I haven't driven an E9x M3 but I've driven a few 911s (old and new) very hard and I don't see how anything could be easier to drive on the limit. You can make those cars do anything, first RWD performance car I drove was a 911 and it was no problem sliding it around.

I think the rear engine and short wheel base scare people into thinking that 911s are blood-thirsty animals, but get into one and push it and you'll understand why the 911 is the benchmark for sports cars. It's not because of the raw performance numbers. The user who traded his 997 turbo in for a M3 made the mistake of buying an AWD car and expecting it to be tossable. The C2S and GTS (and obviously the GT3) are are the real drivers cars in the 911 lineup.
