Saw a new GT3 in my neighborhood, well, I heard it first (sweetholymackarel!), then immediately logged on to read about it. Every review pretty much says "the base 911 is near perfect for a daily, and it's only $98,000." My ego and insecurity would go for more (marketers love buyers like me) even though our local roads make a Civic Type R #overkill, but the 911 is such a sexy car in any of its seemingly endless variants. As for the January wait, I'd consider it a short-term equity timeline with a very good return. |

I like the idea of what Tesla is doing. But I keep seeing the Model S' flying off the track, and it's put the car on the back burner, for me. I drive too aggressively, for a car to get unpredictably out of hand.

But I hate to tell you this, the LR-S will not remotely feel like the Plaid. Maybe from Zero to 30 but then things change exponentially. Interior bits are the same though and so is the wide ass body.

Thought I’d jump in here and resurrect this old thread.
First, what did the OP end up purchasing? Second, I cross shopped a new M3 manual with the new refresh Long Range Model S. I ended up going with a 2022 Model S - blue on black. No regrets. It’s a smooth, wicked cruise missile. Love the ridiculous power, size, utility, range, aesthetics (great hips!), technology…just about everything about it. And mine is well built. Oh, and it only costs about $10 to “fill up” in my garage during off-peak charging. Love it! |

We welcome you!!! Even just the long range, that’s still a 10.6 car. Sure it’s not “engaging “ like the manual m3 but really how can anyone really enjoy a manual these days unless you live by the mountains or go to the track. The model s is a better car in that regard.

I’ve traditionally driven manuals, and I have NO doubt that really any manual performance car would be more engaging. If and when I opt for a weekend car in the next few years, a G80 M3 manual will be in strong consideration (against either a C8 or a 718 Boxster S)! p.s. I’ve been a member on this site since the early 2000s! We still own (via my son in college, a 2014 manual 335i M-Sport)…and of course the new X3.

I thought about the long range but for only 20 grand more I rather have something that solidifies pure street dominance. Nothing will ever touch you on the road. Brooks from dragtimes went 9.5 in his model s plaid on 50%soc which is insane. Meanwhile if my model 3 is at 50%. It’ll probably run a 12.5 lol I still don’t mind manual however I’m not in love with it like I used to. So many amazing fast cars these days and it can only be appreciated with the advanced autos now.
