50-50 between Audi S8 Plus and 997.2 MT. I recently mounted Michelin AS4s on the 997, so I could use it during an additional three or four months of cold weather, and I think the 997 will account for more than 50% going forward. Mike

Thanks! Mine wasn't a track edition but it did have all the carbon fiber bits. The race headers turned it into a beast (and set off car alarms galore).

Gorgeous M3CX!! That’s an amazing color. The tail end of Covid I was on the list for an allocation for a Dravit Gray M3CX (daily), and the new M2 for a track car.
I switched things up and went IS500 for the V8, and a 992 911S for track. BMW called me with both allocations a few weeks after the Lexus/911 purchases.

Have you done anything for sound on the M3? If so, was it a solid improvement? That was my biggest hurdle I couldn’t seem to get around. The xdrive sure allowed you to launch the car effortlessly.

I have a GT500 (Non-Track Edition) and had M3 Jahre Edition. GT500 is such a fun car to drive and the Exhaust is an animal. Just purchased Akropovic for my incoming gts.

Thanks! Nope, I have not changed the exhaust, I'm actually perfectly pleased with the factory note, it is just enough for me. Only mods are a set of KW HAS and a set of Vossen wheels, and yes, this thing launches with ease!

I had the same concerns before the purchase. We have had the vehicle for just over one year and have ~32,500km on it. Love the vehicle, and beside one minor electrical issue at around 10,000km (faulty electronic thermostat caused CEL to come on) we have been completely trouble free!

So I just sold my Nissan Frontier Pro4-X and replaced it with a new Acura MDX Type S and this thing is pretty darn cool. 355hp twin turbo V-6, Quad exhaust tips, Full leather interior, Super 12 position of massage seat options, air suspension and a absolutely KILLER ELS studio 3d signature edition sound system. This thing is surprisingly darn quick in sport mode and it rides fantastic, almost as smooth as my wife's old Mercedes. I tinted the front windows and de-badged the exterior as it had chrome badges everywhere.

2018 Audi TTRS since new.
C2S ordered for June delivery.
Can't decide whether to hold onto the TT or not. I have a feeling I won't want to drive it much once I have the 911.

That’s a very nice car. I would probably want to keep it as well, furthermore if you’ve had it since new. You are right though; the 911 will take precedence all the time. The mental process you have to go through is to think about situations when you wouldn’t want to take your 911 for very specific reasons.
