I certainly disagree. Don't think either an f430 or an r8 are as exciting to drive as a 991S.
To be even close to a 991S you need an r8 v10 or a 458 both of which are 2-3X more expensive and still aren't better driver's car.
The 991S motor is much torquier than the s65, and the m3 isn't even on the same planet as a 991S performance/handling wise.
The GT3 amongst the line up is a bargain though. For 130K you get a car that competes and or beats 600+ hp cars (458 Speciale, McLaren 650S). The GT3 RS is going to be something out of this world.

A Mustang GT gets you 99% of the experience of an M3 and in many cases better performance for 1/2 the price...guess you should have bought one of those instead.
