By your definition my M4 is definitely a poser car as I have no intention of tracking it and I do not drive it at 10/10th on mountain roads. I bought it as a GT car and that is what I consider it to be.

When I want to exercise my race car driver fantasies I drive dedicated track cars on race tracks.
When I say ZF torque converter, it is figurative. I am referring to the ZF automatic transmission.

You drive an M4 Cabriolet so obviously in a different direction compared to the Coupe owners, and I respect that.
