  • Must cant drive a porsche dude your in a porsche 911 carrera s ....and you got wiped by a m3? either your car needs major work or you need major work.......LOL!

  • you should race the c2s PDk with the DKG m3..

  • Hi...

    i had a 997s with 355hp and i raced with new m5 (507hp) and new rs6 couldnt beat me. it was even!... Rear engine, light porsche 997 beats new m3 !!! Dont get me wrong, I LOVE BMW but m3 is sporty car, 997 is sport car...

    Now i have 997 gt3rs and i enjoy ewery minut but i still have my minds of a m3 : )

  • you think that you raced an M5 and an RS6 which has 571 bhp and mid range would rape your little 911, and they couldnt beat you.

    they could not have been full throttle because simply the S is SLOWER

  • Agree with you on the old mk1 997s. Even though the old 997s kicked the M6 on the Isle of Man street circuit. The new one MK2 is a different story. I used to race a rs6 on my way to work when i first got my mk1. It was pretty much even, which was down to weight. But when we got down to braking i was all over him.

  • Stupid Swedish.

    THE 997 911 s beats the M3 E92. This test is "manipulated". 355 Bmp straigt on the backwheel on a Porsche is more power than 420 in an BMW.

    The numbers speaks for it self.

  • You are a stupid Norweigen :)

    Numbers speaks for themselves: M3 is powerful.

  • We Norwegian are more stupid than you Swedish, I admit that. :-), But you are stupid as well...:-)

    There is a lot shorter drive-chain in a Porsche, more efficent. 911 doesn't need that much power to go fast.

  • Short drivetrain is a valid argument, havent heard that before.

    Good point.

  • I never understand these races...in a former race of yours, a 415 hp gt3 (996) beats a 500hp Gallardo, but a 385 hp (997) loses to a portly 400hp M3...am I missing something here?

    p.s. I'm not dissing the m3...magical car, but I thought Porsche faster

  • the porsche is not the 2009 carrera s model! its the old 997 carrera s with 355 hp! and the european version of the m3 has 420 hp! ;-)

  • ya POrsche is faster of course, but the problem here that these cars r Manual, so it depend on how good the driver is.

    i just saw Race but between M3, Carrera s convertables, the Porsche blow the M3.

    its all about the driver in Manual

  • pdk carrera would pass the m3. in fact they did a test with the standard carrera not the s model and it matched the m3 for speed, and passed it on the race track and im a big m3 fan having owned all of them

  • We will see...

  • we will see, because i am one of the few people that has had all these cars. unlike most people on here who just dream

  • you should start all these from 0 (zero) not from like 50kmh because people miss gears some have manual, some have tip or auto. i know the new 997 beats the m3 because i have raced both cars most mornings on my way to work

  • From a roll is better. See my 599 vs CLK63 race and you see why...

  • carrera s pdk will still beat any m3. and would give the m5 a good run for its money.

  • yes the ferrari still beat the clk 63. standing start round a circuit is better. thats what you call racing.

  • I have raced 997 Carrera S (Mk I) many many times. M3 IS the faster car! My M3 is 100% stock. But 997 S Mk II is a different story.... way faster than current M3.

  • I would agree with you on the stock mk1. But with the powerkit its a different story. MK1 which should have had the 380 standard really like the Mk2 has now.

  • I might've seen the same test.

    The standard 09 Carrera (PDK) vs. The m3.

    The Carrera had a 1/4 time of 12.5 and the M3=12.6.

    I think it was C/D.

  • The standard carrera was as fast as v8 m3. The s pulled about 15 car lengths. not bad for 09 carrera only 345 bhp. S is 385bhp

  • funny how the c63 beats the m3 hands down, and the porsche pulled away from the c63. something not right about this. i have raced m3.s in my 997 and each time i was all over them and passed them.

  • That was an M3 COnvertible DKG that raced the 997S.

  • funny that m3 is the same plate as the uprated ecu and exhaust

  • Wrong. Thisone is manual the C63 beatignM3 had DKG.

  • 400+ horse power from 4000cc without a turbo, great engineering.

  • I don't think that m3 is stock. I've seen lots of drags between the c63 and m3 and the c63 always starts to pull away. But the carrera 2s starts to pull away from the c63.

  • This BMW M3 was stock.

  • the porsche killer

  • porsche should have won..bs

  • how can M3 beat C2S and the C63 cant ??? .. C63 is much faster than this M3 !! bullshit !!

  • absolutely right!, im kinda doubting about this tests... bimers always win!!!

