"No one shopping for an M3, 911, or AMG product who actually intends to use them for their performance i"

I was easily able to pull .9 g's in my 911 (2012) [1] at least according to the g meter that it had (yes it has one and which measures forces in all direction) on a highway on ramp.

Not that I ever looked into it but I'm now seeing the 911 can pull 1.04 g's.

One other thing to note that is important. The size of the car matters not just the speed and the lateral g's. For example in the Porsche Macan S I have now the performance and ride is great. But the simple larger physical size makes it a completely different experience than driving the 911. [2] To quiet, to comfortable (but really nice not complaining..)

[1] Noting that I earned the money for this car by a traditional, what would be called here "lifestyle" business, not a hit the lottery internet VC funded win.

[2] For that matter a Mini Cooper S that I owned a few years before was more fun in many situations even though the tires and grip were way less and the acceleration palled in comparison to the 911. (But it was well over 1/4 the price and well worth it..)
