That's. Really good point and probably why I've owned so many M cars.

I have an F80 manual paired with a 991.2 gt3 manual, had a 458 before the gt3

the f80 is definitely the trickiest to drive out the bunch. but thats what makes it fun. trying to tame the beast. the back end loves trying to kill you if you don't show it respect and anticipate the turbo lag. especially after you go stage 1. huge power with relatively small amount of mechanical grip being a FR layout on a 275 tire

M4s are actually much more neutral in corners.

911s traditionally have entry understeer and exit oversteer, which some drivers might attribute to as confidence inspiring on the entry.

^Beautiful car but the those wheels and front bumper is lacking. It deserves a GT3/GT4 style bumper with larger openings.

wheels are a 2500 adder : ) and don't like the sport package for the front with side front bumper "wings"

i agree. the turbo has always been lacking there but it needs to be able to clear speed bumps and downforce/aero isn't the biggest priority for it.

The 992 GT3RS will have the turbo's widebody and address those things.
