But oddly, on paper the M4 vert's dimensions are not that different from the M8's - only 2.7" shorter, 2.2" narrower, 250 pounds lighter. But the car feels like it's a thousand pounds lighter and that's especially felt in the corners. Accelerating hard through a curve in the M8 is a white knuckle experience imo. But in the M4, it's 8/10ths of my old 911s. And dollar-for-dollar, it can't be beat.
This is how a feel now with the 718 chassis compared to the 911.... The newer 911 feels more like the M8....
