M3 to 997TT
Who has done it? I'm in the process of getting a 997TT to replace the M3. I've loved the car for 4 years but the porsche power and handling won me over. Granted the M3 is gorgeous, newer and has more convenience the Porsche just seems to be a fantastic DD and if I have a truck and regular 3 series for hauling stuff.
I have a feeling there is no looking back...

There is no comparison between the two cars in my opinion. The TT is in a league above the M3, which is the avenue I'm going down in the future as well.

I would do it in a heart beat!, I am still wondering if I should make the jump from my Supercharged E92 M3 to a 996 Turbo and heavily modify it.

A lot of the people I've talked to about that switch said that if they could do it again, they would have gone 997 GT3. If you are for sure going Turbo route, the suspension is pretty soft so that'll need some attention depending on what you are looking for.

I love my M3, but I miss my Porsche dearly. Goin' back some day. It wasn't a Turbo, but I made the mistake of test driving one once and will never forget that ride. All else pales. The M and the 911 are so different I just laugh at the comparos and press hype racing the two against each other and all that junk. GIves the scribes a great day at the track, I guess. 911 Turbo, even the 996, is in a league of it's own. And remember a Turbo S 997 and 991 is about as rarified as you can get- sub 3 second 0-60. Boom!
