That moved up another notch with the M4cs, that brought back some of the "rawness" of the E46 (my DCT M4cs is within a few lbs of my old 6MT E46).

Yeah, you’re one of the worst off with the G8X taken that you took full advantage of the F8X evolutionary anomalies with the CS. You are getting 2.5x average generational weight gains etc. at once. Luckily Porsche is there to save you for a minor fee...
I’m far from decided myself. I have 3-4 cars in the running, two are P-cars. And while I agree weight is getting out of hand for this segment I suspect the G8X will be just as fun and capable on street and track as the F8X. Interesting weight note, I was at the city dump yesterday. Our Cayenne weighed 4576 lbs with me in it. Not bad for a truck, maybe he G82 will be close
