I am currently looking at a 2024 M3CS, but my neighbor let me drive his 2024 911 Carrera. No questions the fit and finish is nicer, and the porsche handles like a dream. Just not sure I want to leave BMW, the CS is a beast and love my 24 M2.

Thoughts.

I’m on my 8th 911. 997.2 GTS or 991.1 GTS is where you want to be.

If you were going to buy a 992 today and had $150,000 what would you buy?

A 991.1 GTS or 997.2 GTS and $30-60k in my pocket. I had a 992 GTS, didn’t like it as much.

I just traded my 2019 M5 for a 2025 911 Carrera. I definitely would tell you to make the change and you don't need a Turbo S or GTS to enjoy the car as a daily. You can only drive so fast on normal roads in the Northeast USA.

Yep, I did it - originally for a 2011' 997.2 911 C2S. Now I've got a '22 Cayman GTS 4.0. BMW M cars generally make more power, have more tech features, and cost less than their P-car alternatives. However, in my admittedly biased experience, the Porsche experience is even better when it comes to driving dynamics. Steering is perfection. And no super-fat steering wheel either. I'd definitely recommend anyone who's an automotive enthusiast to own at least one Porsche and decide for themselves. But I do love my wife's X5! And my daugher's X1 and the other daughter's Mini Cooper S. I just love the Porsche more than all the others. :-)

Went from a Z4MC to a 993, no regrets.

Had a 991.2 911 before my G80 M3. Was a great car and enjoyed my time with it, but it was a bare bones poverty spec and all maintenance and mods were much pricier. However, if I had $150K to spend, I would rather explore a V10 R8 as an option.

I have thought about the audi r8, but just not sure those will hold value in the future. A dream car is the V10 Spyder.

The question is if you need 4 doors. If not, spending way more money for the 911 makes sense. If you do, why the hell would you consider a 911?

Modern 911 ownership has become an eye-watering experience that is somewhat ....diluted. What do you want from a performance car? Do you enjoy the tech or the comfort etc? What are the roads like where you live? Would it be a daily or a fair weather driver?

I hated my 992 Turbo S. It was very fast sure, but it was by far the most boring vehicle I've owned. It was so refined that you really only felt it unless you were doing 9-10/10ths in a corner. The modes didn't make it go from nice cruiser to serial killer.

I would skip a 992 TTS but I really enjoy driving 997.2 GT2/3RS's. They still feel like a lot of fun and have that telepathic ability where you feel where you are at and know precisely where the limit lies without it being a boring clinical experience.

I like porsches, and if they weren't priced so high I'd consider having a few but the problem as others have mentioned is that they've turned into speculator cars where people just buy them to show they drive a Porsche. If I buy a car I want to beat the piss out of it. I want to know how it likes to slide. I want to take it to the track and compare it to my track car.

Problem is $200-300k gets you a lot of different cool cars. 3-500k like the Weissach 2RS? Yeah you could do that. Or you could just get a 488 Pista or 458 Speciale.

Have a 928 don't need a 911.
