So I've driven the car for ~100 miles. I had the N54 in my 335, but this is so much faster. Is the N54 in the 1M running a factory tune? Or maybe it's just the weight?
I've heard people state that the 1M is very difficult to describe - "you just have to drive it". I think that's true. It's sublime and there's something about it that defies description. It's raw and refined at the same time.
Compared to the 135is, the steering is very different. It feels lighter, but somehow better connected. In sport mode I think the 135is is faster, but it has difficulty putting the power to the ground with its open diff. The diff in the 1M makes all the "diff" in terms of usable power, and the 1M is really quick.
I'm not a driver, and won't be pushing this car, which is kind of a shame. One of these days maybe I'll make it up to "Friday at the Track" at Summit Point and get some training.
In terms of Dinan Stage 3, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for the 135 unless you pair it with an LSD.
