Abstract
- The dual-clutch Porsche would win the theoretical drag race because of its incredible launch control and lower weight, followed by the dual-clutch BMW and then the manual versions of both cars immediately behind, tied for third. Although he praised the BMW and the Porsche for the effectiveness of their optional carbon-ceramic brakes, he reported both ABS systems struggled with bumpy braking zones. The BMW M2 CS and Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 are the last two competitors for which that is true, and not for long, as the sun sets on this generation of 2 Series and its dual-clutch. Interestingly, the BMWs struggled more than the Porsches on cold tires, while the Porsches lost their composure more on overheated tires. [Extracted from the article]
