Lots of good opinions here.

A couple of facts

1) The clutch effort for the M2 is surprisingly light compared to most cars - including the 997. You'll see what I mean.

2) The N55 M2 6MT pre-S55 engine is a special, low production car (under 5,000 units total 6MT in US). The 997 is a basic 911 with production numbers that are much higher (200,000 + in the US). Unless you purchase a special 997 (GT3, specially-optioned car, etc) the M2 will hold its value and may appreciate - speculative, but look at current Honda S2000 prices vs. Porsche Boxster values (a low mileage S2000 is selling for higher than its original price).

Both great and very different cars.
