No 911 competitor you say?
Y'all need to quiet down. What is a 911 competitor, exactly? AFAIK, the only thing there is to compete with the 911 is another 911. Are the Merc AMG GT and Corvette not 911 fighters? But how could they be if they have much longer wheelbases and engines in the front?
Hell, my m240i is as close on paper as you can get to a 911 Carrera these days. 2+2 coupe, RWD, available MT, 1 trunk, 3.0L turbocharged 6-cylinder, 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds. Still, Captain Obvious would tell you it's not a 911 and never will be.
What do you guys really want? A car from BMW that will lap the Nordschleife quicker than a 911 GT2 RS? Keep smoking the crack pipe!
