First Dinan M2 review

Pretty vanilla, but positive.

Let me be straight, I won't call this a review.

"tallies up a grand total of $28,358 on top of the price of the donor car, and that’s before installation (though it’s worth noting that about $16,000 of that is comprised of the aforementioned wheel/tire/brake package)"

lol

merely a product description. I'm waiting for C&D's instrumented testing. Dinan_Engineering , have they received a presser yet?

I don't believe anybody on this board is going to get close to 28 grand worth of stuff. Let alone 16 grand in brakes wheels and tires...

As to the "review," people drove it, that's about it.

C&D had the car ~2 weeks ago-- your guess is as good as mine as to when an article will come out of that though. Jalopnik just had it, and they always deliver some memorable quotes so I personally look forward to that review. In fact they are asking for questions that you want answered on the vehicle at http://jalopnik.com/what-do-you-want...nan-1793024146. So if there is something you wanted him to comment on go there. R&T is up next and hopefully a Motortrend video editorial is not far behind that with instrumented testing as well. The Smoking Tire one take should be coming out in the next week or so I would imagine to boot. Then theres the flurry of other reviewers that have already have had the car or will have the car (AutoBlog, LA Times, Forbes, Automobile, Wired, European Car, Roundel, etc).

In regards to the first M2 review from Digital Trends... I would have liked more driving impressions but beggars can't be choosers.
