Mad it's faster? Heck no. I'm embarrassed and surprised it's not faster than it is. Like I said, the diesel Audi was dominating LeMans. Didn't make me want a diesel "performance" car either.

I WANTED to want the new M3/M4.
We are completely on the same page. I've found my F8X kindred spirit.

However.... Since the new M3 has 4 doors (great as I have 2 new-ish little boys) and is, at least in a straight line, every bit as fast as a 991 C2S, one too may be in my future. There are just many more options to consider competitively today.
