Well I’m the end of my career. 30 yrs experience. Engineering and project management. Got lucky with mitfull of stock options so I can retire anytime now. Just waiting for the grail car first. Then I’ll pull the retirement pin so I can do other things than 65 hrs a week in my office. Plus I’m on call 24/7 and can’t drink while on call. (Not that I’m a drinker). I’ve sacrificed my entire life to work. And I think I’m done with it all now.
Anyways I found a mint 6500km 2018 gt3 with a manual, carbon buckets & pccb’s. Just negotiating the deal now. I’ll have to get rid of the M2 which makes me a bit sad, as the gt3 will take over that space in the garage.

Just go drive these cars first before you pull the trigger.

amazing look forward to hearing about your experience with the 991.2 GT3 manual as that is my pinnacle car "within reach"

you will miss the M2 for sure, I miss mine, they are a special kind of fun, but you'll be ok with the GT3

2023 M2  [8.33]
If it were me, I'd take a ACR Viper any day just for the experience.

Here's one out of left field, get a Raptor R and instead of carving canyons, take it to the dunes and have at it. Keep the M2 for the fun car on the street.

I am new here and have been looking for a F87 M2 to enjoy. I had a look at this car and can't help wonder if this is the car you traded? Thanks, Greg

If you really don’t want to be bored, I would suggest going to the track. I’ve driven GT3, Turbo, 600LT. All incredible cars, but on the street driving them around 3 tenths, meh. Now, on the track and at the limit is where these cars really become interesting imo. Otherwise on the street there’s only so much you can really feel barely pushing these cars on the street imo.
