      The rear needs more traction for more HP. It's quite difficult to use on a track as it is (I've tried it). While it will be easy to get more HP, it isn't necessarily a good thing to have with such a low traction setup. This btw is even with the updated suspension

  • @ShogunsDojo
    @ShogunsDojo 5 років тому +6

    Another great video, and the editing was a highlight. Henry really did a good job differentiating the 3 versions of the m2 (OG, LCI, Competition) and whilst it might not be as simple as this it would seem as though with each version they have softened the suspension to make the grip less peaky and more progressive and predictable. Chris Harris has advocated the advantages that softer setups can bring without detracting from limit handling with his Alpina videos. Not that I’d ever want an M car to be as soft as an alpina mind you, but they appear to be finding that sweet spot between balance, poise, predictability and comfort.
