Both cars are amazing but obviously have distinctly different personalities.

I know it's not all that common to be cross shipping these two given the price delta, but the resale value on 911s certainly dulls the pain of the initial price.

I've driven both recently and the BMW certainly has more brute force, but the 911 just feels like an extension of my mind... Which may be why I can't get it out of my head.

Good thing I have some time to decide. Any former/current 992 owners get a G8x yet? If so, interested to get your thoughts...
I have heard the wait is about a year for a 911
"Yeah, but guys no one wants a 911 when they can have an M3/M4."

**Checks ability to secure a 911 allocation and sees ridiculously long waiting period with lists 10 deep at every dealership compared to the G8X.**

Yeah, there is a reason Porsche sells them like hot cakes and they are year over year the most reliable/successful/best value long term sports car out there.

P.S. this was not directed at you, just an attempt at sarcasm that was aimed at the people who say the above quote.
