Porsche Owners...?

I guess there are many M2 owners who also own Porsche on the side. I'm wondering what kind of Porsche you guys own I guess. Anyone????

2007 997t. 6spd manual with the crono package. I've had 10 years now and it's still awesome.

2009 997 manual. don't know what else to say, there is nothing really like a pcar, the steering and exhaust note are unique. M2 has a trunk so there is that. analog feel to everything, I like it. soso gas mileage. another staggered set so like the M2 I am pretty anal with tire pressure. also run pss on it

My M2 is still on order, but I have a 2015 Carrera S with the 7-speed manual, Sport Design package and some of the performance goodies. Before that, I had a 2014 Cayman S. Both of these are/were a true blast to drive. You really feel connected to the car.

Am not a porsche guy, but am sure it's the ultimate dream car for most german car enthusiast. I know couple of Porsche fanatic and NO other sport car but porsche entered their garage for 20 years! So my question is:

What's​ the reason you bought an M2 ?

I am waiting for my 2018 M2 allocation. Currently drive a 2015 GT3 with carbon buckets and a 9+ year old 335XI coupe. I've owned a couple E46 M2s. On my second GT3 and waiting for the 2018 allocation. Previously owned a 997.1 turbo and a few 997S varieties. For me, and many like me, once you go GT3 or real GT Porsche, you don't back unless you're adding to the stable. I feel as though Im driving a truck after driving my GT3. Porsche really nails it, imo. I am really excited about the M2 and feel BMW has lost their way a little in recent years. I hope the M2 is indication of they are returning to their roots.

I have a GT3.2 scheduled for delivery in July so I have put my GT3.1 on the market. I did not want to drive it in the meantime in case I put it into a wall. You just never know your luck.

So I wanted something for the interim that I could still take to the track and have some fun so I bought it as a fill-in car. But, it is proving to be more fun than I expected. It's a great city car. Better than a 991 IHMO for bombing city streets.

Indeed, since I got it 2 weeks ago, I have hardly driven any of my other cars. Novelty factor hasn't worn off yet I guess.

And BTW, yesterday I took a blast out to Dusseldorf to visit Classic Remise. Hit the speed limiter at 250kph!

That is great to hear. I am looking forward to the M2.

I assume PDK-S for the .2?

Not a bit, but I have other more practical cars. My favorite at the moment for puttering around town is a mint 1992 Volvo 240 DL sedan with 85k miles. The track is where it is at and the GT4 is perfect for that - the M2 is just a hooligan load of fun. Love them both, just each has its own personality.
