I am giving you my perspective and not making a comparison between the models.

The G80 can easily be specc'd in the mid 70s, am I right?
There's a lot of wisdom in getting into a gently loved 911 even if solely for residual value once you're done with it. Or if it has to be brand new, splitting the difference; for 15k more, a GT4 which won't lose nearly as much value in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8+ years as any turbocharged BMW product will. Yes a little more up front, but with how year 1 M-cars drop in value as soon as LCI hits, you save a ton on the back end. YMMV, just my 2c.

Good luck with the FO G8x, I'm sure it will be an animal to drive.
