One year with the G87 M2 - 5 likes and 5 dislikes

After 1 year of ownership, I still love this M2.

I made this video to share my 5 likes/dislikes, what are your thoughts?

Nice car, but I don’t see the “bonkers” part, it seems to be a stock GT3RS with some graphics and alignment that is track optimized.

We have a couple of 992 GT3RSs in our track club, one of the members (along with another with a Cayman GT4RS) have swapped the CCBs for AP steel brakes and 1” smaller diameter wheels to be able to fit more easily available slicks, with slightly better braking performance due to a more optimized tyre (although adding $30K to the car cost).

I was surprised how much faster a stock Radical SR3 is around a track (even though it is rev limited at one point) than either a 992 GT3RS or McLaren 750S, even slick tyres on all 3 cars would leave the Radical several seconds a lap faster on any track without long straights:

I have 2025 LCI on the way along with a whole bunch of OEM+ and aftermarket parts. I was actually inspired to order an M2 and modify it based on your car. I reckon your M2 is one of the best looking out there and I really like your video updates.
Keep them coming...

😂😂 the 992.1 GT3RS is bonkers on its own.
It has a exhaust, cage and aggressive track alignment. I feel like the car does not need much aftermarket unless it’s the MR kit.

The steel brakes and smaller wheels is great for the track. But I think the stock magnesium wheels and PCCBs offer a good balance of style, street and track usability. If the car lived on the track 24/7, this would make a ton of sense 😃it would be a different experience. For us street/track focused cars, there isn’t much the car needs 😃

Getting the allocation itself is a dream 😅

That’s amazing. Congrats on the new ride. The LCI has so many more color choices 😍

I am so happy you found value in my videos 😃🙌💪
