Great brakes and handling, lovely steering and full-throttle onto a freeway on-ramp feels like Wyle E. Coyote strapped to an ACME rocket - LITE THAT FUSE BABY!
Seriously. Drive one. They're all that and can haul a bunch of groceries. Frankly, they are much quicker in stock form than a 69-89 911 at least for street driving (I've never driven one on the track).

I haven't driven a very high performance modern car in ages. Thing is I don't want to waste some salesman's time or get him excited. And I would want to drive one like I do my car, with a little care of course. So it's not likely I'll have the chance soon. I was simply blown away at how this car went around the on ramp. Yes, my tires were cold, and he had steamrollers in the back, certainly bigger than stock, but I was just sliding through the ramp watching him go. It was exhilarating and stunning. Now, on the highway and getting off a long long sweeper, I could keep up with him, but my car is completely gutted, can't weigh more the 2100 lbs, if that, and I have maybe up to 240hp according to Steve Wong.
It was just so fun, I can't wait to get back to the track this spring.

I've only tracked mine a couple of times, but the M Coupe is much more in its element on the track than the road, where its suspension isn't as supple and forgiving as the rival Cayman S on bad surfaces. It's my favorite car of all I've owned (only the 2nd car I've ever bought new off the showroom floor), and my plan is to drive it until I need a walker, as one won't fit in the hatch.  |
Good plan. Is there any comparison at all between your Coupe and SC? I'm guessing there really isn't.
