Just picked this up today! My new daily driver driver. Can't wait to get through the 1200 mile break in so I can start hammering this thing!

 

Congrats, very nice combo! These things are getting close to 500whp with tune only!! enjoy the new toy

 

That is close to 500hp stock, most underrated engine ever!

 

Beautiful!

 

So nice...i havent seen one in person yet but from the photos i actually think i prefer the M3 over the M4. How does the steering and suspension feel?

 

I bought my car with the standard non-adjustable suspension. It is firm but by no means uncomfortable. The handling is excellent and very confidence inspiring. The best handling car I have owned other than my various race cars!

PS: The brakes are excellent!!

 

Nice M3, but why not use your 997 as a DD? A 911 is the best DD made IMHO. I currently use my 997.2 TTS as my DD which replaces my previous DD, a 991 C2S.

 

You must not have 3 kids

 

Wow sweet ride and a nice combo! Enjoy!

 

Great looking whip! Definitely a little jealous. My dd is a Lex IS250 no *****!!

 

I have four, but they all drive now. But, I did have a 993 when they were young and my wife always had a minivan, SUV or sedan.

 

I would consider the 997/911 as a decent daily driver, but by no means is it even close to the best. Even if you don't need back seats/storage, there are other cars that click all the boxes and much cheaper than the Porsche. The M3 is a prime example. Same with the C63 and if you need awd the RS5. Sure these cars aren't going to lap the Ring as quicky, but we are talking DD.

 

Congrats! I have one as well. I love the Sakhir orange interior. I went with the standard suspension and I love it. The car did excellent at both SPA and the Nurburgring Mine should be back in mid August. Can't wait. Ultimate daily driver, IMO.

 

The biggest thing for me on my DD is that i want it to be comfortable, easy in/out, and have some luggage/ppl capacity. And i dont think the 911 has the storage capacity. I mean its pretty good (vette was better) but not enough for like big grocery runs and stuff like that. And lastly. A car that you dont have to worry about road hazards/parking lots/speed bumps ect is nice too of course; although with nice cars i know us enthusiasts are always careful.

 

Why would I ever consider something "cheaper" as my DD? I spend ~ 2hours per day, 5 days per week, plus some weekend drives in my DD, so I want the best car for the time I drive the most. I use a 1999 Jeep for week-end chores. I have never understood why someone would buy a Porsche, Ferrari, Vette, whatever, to drive a few miles on the weekend and use a clunker for a DD that they drive tens of thousands of miles per year. I had rather spend the tens of thousands of miles in my 911 and the least time in my clunker.
