Default 997 vs m3 coupe smg

I got too many tickets in my 04 m3, do you think a 6 speed will be easier to contol even though the base 997 is faster?

MoneyBiz - You could also drive with the parking break on! That will slow you down!

Here's the trick: (well, a few pointers at least).

Safe and ticket-free speeding requires extreme amounts of situational awareness and therefore should be the exception not the rule.

Consider your Porsche or M3 to be ordinary means of transportation 95% of the time, relax and move along like a snail caught in traffic. When conditions allow, the car becomes a frickin' rocket, for example, when there'sno cops around and you pass other slow cars on a rural highway.

Most of them were paced but the v1 helped a couple times. The problem is the false alerts.
