Have you driven a 718? I know everyone pines over the loss of the NA-6, but I am curious if it is really as bad as the P-Car 'mudgeons make it out to be. I know I've mentioned it a number of times before and am in the vast minority, but I didn't like how much you had to wring out the MA1 to get the car to feel quick. After having the m3 for a while, you may find the lack of torque less appealing then when you had the 987.

Granted, the biggest reason I got the 991.2 was because I didn't want a turbo 4... but don't let my snobbery get in the way of a smart decision.
