If you need a 4 door in addition to the GT3, why not get a Panamera?

Additionally, I figured for the money it would take to upgrade to the scud I could just get an M3 in addition to the GT3 and I think I made the right choice.

Anyone else have the same combo?





Yes I do as well.

Nice stable! Will be adding a GT3 to my E90 M3. What part of town are you in? Look forward to seeing you around.

991 GT3 and E92 M3, both in Fast White. Naturally aspirated heaven.

Similar pair here; E92 M3 and 991 GT3. I've thought about getting rid of the M3, but I just can't convince myself to let it go. The V-8 is just too fun.

I have the new M3 and have had it on track three times. It is surprisingly competent, even bone stock. Just ordered wheels, R compounds and pads and I'll be good to go. Will save some wear and tear on the RS.

Im not a fan of AWD. Something about a 4 door that will drift for days. If it snows I drive my jeep.

good daily driver that can double as a hooligan machine, so long as you don't care about mpg or need to drive in snow. stay away from the manual (it's been neutered) and ceramics (too touchy for the street). the tex/cloth interior option is really, really nice. wish more sports cars offered similar.

Surprisingly the MPG isn't that bad. Driving the car like a 16 year old gets me around 19mpg and on the highway if I take it easy I can average 25+mpg. Better than my jeep which will get about 13/14...

I drove mine like a 14yr old, which explains why I could never match your numbers I am able to pull 17 consistently in my wrangler unlimited though, so I guess that makes up for it....
