Ha! Probably best to reference this 8 page thread where I posted all my UOAs when my old R was on the bigger turbo and E85 —->

As for your second question I should preface this by saying these are 2nd fun cars. 85-90% of driving time is canyon carving and backroads during the nicer weather months here in CO. While I loved my old R and it was blazingly fast (especially in straight line) I got a bit bored. It was just too easy and it was a DSG tranny. I drove it in “manual” mode 99% of the time but it’s obviously not the same as a true manual. I also missed RWD. I always wanted a f87 m2 comp but wasn’t willing to pay the insane covid pricing for a few years so I held on to my R longer than I thought I would. Well finally in early 2023 I made my move..sold the R and picked up a 19k miles manual 2020. The R would destroy my m2 in a straight line and is the more practical choice but to me the m2 is better everywhere else. In typical fashion for me it hasn’t remained stock but I’m not going as nuts as I did on my R. It has a mild tune, short shift kit, camber plates, midpipe & exhaust. The only thing additional I’m adding is some mcs coilovers at some point. Until my kids are out of the house and college is paid for this car is a keeper. Nothing out there interests me at the price point. The level up for me from here (like for so many) is probably going to be a 991.2 GT3…manual of course. Until then this little beast will keep me more than happy!
