Anyone squarely ready to purchase a $215k Turbo S wouldn't consider the M8 a value. If money is truly no issue who cares about value, they want performance and would go further up market or tune and mod the 911. Plus on the track or street the M8 is a lesser car than the 911 Turbo S so once you add depreciation after 2 years that gap widens to $75k+... No one wants to lose on the track and the wallet...

I have memberships at 3 courses, though. Can't leave at the course because I might play somewhere different any given day.

And golf season is all year 'round down here.

I have a 911 Turbo and yes you can put clubs back there but it is pain in the neck. It's hard to remove them if you are in a parking lot. I generally had them in passenger seat. There is also the issue that they are easily seen, which is a problem in the city.

For all of these reasons I am trading my 911 TT for a M8 Competition convertible. The M8 and the 911 are quite different. If I had more garage space, I'd keep both but neither is my DD, and I wanted to switch it up for a while.

For those comparing the M8 and 911 - it's apples and oranges. The 911 is a sports car - loud, fast, firm to harsh and ergonomically challenged in some respects (storage). The M8 is a GT car with it's own ergonomic challenges (rear seats). They are both very fast but different.
