Well, you can just get a tune to get it back. Warranty is void but it would take a complete engine failure to match the price difference between the Competition and CS.

///AVM P.S. Pretty sure Chris could have had a first delivery of CS couple months back if he wanted one . . . his choice of the M2C says all anyone needs to know about what he thinks. Last edited by ///AVM; 08-16-2020 at 09:17 PM.. |

In all fairness I think it's sometimes difficult for the reviewers to get enough seat time make an overall judgement. In the environment they were in the suspension may not have behaved as it did in other environments. Fortunately we have forum members with cars in hand.
Here's a review with a bold comment referencing the CS to the megane trophy R. The trophy R time is with a factory driver, and I believe the time referenced is the older shorter track. The newer distance had it at a 7:45 and change. I also find it strange to reference 10yr old Porsches. https://www.carscoops.com/2020/08/bm...d-audi-r8-v10/ My point is that half the reviews will be nonsense. I think Achilles is honest. As is the users who have said it's great, more livable as a daily. Worth the jump from the OG, but less so from the C. It's a cool capable car that's worth it to some, but be mindful as it's not chump change so there are options abound that could better suit needs. |

https://www.caradvice.com.au/809075/...ophy-r-review/ The 7:40 at the Ring was done using S007A and not Cup2s or R tyres Just with proper R tyres like Trofeo R, Bridgestone RE-12D, Yoko 050 it is a lethal weapon on short tracks God bless it has a manual gearbox too |

Another point to consider, he recommends:
Bilstien suspension kit - $2,000-$5,000 depending on if base PSS10 or clubsport Akrapovic exhaust - ~$4,400-$4800 And the CS wheels - $3300-$4100 So you'd be in for another ~$14,000 on the high side to close the gap from his view, and still be short the window dressings.

This shouldn't be a battle between the C and CS at all. Both are great and as a IG M2 owner(a Performance Edition) I never felt any animosity towards any other M2 models. Not sure why the M2 C crowd feels so threatened.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that. Could you take something cheap and make it as light and get it to the same lap times for less. Probably. Could you make it as day and day out reliable and abusable, not a chance. The components on that thing and the bits and pieces they did to get it light and make it fast are not cheap or simple. Going as far as composite springs - whoa. CFRP'ing the fenders. the integrated mounts on the roll cage. There's a lot of attention to detail coming direct off a factory race program it appears. That's nothing to sneeze at.
