In a BMW M3 vs. Porsche Carrera race which one do you think would win?
In a BMW M3 vs. Porsche Carrera race which one do you think would win?
Standard Carrera 2/4 probably beats the standard M3, I'd think. Yet the CSL is very likely a different matter. Any one of the other Carreras (Turbo, GT3 or GT2) probably beats any of the two M3's, I think.
I'm reasoning basically on the basis of power-to-weight ratios and "track or tourism" focus here.
My vote goes to the M3.
Tdot owns you.
I'd say the M3 CSL.It is the best...
I would say the M3 will win, although I prefer the Porsche-design.
Friends say that I've always got a smile on my face.
If it's a standard non-SMG/CSL M3, and your run-of-the-mill 911 (non-GT2 or 3, turbo, 4/4S whatever), I'd put my money on the Bimmer. Zero to sixty in 4.8 vs. 5.1 for the Porsche, and if you could throw away the limiter on the M3, it might top out over the Porsche as well. Also, the BMW has it's engine in the right place.
If its the CSL... then the BMW would win... but if we are talking about a Turbo... then the Porsche would win...
If you are natural, you are cool and if you are cool you must be a CCK
If it were the standard models i think the M3

id put my money on the porsche any day, especially if were talking on a track for a decent amount of laps. the beemer might throw a quicker hot lap but the porsche would be more consistent with fast times and more reliable.
plus anyone could make their 3-series look like an m3. what can you make look like carrera???
Well need you look any further then the Bathurst 24 hour...the yearly results there speak for themselves....top 10 for the beemer and top 3 for the porsche(and one of the drivers was a weatherman)Originally Posted by enicarie
On a track the porsche will win for sure...(against a normal M3 manual or SMGII not against a M3 CSL)
The accelerations are quite even but a little advantage for the porsche..
no way you could do 4.8 s for the 0 to 60 with the BMW ( the traction is quite bad on this car)..the porsche has by far a better traction...the real time to 0 to 60 for a normal M3 is about 5.4-5.5 s
"sport auto" in france mesured the M3 to 24.8s on the 0 to 1000 m
porsche 911 carrera 2 320 ps to 24.2 s
damn,this topic is really old,its for 1 year ago!
PORSCHE would win that for sure
M3 would win, but I'd rather be in the Porsche.
I read an Auto Motor und Sport comparo of just those two. The Porsche was undeniably faster than the M3, but they picked the M3 because it was more practical and only a step behind the Porsche for a lot less bank.
An it harm none, do as ye will
