The 911 S is higher performing but it should be at ~ $30k more than the M4. I love both cars. Have a 997.2 PDK and considering an upgrade to 991.1 Carrera S or M4. 991.2 Carrera S is too pricey for me right now. Also, I love the engine note of the 991.1 S

Some of those times are wrong. The Carrera S is not slower than an M4 to 250 kph. Just look at the 0-150 mph, which is almost the same, the Carrera S is 3.1 seconds faster. Can this be fixed?

The 991.2 S is amazing, it is so far ahead of the M4 by every metric whether it be handling based, straight line based or track based - look at the ring time 7.34 - super car territory. The M4 is a great car but the 991.2 S is clearly in a different class.
