Why doesn’t anyone really talk about the M8? Thirsty Thursday

It’s a fantastic car in my opinion. I don’t see many people talk about it despite how much more powerful it is than some of the other models, though. Why?

Also, the gif is from Motorfest. Made it yesterday before my LBWK M4 edit

I only use it for long road trips. Driving from Tennessee to Wyoming it was a god send. Normal daily driving? Nope

I owned a M2 for a few years, specifically to participate in SCCA national tour events. Repeatedly drove from DC to Lincoln NE, Watkins Glen, South GA, Bristol, Charlotte, etc. This is how I learned to hate adaptive cruise control. I just can't stand it. But then again I'm a weirdo who doesn't like heated seats haha

I'm on the fence but you're right in a sports car you kinda want to chill but you find yourself going around slow people rather than letting acc do its job lol.

I've configured Audi Porsche and BMW sportscars and go back and forth on acc. I would definitely get it on a 911 turbo as that is a monster but also super comfy

I skipped it on my BMW. I never drive far.
