Having owned 991s and 3 M3s, these cars are just so different, and comparing them really just doesn't make sense except to generate content on a slow day. The quality and driving of the 911 is just on another level than the M3 (and even the M8.) The m3 is easier to push to the limits than the 911. If you want to push the 911 to the edge, you need to be a good driver with experience. Porsche is a superior brand and that's okay. Different price points for a reason. Either car you end up with, you will have a smile on your face.
