but if the M2C has one of those classic naturally aspirated Bmw sixes with 350HP ish, I would pick the M2C over the GTS 4.0 as the more fun road car.

Porsche NA/manuals are some of the best cars period - just a razor edge of responsiveness and engagement.
The goofy torque monster M2 is a lot of fun too - not to say it isn’t a serious car. The M2c has real capability, but the personality of the car is totally different than Porsche, which is as serious as a heart attack.
I’m happy having both - it’s nice to go back and forth because the approach to driving is so different. That said, if I was forced to choose between the two - it’s NA/manual all day long.
