The 992 is much more precise and has higher Limits. It's also much less tail happy. The m3 sounds better stock and also has a better motor IMO. That being said, the m3 is not special enough to be a weekend car and one would be better suited in a 911 for that. For its intended purpose, the m3 is outstanding and far better than the f80 zcp I had in 2018.

^^ this. Reason to have multiple cars, for those with understanding partners or just dgaf.

For me, the M3 just ticks every box I have. I have 2 car seats in it, I use it every day for drop offs, grocery runs etc., it has 3 pedals, and am lining up a track day for it shortly. What the hell other car can do that?

Any manual transmission sedan.

I used to be of the same mindset and until I drove a 911 I "got it".

Go read Rich dad poor dad and fix your mindset!
Then buy a 911 like this guy did.

Considering the 911 does not have to compromise for everyday practicality it should be dynamically superior to an M3/M4. I think it is great to use as a bar for what BMW can do with the M twins considering the functional requirements of the platform. I never understand the comparisons where one looks at a missing feature or dynamic "failure" of the M3/M4 and says "welp now i am switching to porsche" as if the two vehicles are interchangeable
for me a true daily driver has to be useable everyday of the week, with the 911 you can never
-take yourself and friend to the golf course along with both bags of clubs, really you cant even take yourself unless you are clown and put the clubs in the cabin on the passenger seat (would this count for HOV status?)
-self and partner for week away, at least not the way my wife packs
-self, partner, +1 child for anything but an in town trip (if you disagree tell me where the stroller goes lol)
The 911 however does
-dominate back roads
-dominate swagger in bumper to bumper traffic on the way to the office

Great post. I agree with the part “I never understand”

If you only had a M3, you could rm the R and M then concat your GTR and M3 into a GT3.
I'm sure there's a script out there that can do this...
