its also like 150% as powerful. Back in the day we used to say 100 pounds was roughly equal to 10hp, and the M8 has like, 200hp more? So really, it's like it's 1000lbs lighter than the 911, lol.

Yes I realize it's not really like that, but I tell you what, here in FL without any twisty mountain roads I can't think of a damn thing a 911 does better than an M8 other than "have a manual" and "depreciate less". Which are two very big selling points, don't get me wrong. On the flip side, the M8 has an engine and exhaust that sounds GOOD, not just an acquired taste like the flat 6.
