Trying to hustle a 3,800 lb car around a track like LRP was not likely to produce an adjective like “fun” from auto journalists. I love LRP and have raced there many times but it’s a very short, tight track, and would not have played to this car’s biggest strength:being an enormously competent and quick everyday driver with a MT. So, I think the review kinda misses the point. And I think most track day drivers will find their G80/83s to be enormously fun, so long as they don’t expect it to turn laps like a Cayman GTS. In my book the F80 was better looking but since I can’t lease a new one, a G80 M3 is compelling, even with the less attractive packaging.
