Porsches do not attract me at all in terms of the exterior design, 911 series look comical to me for some reason (sorry). Taycan is a bit better, but nothing compared to the astonishing combination of elegance & brutality that you have in a BMW 8 series.
The engineering behind 911s is to be respected, although if you plan to drive them flat-out you need to adjust to this weird mid-rear engine chassis, so you are gaining a special skillset that won't help you with any other car.
M8 can compete with Porsches on the track, it will beat most of them besides of the fastest models. i.e. of course GT3/GT2 and 911 Turbo S will be faster.
If you want to go faster sacrificing some comfort, I would rather look towards McLaren, then the latest R8 ain't bad.
