I'm a BMW M-lover and if I buy a Porsche it will probably be a GT3, GT3RS, GT4, GT2…. But even so; I think a 997.2 GTS is more special and more of an event to drive, then a M2. If I did not need rear seats and had a 997.2 GTS I would not trade it in in for a M2 and definitely not for a M4… The M4 is not my kind of car. M3 is something I would consider if I needed a fast four door saloon.
M2 is a practical and very fun car for a nice price….but not a 991 alternative. A normal 997.2 GTS is about the same in terms of performance then the M2, so the performance standpoint is not argument for me between these two cars. When we are talking Porsche I think a M2 vs Cayman S (or even GTS) is a better comparison.
