But I did not pull the trigger.

Why?

1. Economics, just wasnt enough wow/$.
2. Back seat is totally useless behind people in the front. Literally no way to have a passenger behind me. Deal breaker for me with two kids
3. Too heavy for the track- I track my G82 2x a month
4. My G82 thats tuned will smoke an m8 now and destroy it on track

But it still is a sexy machine…
I agree on the price. It was stupid at 150-160k. Obviously not cheap at 130, but at least a little more reasonable in comparison. I hardly have people in my passenger seat, let alone the rear. Single no kids. The only thing that usually sits back there is my work bag which should fit. And it'll never see the track. I still love my G82 but that sexy machine part is what's getting to me about the M8.
