How did you find the weight? On paper, that 3400-ish lbs make it seem like the car is really porky.

I've had the chance to do a few laps in an M4 at Mission, and supposedly, the M2 borrows a lot of parts from the M3/M4, so I'd expect the M2's behaviour to be at least somewhat similar. The M4 certainly impressed me with its power, and more importantly, I was very much surprised by how much smaller the car felt (in terms of agility) once it was in motion. But the single thing that I couldn't quite get over was the weight -- it was well-managed, but when you throw the car into a turn, you are always reminded of how heavy the car is.

The M2 isn't that much lighter than an M4, so I have some concerns.
