My view is the M2 has to come in at the same price range as the 1M to be successful. That means it will be a lot like the 1M, mostly parts box.

There's a difference between road holding and handling. Road holding will get you good lap times, even if the car handles poorly. Of course, you have to have competent handling to turn a good lap time.
I drove a 2014 Mustang GT just prior to making the decision to go with the M3. The way the two cars handle couldn't be more different. The GT goes fast, but it feels completely different. The steering feels much slower, and the car moves around a lot more, and the E92 M3 isn't exactly top of the heap when it comes to body control.
I'll be driving a 2015 Mustang GT, for sure, but I'm not ready to hand over my cash based on lap times alone. I have to like the way the car drives.
