Part of me that made me come back to the M3 is that at a deeper level I do not feel comfortable in a 6 figure car, especially since I will never have time to track it. We all have different yard-sticks I guess.
If you wouldn't have tracked a GT4 at all, it would be total waste IMHO. You'd be better off with a Boxster Spyder as long as you're ok with the convertible look of course. Hell I think people who don't track even an E9x M3 are dooming themselves to never experiencing a huge chunk of its fun potential and value, and I don't think I'd have been able to justify its higher cost of an M3 over a non-M E9x car to myself if I were looking at the fun differential only on the road. But as you say, different yardsticks!
