I might be 4 weeks late but have some mustang input. I've heard some things about the main problem in the mustang being the rear suspension unloading too quickly at times causing it to almost push the car around. It will load up during the slide because of grip (obviously) and then when it unloads it flings the car around more than you would expect instead of calmly releasing all that tension. So the less movement the rear suspension has the more stable it becomes. The unloading can happen when you lift off the throttle too, which makes saving a slide even harder. To be fair most of them are just unexperienced drivers who don't know when to lift or have never drifted a car before, but that could be a huge reason why it happens so often. That doesn't fix it handling like a boat though 😂.
Just found your latest vid, glad your still making them. Seeing as we’ve missed a lot of your recent cars how about a vid or 2 where you give us your thought on each of them? Please. I’m thinking of a current model Supra and would like your opinion. Thanks.
Is the manual gearbox a bit crap in the M2? I fitted a clutch stop and m performance knob to my M140i and it took the rubberyness away but you could never really rush it through gears especially 1st to 2nd. Good to see you back 👍🏻
I actually find its one of the best gearboxes for rushing tbh, even though it does feel a bit more rubbery than most others. But yeah I definitely feel like I can change gear faster and more confidently in this than in the GT4 or the Yaris
@ChrisDrift interesting, i wonder if it's a different box. The heavy flywheel doesn't help in the 140 and i believe it has a delay valve in the clutch line which M2 may not. Edit: just watching the end of the video and kinda answered what i just asked 🤦🏻♂️
@@ChrisDrift Doing good buddy! I remember all the old BDC days when i lived in London. Damn, great memories! Now i just want to have a garage and karry on building my old volvo 242... Time will tell. Be well!
swapped that for the Mustang last year. Good car but just got bored of it being automatic and also the electronic diff not letting you do skids half the time
@@ChrisDrift thanks for responding :) not sure if you're aware, but from MY24 the Giulia Q now has a mechanical diff, exactly due to the problem you mention (plus overheating)
haven't driven one but I had the same engine in my M4 and it sounded awful even with an akrapovic exhaust on, so that was the main reason for going for this OG N55 version
Do you have any other handling mods to the M2? - Agreed on the f'ing awful mustang, rented one in Florida for a week. A week was long enough with that heap! 😂
nope, tempted to make my own toe and camber links for the rear though cos people are charging crazy money for an ali bar with some rod ends in the end of it lol I made some drop links for the Alfa which are the same thing just a bit shorter and they cost me like £100 to make but people are selling these toe links for the M2 and M4 for £900, its wild

Glad to see you back!

How do you turn off the iDrive screen? And how do you turn it back on once turned off?
Welcome back mate 👍

Hey! That m2 really sounds badass!! Great work!
thanks, I used like 3 different microphones to try capture decent sound. Think I need one nearer the exhaust in future though

@@ChrisDrift it’s crazy. Had the same issues with mine. ‘M’ Tax.

Honestly. It’s not that quick, a stock 600cc motorbike would eat this car for breakfast
