I had a 987.2S as my second car for awhile. I know not a 911, but from the driver seat forwards, it’s pretty much the same. The car was the best thing I’ve driven on track. The corner exit grip, light steering, mid corner balance, and direct turn in was otherworldly. It never felt like you had to wrestle it around, it just did what you wanted. Incredible on a wet track. For family and time management reasons, I consolidated my F30 335i and 987.2S into an M2 and an upgraded family SUV (X5).

On the street, the M2 is far more entertaining to drive with the turbo engine and low RPM torque thrust. It has better tech, more comfortable to drive, quieter cabin. The 987.2S was only entertaining when you were wringing out the engine. Oh that sweet flat 6 induction noise with the air scoop right next to your ear.

I would expect the 911 to be more refined, but have a similar street driving experience.
