He has a point in that it's a good used car, was always overpriced.

The M8 is a lux Gran Touring car, not a sport’s car and was never meant to be a direct competitor to one, so I wish mag writers would stop comparing it to one The fact this ~4000 lb gt can hit 60 in 2.5-2.7 secs is rather remarkable. The M8, again because it’s a gt, is also far more comfortable to drive than any 911 as it should be.

The M8 really isn't priced similar a 911. The 911 will probably end up bring $100k more with some options.

He was really trashing the P-Zeros combination with crappy wet British roads. His first review, was very positive and the person riding with him was very complementary about the M8.

fwiw, I drove 911s for over 25 years and did not find them any less comfortable than the M8. Longest drive in one of my 911s was 1500 miles over two days. I was tired at the end of each of the days, but not sore.

With respect to BMW claiming it’s a 911 beater, that was a poor attempt at targeting its market share which they want badly. MB’s new SL basically stole the roof line and rearside profile from the 911 cab so it’s a direct competitor in a questionable way lol The new SL nonetheless is an interesting vehicle and I’d like to try one, but the 63 that’s on par with the M8 is a ~$200k vehicle and I’m not sure it’s worth that kind of premium.

A normal (average priced) M8 is 143k-150k with non CCBS and custom paint without carbon shit. No 992 is 240k unless you are talking Turbo S or a GT3 with an ADM but those cars are not comparable to the M8 or its segment (maybe the Turbo S but the performance is way different). A true 992S, C4S, or GTS pre ADM is around 150-160 and GTS is 160-175k. Again this is pre ADM. Yeah they are more via market conditions but not 100k more.

I have yet to see one on the ground thats over 200k in build thats not a GTS or GTS Targa. The beauty and the bane of Porsche is the ability to truly build a custom interior and exterior to some extent. Its far more dynamic, to your point, than BMW. That 200k car was what model? And what did you add to it? No way is it a basic build and yours at 138 is rather light except for the paint option. Your interior is not bespoke and clearly at 200k the 992 is unless again you cheated and used a GTS LOL.

It really isnt in my book either--- its, as mentioned and I have quite often as well said, a true GT car. In reality I could say that a Turbo S is a GT car too.
In my fucked up head, a GT3, and the RS models are more along the lines of sports cars and of course most Macca's, Fezzas, Lambos, etc (you get the picture that I personally am painting)

Mine is fairly loaded but with the 2022 msrp base of 136 and final was 174k. Mine is considered a heavier RWD build for most and my M8 was 138k which is actually lighter- my best delta guess by averages is about a 25k non adm margin via a GTS and even lower on a non ADM 992S or 4S I was able to watch my car in production in Germany via a process called Track Your Dream. While my car was not an order, I was able to access it retroactively to see how it transpired. Edit- no hud on Porsche 911's-- not needed IMHO. I often dont find the M8 or my M3 or any of my M's HUD a need but instead a want. I actually dont use the expanded HUD option as its too encumbering for my line of sight.

It's a ~4000 lb lux GT with an emphasis on performance (which is just fine in my book).
