My "car group" of friends are dominated by 911's - four GT3RS's and the like. As beautiful as those cars are, the M3 was always my halo car. To me, the M3/911 comparisons are futile - they are completely different cars/designs. A completely different driving experience. To me, the F80 is so versatile. I can go to the track one day and take the family (if my kids weren't grown) on vacation the next. It's an incredibly practical performance car that provides me with all the fun I could ask for. The 911 is a fantastic piece of machinery but for what the F80 represents for me (price/practicality/value), it's hard to beat.

Granted, they are both very different vehicles for different purposes and with different price points. But look at the M4GTS. still couldn't beat a 991 GTS around the track despite similar price points and the M4GTS being completely track purpose built. Ideally, one would have a 991/992 for joy rides and an F80 or F90 as a daily. They each dominate their respective segments.

There is a massive delta on how power is made between a GT3 and a turbo engine. The GT3 is stupid fast (991.2 runs something like 11.0@127) and still doesn’t have that much HP rated at 500. Aside from that, it is IMO the most exhilarating engine on the market today without a doubt. The way it pulls above 5k and then 7,8,9k rpm is something I don’t think is matched in many road cars. Certainly. Not anything below 500k. I agree though, the 991.2 is about as close to perfection as you get. I love mine! |

I don't understand where this fits into the argument? Are you saying that because it's "limited" it gets a pass for being a "track edition special" even though it's not even as good of a track car as the non "limited", non "track edition special" p cars?

A 991.2 Speedster for example, is limited to 1948 units worldwide at 275k base price. You would be missing the point if you are trying to compare performance specs vs a cheaper droptop. It's a limited run of a version of a special car, that's it. I mean, would you compare it to a McLaren 720s Spyder which is about the same price and would spank the shit out of it?

So I think BMW May have overpriced it by 10-20k or so, but since an M4CS comes in around 115k (with CCBs) the M4GTS would have been priced at least 140k appropriately.
