WHAT I WANT Hoping that a reviewer/new owner gets on and says the g87 does this as often as you want and sometimes when you don't want if i get a set of 963's and throw on some hard compound slippery tires... will anyone but me know it?

My OG F87 has the same issues, axle hops some times on track curbs or on bumpy sections of high speed mountain road curves, and then stupid traction control cuts power .... always at the worst time.

By all accounts, the G87 fixes this.

Great driving Ding! Loved seeing the car on the track!

There's a reason we don't just have the one brand of cars.
There's a reason apartment buildings and homes are built different.
There's a reason we don't just all shop at the same place.

Preferences and choices.

There's a reason the same 65 inch TV from Samsung/Sony/LG isn't the same 65 inch TV from 5 years ago.

Technology develops and gets better.

Combine the two above and you should expect change. That's exactly what we have with the M2. Some will like it, and some won't.

If you like something, buy it. If you don't, feel free not to. Opinions are just that. Opinions. I don't understand people getting their knickers in a twist because of a car.

I personally love the car and can't wait to take delivery in a couple of months.

Good analogy. Maybe some still loves watching the CRT TV.

I was thinking of "oinker" the other morning, but once I fully woke up realized I'd get pulled over extra.

I like #th4gc but I don't think I'd want to inadvertently advertise for them.

First two laps he was held back by the drivers in front of him but on the third lap he was finally able to pass them and that's when he got his fastest lap. He can easily get a better time on the stock setup. Now imagine what this car will do once modded.

Imagine being in a caged S2k and FD being hounded by a stock luxury sedan on MPS4S street tires!? Yes, the M2 has them on power and torque, but the engineering to make a 3800 lb car handle like this is extraordinary!

CRT TVs are better for old school game consoles.

How did the MPS4S BMW* hold up after one track day and no camber? Mine only lasted 3 track days with factory camber on the M4.

I don’t have any pictures on hand right now but the PS4s star spec actually look to be in great shape. There are several tire-punishing right handers at Autobahn but surprisingly the tires, especially left front, didn’t display any crazy edge wear at all. You hear them screaming for their lives but we kept them around 37-38 psi hot and they looked perfectly fine for more track use. Could get another 2-3 days out of it easily I should think, maybe more.

But long term, camber would be a good mod to do so it’s on the horizon for sure!
