Are you loving your 22? i have a 20, and loveee it

interesting thread.
i'm thinking about selling my M2C for a 2SS 1LE.

[khcoaching]

I have experience with both, having owned an F22 (street and track) as well as the SS 1LE and having coached drivers in M2s and M3s -

F22 Street - Excellent car and a joy to drive. Quite a lot of room and acts like a mini station wagon. No complaints as a street car.

F22 Track - Very limit, very quickly. Fun, kinda, but only for a short time. Mine had M brakes and camber, but was limited in a short amount of time

M2/M3 Track - Huge power, but expensive to modify. Stock for stock the SS 1LE blows away the M2/M3. (blows away as in easier to drive and laps seconds quicker from my experience. (I really wanted a M2c, but after seeing how much they cost and cost to modify, no comparison)

I have some fun data graphs comparing the SS to the M3c that I can share if people want.

That tells us you're too insecure to own a BMW.

Yep, the Camaro is the much better bang-for-the-buck car. The M240i is comparable in terms of price, but the standard features and performance fall short of the 2SS. The M2C is comparable in terms of performance and features, but MSRP is close to $60K.

If you can live with the Camaro ergonomics, it's going to be a lot more fun than the M240i. The M240i doesn't even have a limited slip diff.

The M240i will be AWD.

Oops my bad. Didn't realize they were dropping the RWD version. That makes the M240i even less fun. Unless you live in the snow belt.

The new M240i is currently AWD, but there is a RWD version coming down the pipeline.

I love it!!!! Prior to this, I had a 2020 X4M Comp. The changes they have made on the 22 are substantial. The Low end torque has been greatly improved, along with suspension. I am floored everytime I get in this thing. It sounds ridiculous to say, but it legitimately feels like a big go cart. The acceleration is ridiculous for any car, let alone a 4400 lb SUV. I have owned more 800-1000 hp Viper/Vette/Hellcat builds than I can count, so I am addicted to American Torque, but these Comp cars are absolutely ridiculous and grossly underrated from the factory!

All that said, I LOVE my rental car interior LT1. Now if I can find a competent shop that will return my call and actually build it, I would be set!!!!!!!!!

Yes, will be interesting to see if this cuts the weight a bit, perhaps gets it down to match the Camaro SS. On balance, I'm leaning towards 1SS with MRC again, pending successful rental shakedown cruise.

We sure do have a real first world problem here, arguing about which hot 50 thousand dollar car best suits our whims and desires.

I dig it.

I'd be interested in seeing this, for fun.

That post begs for data.
