Was surprised by the M2’s time but then I saw what tires were on it.

"The Dark Horse's biggest letdown is its 10-speed automatic. It doesn't take many laps before the gauge warns of rising fluid temperatures. And with the heat come gear indecisiveness and untimely downshifts. It's very likely the six-speed manual could knock a little time off. Nevertheless, the Dark Horse's 2:51.2 lap is good enough to dethrone the Mach 1 to become the new king of the LL2 segment."

The standard Dark Horse comes with 255/275 tires on 19-inch wheels. To get the 305/315 combo is another 5k. The car C&D tested is 75k. That's a lot of jack compared to the cost of a 1LE or Zl1.
