Since this is sort of a production sports car from the intial build and design the handling and overall driving experience is at a different level from BMW M. The straight line exhiliration is not as exciting as an E46 M3 at all but the car feels so controlled and well balanced.

I am also ordering a E92 M3 with DKG so i am hoping this gap will be closed with the new model but there is something magical about the way a Porsche handles and drives. They are 2 different cars and and in 2 different categories making it difficult to compare.
