I also own a 6MT M2 CS. Unbelievable car. I know the first reaction of most is that it is 'just another M car' but the CS is very different out of the box compared to the Competition having driven both extensively (and the Competition is a fantastic car in its own right).
I also think you are...
Agree after watching both the Carfection and Top Gear videos I was struck by how quiet the exhauast note was vs. say, what we heard during the Harry's Garage video. Chalk it up to journalists driving slowly (half joking here)? I'm curious if that, the OPF, or both is the main issue. Any thoughts?
