The moment I can get in a 997.1 Turbo for $65K with reasonable miles, I'm there. |

991 has now moved upscale to a level where it is now not a direct competitor to an M3.
I can't justify paying @ $120th. For that money several lightly used exotics might make more sense. M3 is just a great car overall for the money. |

Yes but those used exotics will brake down, cost a fortune to keep up even if they don't brake up. Chances are 991 is bullet proof.

Much truth to this. Just wait 18 months and pick one up for $75-80K. I love Porsche but refuse to pay the asking price for new ones. They are about 20-25% overpriced IMO. Only one I bought brand new was in '06 for my former CaymanS. Did pretty well on resale.

How does a 991 Carrera S compare to a 997 GTS? I know people have been throwing around that the 991 Carrera S is faster than a GT3, which I'm having a hard time undersatnding, my thought was that it would in a way equate to a GTS model's performance...
But then again, I'm a porsche noob. |

Agreed. Although, I wouldn't call 991 overpriced. I'm guessing the F3x M3/4 will be $85-90k optioned. So, $90k for M3 vs $110k for a 991S...

Base 991S is $96.4k, so I left some margin for options. Sure make it $120k if you want. My point is, people here are comparing 991S to E9X M3. Hence, the massive gap. Compare it to F3X M3, which I'm speculating to be $85-90k, it is not that bad.

Not base price, but with options. Currently, $60k base E92 becomes $75k easily with options. So F3X $85k is possible. Also, since BMW will call the coupe M4, I'm pretty sure they'll charge couple grand extra, hence $90k.

Totally agree! Saw the 991 at a local launch event. Judging by the size of the crowd, i swear it was the launch of the latest Toyota Corolla if i hadn't know better Anyway, the new 991 is indeed more desirable, but way overpriced. I feel it doesn't give me enough of it to be worth jumping over from the M3 when buying new. Maybe the new Cayman S wouldn't hurt the wallet this much...
