Used 991.2 manual vs. New M2 CS manual?
I understand these 2 cars are not usually cross-shopped but I am.
Looking at a used 2017 991.2 Carrera 911S manual in Mexico Blue ($98k) with 10k miles or a new 2020 M2 CS manual in Misano Blue ($85k). So, for +$13k I can get into a really nice Porsche... I come from owning a e46 M3, (2) e92 M3, and an F80 M3 in the past - all manual... Big BMW fan but the G82 just isn't doing it for me... this is my chance to get into a P-car but not sure it's worth it... Thoughts? |

It's a really tough call. I see a lot of 991/992 models. I don't see one and think it's special. Every M2 turns my head. OG, comp, doesn't matter. I don't see them often. The CS won't be very distinguishable from other M2s to non enthusiasts.
If my heart leaned more towards grand tourers I'd probably go 991. If I wanted a car that I could get the tail out a bit for kicks I'd lean CS. |

I'm not sure if I would classify a 991.2 S as a forever car even in a PTS color?
If you're thinking non-GT 911, I'd sooner go for a well optioned 911 Carrera T in PTS with LWBs, Sport-Chrono, RWS and Manual w/LSD. I like PCCBs myself for it's benefits but the standard brakes are also excellent and cost-effective. |

you have to try Porsche it's an excellent sports car but geared towards grand tourism the M2 CS is a fun car that offers a lot of pleasure linked to the 50/50 weight distribution the M2CS is intuitive easy to oversteer, the opposite of the Porsche which is reliable efficient but serious or even boring

It would be no question for me. 991.2 all day. I have a 991.2 Targa GTS and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned, which is now my 31st vehicle.

I don’t view the 991.2 Carrera S as a forever car. There is a bazillion of them and it’s not likely to go down as a favored iteration. The M2 CS, on the other hand, just feels special and will be my final ///M, forever in my stable. And with the CS, you will be the first and only owner.

I have one too and it's a keeper. I've been through nearly every M car since 1988 and stepped into porsches in 2008. if you haven't stepped into a porsche I would highly recommend it. While the M cars are fun the P cars are next level In terms of driving characteristics. I haven't driven am M car that comes close. Though they do have different personalities.

Me personally I wish I can get a CS but no call from my dealer so doubtful. Only six weeks till year end so it is probably not happening. Probably going to get a new 911 in another year or so but not looking forward to the loan balance. The new M3/M4 are embarrassments to me. Last edited by Hegge; 11-16-2020 at 11:23 AM.. |

The fact that the M2 CS will be rare and unique is the reason I decided to go for it. I originally passed on my dealers' 1st allocation of the M2 CS and regretted it the very next day. I happened to pop in on Thursday and was surprised my CA had a 2nd allocation for one, unclaimed and still in status 112. Just dropped off my deposit this afternoon and received my production # (week 50). Dealer selling for MSRP. There are M2 CS out there! Keep looking and good luck! |

I know zero sales guys at local Porsche dealers so even thinking about an allocation for a new one would seem very unlikely for me. Meanwhile, when I walk into my BMW dealer everyone knows my name and feel like I'm at home. Was 1st on the list and passed on my dealers' one and only allocation in mid-September. It was gone an hour after I told them no and have regretted it ever since. They didn't call me back but when I popped in last week they offered me a 2nd surprise allocation and waited the weekend to decide. Happy I was able to secure it! Saving the manuals!

Nice. Mine shows an m2cs and x5. I'm thinking I'd like to see a 992 turbo in the garage with the CS at some point. I can't seem to shake the desire to have one. Who knows. |

All but maybe the smallest Porsche dealerships will be able to come up with a Carrera S allocation for you with little to no effort. It's not a GT2/3/4 and is not hard to get. It will always be there, so passing for now comes with no risk of missing out.
