FYI, the Integra is never better than the M2.

At low ranks near 1100-1150, both the Integra and M2 are at the mercy of the matchmaking system.

At ranks near 1150-1200, the BMW M2 is superior to the Integra but it's at the mercy of the matchmaking system against higher-ranked Cobras.

The smartest ranks to fight at are the 1240-1260 ranks. Last season, I reached 2143 rating using a 1245 Cobra, a 1256 BMW M2, a 1500 Camaro SS, and a 1045 Porsche 959. My ED Design Torq, which I recently obtained, has been tuned to 1241. I have the Integra at a sort of low-ish tune (0105 0303) because I don't have enough Mid-Techs to upgrade it (I do, but I'm saving them for other cars). I also have the GLC Coupe tuned to 1290.

The reason why you should race at the 1240-1260 rank range is that all of the Cobras are at those ranks. Cobras feel like they're OP, but only the VERY skilled ones are OP. As suggested by my description of the Cobra on this list, the Cobra is very hard to use. I'm good at using it, to some extent, but that's because I've used it a lot.

In my experience, the only way for the ED Design Torq and Integra to defeat the Cobra is by knocking it down. Getting a good head-start is obviously a big advantage, but you will get overtaken by the Cobra around a third of the way into the race unless you knock it down at that point (and also at the beginning).

The BMW M2 at 1256 can actually frequently defeat the 1245 Cobra depending on the map. That is why I used both of them all the time. In fact, last season was the first time I started using the BMW M2 (and last season was the third time I used the Cobra). I ended up using the BMW M2 about twice as much as my Cobra, with around 200 BMW M2 races and 100 Cobra races. The Porsche 959, Camaro SS and various other cars I used totalled at around 60 races.

The only way for the Integra and ED Design Torq to defeat the BMW M2 is if the matchmaking is in the favour of the Integra.

The BMW M2 isn't on the Evoque's level; it's on the Cobra's level. The Cobra is ranked fifth on this list and the BMW M2 is ranked sixth.
