Re: The best of 1M

My itch had been there a while. Then today I took my manual Pork Boxster out for a spin after absence of 10 days, and.... I am god damn loving it. So I am enjoying the pureness of manual and I am enjoying my Pork. I dont think I want to trade it for the 1M. Not just yet.

Re: The best of 1M

Many articles wrote about comparing this 1M to the E46 M3, chassis-wise, suspension etc. To those who had driven both, any thoughts on the difference in feel? Never tried the 1M so no idea.

1M has better chassis than E46M3 as the former is sharing the same components as the current M3 so win in that regard

Coming from the GT3 background, do you miss your P?

You tried the 991 C2S?

I tried it recently. Feels pretty good. The front doesn't lift up like it used to. But somehow the M feels tighter. Not by alot but still noticeable. M seems to accelerate faster as well. Again not by alot.

But this new 911 is by far the best looking to date. Even better than the 993.

Does the M meet up to your expectations left by the GT3? In terms of ferrying passengers around, without a doubt, M wins hands down!
