Got it about a week ago and have been driving it on and off with the M3. A week into I have to say, with a bias that bends toward Porsche I must add, that despite having nearly 30 more horsepower the M3 is by far more fun to drive. The Turbo, while a great car is not as precise and focused as an M3, plus understeer is my mortal enemy. If I had the choice between the two I would definitely go with the M3. In fact, I'm going to drive the 996TT for a few thousand miles and then hopefully sell it for more than I paid. While the M3, I am keeping for a long time. In short GO WITH THE M3!!!!!
Great to hear from someone with both. By "precise" do you mean that the Porsche gets a little tail happy? That could be a selling point. I haven't decided yet. Or, do you mean that the AWD causes understeer?
