If you're trying to restrict to the same price range/value of the 1M, I'm sure it gets even tougher. PS - Yes I know I don't own a 1M and I'm commenting here, just an admirer. |

Give us a report back after the summer and let us know what you think? Maybe a good comparison would be interesting as it feels like many 1M owners gravitate to a Cayman or 911. |

Enjoyable but not as raw. I thought it was remarkably tame.

I love the Cayman too. It's about the only thing that I really like now but Cayman is more P-51D graceful, svelte, beautiful to 1M which is more P-47. If I was in a dogfight I would probably pick the P51 but if I wanted to fly low and dirty taking flak gimme the big Thud. Very different cars yet both appealing. One is Roger Moore the Other Daniel Craig. One is fine wine the other is malt liquor. : )

Porsche is the last company that is catering to old school enthusiasts. The keep their nav screens out of the way. Offer manuals, good steering feedback and listen to their customers. They brought back NA motor because people like it. That's why Porsche attracts people that used to like what BMW was.

Now that the 2020 Corvette Stingray has been revealed, just wondering if anyone has given thought to that car as a 1M replacement. Although an "apples to oranges" comparison, the performance of the Vette for the price is quite insane. You could potentially even trade 1:1.

I’ve gotta say, although I’m not personally interested and would never buy one without a stick, Corvette just served up a moonshot. The C8 is practically a Ferrari for $60k, which is insane. Last edited by duder13; 07-20-2019 at 09:18 AM.. |

The corvette C8 sure looks great. Quite a departure from the past and a step forward for GM. I'm curious to see the write ups and comparisons. If GM brings out a real sports car for $60k that isn't plagued with maintenance issues or cost it could be a big hit.

Yeah, it really seems like the next real NSX, but even less expensive. I can’t imagine who would buy a new Supra over it for nearly the same price. The Supra had better bring a manual transmission option quickly, or there’s literally zero compelling reasons to buy one...and that’s coming from a longtime GM hater.

Whenever I get the itch to start looking around at other cars, I just read David E. Davis Jr.’s classic BMW 2002 review and pretend it’s about the E82. Last edited by duder13; 07-20-2019 at 09:31 AM.. |

For me the 1M is simply in a league of its own. Have raised a kid in it since birth—try doing that in any Cayman or 911!! 911 maybe but never a Cayman
