I agree with you. The Turbo is too fast for the street. By the time you wind it up you’re in a bad place.

As for the 986s or 987s, nothing drives like them. I love the way they drive. I’d sell the 996tt before the 987.

What are your 987 specs again?

I keep finding myself looking at E36 M3s. I really need to drive one to remind myself that I probably don't want to live with one every day.

The convertible version I drove back before I got my used E46 M3 was a shaky, flexy mess.

I drove multiple back when I originally got my E46 and I couldn't get past it. I never figured out whether they just weren't for me, or I didn't give them a fair shake... (pun intended. )

You managed to get mine up to [redacted speed] on the mass ave bridge and seemed to enjoy it...

I always really liked the E36 M3 though I remember borrowing my business partners coupe back in the day and the ride was very harsh but everything else about it was awesome.

Also if I remember correctly didn’t one of the auto magazines do a test and said the drivers feel is so incredibly that you could feel driving over a dime.