  • looool maybe its tuned and they but it as stock ;p loooooool

  • hmm i see this all makes sense now. (sarcasm) since the m3 kills the carrera2s and the carrera beats the rs4 AND the c63 does that mean the m3 would kill the c63 and the rs4? thats ridiculous.

  • M3 can beat the RS4 ... but it have no chance against C63 ... there is something wrong with this videos !! or maybe that c63 has a wrong in it ...

  • the c63 is faster to 60 than the m3.the rs4 is th slowest of the lot. there are tons of videos here to prove it

  • The C63 raced a convertible C2S which is heavier than the regular coupe. That's why the C63 won.

  • I think it was down to the drivers more so than the cars......I am sure I heard the porsche hit the rev limiter at 1:03.

    It would be interesting to match up 2009 Porsche C2S PDK against 2009 BMW M3 DKG.

  • He did indeed hit the rev limiter but he recovered very quickly.

  • Gustav what are the folks up in your neck of the woods saying about the E9x M3 overall at this point?

  • Generally those cars doesn't sell well, but for those who buy it love it. I am thinking of a M3 DKG Sedan myself.

    Have you regtistered on m3e90board?

  • No, I haven't.

    I'd love a white coupe CF roof actually, but u know, where we live I think a modded 335i is much better suited...

    We'll see in 2009...

  • M3 is faster than the carrera S2! this is clearly! M3 has 420 hp! and that's M power!

  • Gustav why did u mention in the video "it was quite equal between the two cars" ? Clearly the M3 destroyed it!

  • It was a friend, not me.

  • The M3 in this video has a Hartge exhaust I believe. Stock vs. Stock the m3 is one or two car lengths quicker at best.

  • Something ain´t quite right with this race because I have done the same race with my M3 E92 against my brothers 997 Carrera 2s (100% stock he bought it new). When we raced from 50-250km/h and 100-250km/h ours cars were very equal every time we raced. The only difference between the two cars were 2-3m at very high speed (235-250km/h) not even close the huge distance in the video.

    Proceed below because max 500 characters

  • (Continuation)

    Is the m3 in the video tuned? Or is there something wrong with my car? My car is 10month old and 21500km so it shouldnt be anything wrong with it. I clocked my car to 14,1sec 50-200km/h and my brothers car to 14,2sec Have someone clocked an m3 E92?

  • this wasnt a fair race for the porsche it was obvious the e92 could take the carrera 2S .. but it was nice :) as always nice video Gustav ;)

  • Thank you! I hope you seen the DVD or HD downlaods :)

  • Gustav, help me understand here. I just searched everywhere for facts on the Carrera 2S and nothing came up for the 997. Not even on Porsche's main website. I know there was a 993 2s though. But in your other video the Carrera S beat the M3 convertible by legnths. What's the story here?

  • 911 Carrera 2S pre faclift it is. Nice car.

    M3 Convertible go beaton because of its weight, almost 350-400 kg heavier than the 911 S Convertible, partly because of the steel roof. On hte other hand the M3 is a great coupe as well and not a flimsy soft top ;)

  • stop racing with the M3 convertible !! most people dont understand that its much heavier than the coupe!

  • Yup!

  • what is this video is all about? i dont get it!

  • Why?

  • i agree- m3 e92 is an engineering masterpiece!!///M POWER!

  • I have an M3 CSL and a friend has a 997 S - on several occasions we have raced and there is absolutely nothing in it at any speed, so i would imagine the E92 will pull ahead of both cars

  • I don't know... Can't trust youtube... but I'll definately take an E46 M3 CSL over the

    E92 M3 and a 997S over CSL but that's just me.

  • on the straight, these cars are absolutely equal,but get on a track and you'll have problems to keep up with the 997S.

  • that can't be a S 997..maybe a regular 325hp 997..have raced both cars and a 997 S will walk away from the E92 M3

  • yep, i agree

  • Agreed, a 997s should be very equal or walk the E92 M3 even on high end as I have raced both with an E60 M5.

  • It wont.

  • Is the 997 modified with the performance pack (380hp)?

  • @M5BOARDDOTCOM :are the cars on ur board modified? reason for asking is that i watched what the E92 M3 does 2 a RS4..but when friends of mine raced ..it was very close..

  • i wish to see a m6 vs an R8 can u get that?

  • lol no need to see it, R8 will get spanked!

  • even though the m has more power the porsche is a better car over all.the carrera 4s is faster then the r8 by audi,so this race doesn't make too much scence.

  • M3 E92 is a better car i got one!

  • Haha good one,

    Nice comment from the penut gallery... maybe on your scalextrix set the 911 beat the bmw... but not in real life

  • The BMW M3 is faster than the 911 2S (997), we have tried it.

