As long as the door handle didn't fall off while trying to close it, of course.

Yeah, yeah—I know I'm about to be berated and my experience is really but one car but, what can I say, I'm a sarcastic bastard.

My sarcasm aside: the M8 and 911 are NOT in competition with one another IMnrHO. The rest of the pack are indeed competing against the 911. The fact that her fat arse beat the other two is so much more than an, "oh, really?" moment, it's downright amazing and a testament to the car's design and setup.

// my license plate says it all

As for the 911 winning and as I've mentioned in perhaps my total of 3 posts on the topic: the car is a sublime driver's machine and the PDK is literally defying physics... so I'd have bet my money on the 911 in this comparison every time.
Couldn't agree more. The 911TS is on another level. That the M8 did this well on that rubber is impressive as hell
