Carrera S or M5
I'm undecided between a Porsche 911S or an M5. I have driven both cars and both were amazing machines but now it's time for me to decide on which car to pick.
The car is going to be my DD. Anyone who has both or had one of them can help me with this?

You rule by the way.... oh back on topic- I recently just picked up a C4S and this was my comparo to my Black Series. The Black Series and the M5 are not apples to apples but these are my initial thoughts on both cars. The M5 will have its deficiencies and advantages vs the BS and no doubt against the C2S as well. I think the M5 compared to a 991 C2S is tough one- different cars with different purposes. Quote:

Totally agree on that one. Man I had an awesome time driving the S. Push the power button on that one and it really starts to sing. The c4s is no joke either.

i priced out the carrera s, and with the options i want (PDK, power kit, sport chrono package, sport exhaust and sport design package), its like $2000 less than the gt3!!! and the gt3 comes with all this standard. (essentially) but with 50 more HP in the GT3! thats like 100 hp in m5 terms. lol can you imagine that carrera s with an extra 75 HP??? are you kidding? 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. 0-100 in 7.5 seconds! and a 9000 rpm redline. and supposedly the ride quality is leagues better than the previous gt3 as well. no brainer.

Not to thread jack, But I have a random question. The New GT3 looks sick and seems to have a lot of people talking. What's the big difference between the GT3 and Turbo S 911? I see the turbo S is more $ and a little faster. Is the GT3 just more of a "race" car version?

Exactly, everyone thinks they can just walk into a porsche dealer and get their order in.... and then they want to lease it and get the same residuals as the 991 c2s at 24 months (75%). Oh and then the pricing, the GT3 is an msrp car if not more (if on the ground) and the 991 can be had for 10k off if you work it.

eeven if you could get 10k off the s. i think the value of the gt3 is still better considering is comes standard with the PDK, sport exhaust, powerkit; 30 hp + another 50! |

Oh no doubt--- its just finding one that you can actually get--- order allocations are gone and the ones that are on the ground or order cancels will have the beastly markups.

GT3 all the way. Like any brand new sought after vehicle, especially halo versions, we need to apply Vic's rule of pay to play
I am hoping to do an ED on a Cayenne GTS for the wife in the spring and, if it is worth it look for an ED on a GT3 in late 2015. No reason to have a SUV and a sedan...I can DD a GT3 no problem!

I've driven both extensively. I can tell you the 991 is more fun when driven the correct way; at its limits.
The M5 is fun more of the time under its limits because of all the power it has. Also consider the M5s practicality. If practicality isn't an issue for you, jump on the 991 now!
