Most talking 911 are thinking toddlers who sit front facing., I sure you will find some who figured out the contortion needed for small cars and newborn seats.
My advice would be
-Keep m2 for track duty and "daddy time"
-Pass Audi to SO
-Get smaller awd sport Sedan or sport suv for daily

Thanks for your input.
After talking to my track buddies today and thinking a lot about it I feel like going G80 route would suit best my need but with some concessions.
One of the reasons to make a move sonner than later is instead of redoing my M2 suspension now and maybe do a part out in less than a year I do it now and car is ready to sell wich may also take some time, who knows.
Ive come to the conclusion that I am ready to make a few concessions to fit all my want/needs.
- G80 (fonctionnal to transport todddler if needed)
- Manual (fills my need for more street engagment/enjoyment)
- RWD (concession but better on track/weight)
- Carbon seats (less comfort but concession for track enjoyment)
My wife will be at home for a full year from July/August so the Audi will be available if there is a big storm for the next winter. There is some cost savings to be had by having only two cars also, plates, fuel, maintenance etc. If I don't like it after a year I just buy another daily and will still have the G80 as weekend/track car wich I will probably be much more tempted to take for joy ride etc. There is also some excitment of discovering the ''new'' thing.
