Great to meet you and chat for a minute at SLB; thanks for putting so much effort into documenting all this. Video is such a PITA, but it's been really fun and satisfying to follow along with the development and progression; change a variable, make a guess, test - the scientific method lives!

Thanks for the support! It’s a lot of work to put videos like this together but I love it

[@DaNcEnMuZe]

Too many highlights to count during the event, but Kyle's Megastar Interview, Buccee's Party Time, and the insane battles to lapping a 2:16. Twas was a wild weekend

[@eugenesarbaev8272]

Nice meeting you Jackie, really impressed with the M2!!!

[@Corvetteran88]

So glad to see some racing videos again. Definitely motivates me to go racing this year. Not that I need more motivation, just excited!

[@jakub_maluch]

Now imagine if they get the M-Traction Control working again... This car will be unstoppable

[@JackieDing86]

It would be great, if not I think we can add more rear traction to the car, and also work on a potential boost-by-gear or torque-demand-by-gear to improve 3rd gear traction.

[@CubanRider]

That last lap was very clean, great driving man. I really enjoyed watching this as COTA is my home track; you're hitting the same top speed as I do on a naked sport bike, the car is a rocketship!

[@Thewinnerscircle_]

It was a great weekend competing in limited class with yall. Very stressful knowing you could be on the outside looking in at any given moment. 3700lbs is a PIG and a 2:16.1 incredibly impressive considering everything.

[@shaddy.z]

Was cheering you on while the stream was going on haha. Boost-by-gear will be huge also if you don't already have that going! I absolutely love it on my F80, but the F80 has a huge torque spike that hits on turn out. Smoothing that out made a big difference for my driving style. Not sure if the G87 has the same problem, but it's probably exaggerated with the addition whp. Great content as always!

[@KennyMcCray]

Yoooo! Great time watching this, love watching you rotate the car even when you are struggling for grip. Can’t wait to see where you take this with more aero! LFG!!!

[@TheBreakfastClb]

[@peterc.4638]

Wow, fantastic job, man! It's a shame about the last lap; otherwise, you would have made it to 15s. Nonetheless, what progress! Cost-performance-wise, such a competitive machine. Of course, your skill to tame this beast-lol. Hopefully, you already have something prepared to increase the rear-end traction. A bigger wing would be nice. I guess power can be easily tuned up? Thank you for the video; it's really interesting to watch your videos! With all these interesting projects, keep it up, Jackie. Way to go!

[@abhirajkanwar5436]

wild that someone rocked up in a sf90. that aside, m2 looks amazing in motion.

[@flsupraguy]

I wonder if they made an awd version of this car if it would help with traction in the slower corners. I guess you could always get a m3 drive and do similiar mods and see how it does but you would probably be adding 200 pounds or more....

[@JackieDing86]

*Supposedly* an M2 xDrive is coming. But like you said, 200 lbs more. I think we can improve traction if we mess with the car more, it’s not quite at a setup sweet spot yet.

[@bigmikes2140]

Are there other gear ratios available for the m2 differential? Not the first time that you would benefit from a higher final drive ratio.

[@JackieDing86]

Higher final drive isn’t necessarily better. 7th is much longer than 6th that forcing the car into 7th on the long straight would just hurt top speed more

[@lopp5391]

Hey Jackie, If you could choose between the M2 or 992 911 (T/S/GTS) which would you choose? And a little bit on why? Cross shopping and hoping for some track related feedback, thanks!

[@JackieDing86]

I don’t think that’s really in the same price range? I think M2 is significantly cheaper, but dynamically I think Porsche is more fun. I haven’t driven a 992 tho, so I don’t have a lot of feedback on that front sorry!

[@lopp5391]

No problem at all! Yeah, it's a completely different price range. I had experienced the 992 CS at the Atl PEC. Was really surprised how similar it performed to my modified Supra out the box. Lots of fun to drive, but I see the great value in the G87 M2. hopefully I find some track time soon with a M2 too. Thanks again for the feedback.

[@AlanAtSPL]

Jackie! Loved seeing you guys do well with the M2. See y'all next year? ... we were hoping to be the car to catch, but caught a bunch of brake troubles instead. Such is racing.

[@cgrschannel7256]

I know the crs is a great tyre. But wonder if the re71rs would give you just a touch more 🤷‍♂️

[@CrazyYorkX]

just curious about the treadwear rule, is the 200tw lowest number that is allowed? If so, is it possible to run 320 or even all season 560 for fun🤣or does it violate some rules?

[@JackieDing86]

You’re correct, you can run any tires with higher treadwear rating if you so desire

[@MrKrampyHands]

Your M2 is sick irregardless of what anyone else bought a G87 M2 is my current dream daily one that's tuned a bit bigger single turbo suspension and wheels and tires mold body kit from studie AG and is be in there no wing though just a carbon spoiler for me the ne M2 is so sexy and a S58 is the second coming of the 2J its a flat out beast its incredibly over engineered and that's why Toyota chose to put it in the Supra its a beast

[@kiseki6121]

how do u think about the F87cs vs g87 on track

[@JackieDing86]

Haven’t driven an F87CS so I don’t know, sounds like it might be sharper than the standard G87

[@garagecedric]

Time to give the Cup2Rs a try? Should be a bunch o time to gain there, though ive seen them burn out very fast on quick and heavy cars.

[@JackieDing86]

Yea Cup2R’s are a one shot tire, and honestly we don’t have the budget to make a tire like that work. We have some new development incoming in that department so stay tuned :)

Version 2.0 is so impression...when M2 version 3.0 arrives...

[@deyeatdapoopoo7582]

I still don't really understand why you chose to go from the Supra to the M2. At best it feels like the platform is a sidegrade. Wouldn't it have made more sense to go with something like a Corvette C8 instead since it's mid-engined, can be had with a widebody and most of the weight is over the driven wheels giving it better traction? Fundamentally I would think it's a much better platform to build a race or time attack car from unless for some reason you're married to BMW's B58/S58 powertrains.

[@deyeatdapoopoo7582]

I'm just saying it feels like you were already struggling a lot with traction and oversteer with the Supra especially when the engine was turned up and because they're very similar platforms those are big struggles still. I think going to a front mid-engine or mid-engine platform would've been a better move to address those if you were going with a new build. Then again I'm not a race car driver and just looking from the outside in so I could be completely wrong.

[@MarkGottschoRacing]

Your seat moves a concerning amount. Is it on sliders?

[@b.s.6980]

How much faster comparing m2 to the Supra in terms of seconds?

[@bannerle3768]

You need to be tighter in turn 6,7 and prepare better for t 8 an 9! There you miss 0.5 sec.

[@rolandotillit2867]

With underbody aero you'll crush the Supra.

[@sepg5084]

Once this car gets better aero and weight reduction, oh man 👌

[@cstew1349]

It's like the car was made to run aero and fat wheels & tires. I'm not a fan of the stock look, but this looks great.