  • Gustav,

    Im very happy to see this haha, makes me feel better about the car... especially after it lost to that Outlandishly quick V2 Vishnu/Exhaust/FMIC 335i

  • Thank you :)

  • Keep watching these staged videos to stay happy... but when you come across a carrera s on the road

    you won't see the same outcome as I already have...

  • Quite equal between the 2 cars?  What race was that driver watching? LOL

  • surprise,surprise, the car with more bhp won,

    what sense does a Dragrace make?

  • The same sense a long staright stretch or slight corner does on Nordschleife or another longer track.

  • i like to watch your videos, mostly because of the sound and the looks of the cars, but the result is always kinda obvious, while on a race track it mostly depends on the driver skills who wins(I saw a 200bhp car win vs a 300bhp car on the NS, for exemple)

  • Agreed.

    To support my videos you can buy the DVD, search for "gtboard" on Amazon.

    Gustav

  • I honestly thought they would be about even. My dads car would get smoked then. Fuck

  • Yes!

  • This doesn't relate to this video at all, but from a dead start in an e39 m5, to get a really good 0-60 time, at how many rpm's do you need to have it at in order to take off. And in that, do you leave the dsc off or on?

  • Go to m5board dotcom and ask :D And YES DSC off!

  • They're comparing prices...The 911 turbo(997)is literally twice the price as the e93 m3, so they used the non turbo Carrera s close or at least relative pricing.

  • "Literally" twice the price. You may want to check that, my friend.

  • In Australia the Bmw M3 starts for $157,000 (coupe) in Australia the M3 is almost fully loaded with stuff standard and the price of the porsche 911 turbo is $334,400 standard and you have to option everything.So that is a difference of $177,400 with adds up to even more then twice the price of an Bmw M3 and even the Carrera S is $220,000 and as you can see on video slower as well as it has the same issue with options as the turbo.Don't get me wrong Porsche is a good car but it is not worth it.

  • the M3 has 65bhp more, thats like taking the 997Turbo vs the M3, guess who wins....

  • yes but the 911 is much lighter than the m3. and the turbo is way more expensive and alot faster

  • Yeah and stick a nice big turbo underneath that M3's V8 and the 911 Turbo is smoked so easy it wouldn't be worth racing.

  • In a straight line the BMW is clearly faster, but on a road with twists and turns the porsche would be faster since it has a better chassis

  • True, a 997S is faster on the track and Nordsshleife shows that.

  • I went on a drive day with porsche and the driving instructor said to me that you can't go over 180km/h around a corner in a 911 because of the engine being right at the back otherwise you will lose it and most likely kill your self.

  • LOL. Kind of depends what corner it is...

  • lol it took BMW 3 damn years to get to it lol do one with 997 Turbo :) and we will see who will laugh

  • The 997 C2S is underpowered and overpriced

    Porsche needs to react now and offer a better product

    We are not in the 80's anymore !

  • LOL harsh.

  • u clearly havnt driven it. Only a fool would call the Porsche a bad product. They are at another market from the M3. I do agree the 911s for bang in a line lack behind the RS4, M3, C63 however on a track they still take the cup. Id ONLY buy the 911 Turbo.

  • The E92 M3 has been often compared to the 997 GT3, not the 997 C2S -- The 997 C2S is clearly underpowered and overpriced, not a bad product ! Porsche needs to improve their products...

  • Hey Gustav,

    How is the M3 to drive compared to the 911 2S?

    I know both cars are good, magazines say that 911 comes out on top by far, but what does a normal person say with a realistic take on things?

    If it was your money, what would you buy and why?

  • I would by a BMW M3 Sedan 7 speed DKG which is superiour in all aspects than a 911 C2S except pure track use.

  • nothing like the M3 CSL on track dont u agree Gustav?

  • Ill take the 911 anyday over the BMW

  • ANd loose versatility and the power ;)

  • Thanks for the video. Yesterday I beat a brand new CTS-V all the way to 100mph with my 96 M3 having only minor mods. It was great! A 3.2L beating a 6.0 liter that's 12 years newer. Oh and I've got 150K miles on mine lol. BMW baby! UDM

  • Sure!

    Gustav

  • ///M POWER!!!!!!!!!!

  • dude fuck horcepower it's a 911 whit a turbo

  • Sorry?

  • That just feels good but not fair

  • Anyway the carrera has about 70hp less if it is the base S model, or 40hp less if it is the "Porsche Power Kit" S version.

    So I'm not surprised with the M3 beating it in a rolling start race.

    Maybe the 997 could win in a 0-120mph run,or at least it would be much closer.

  • This one does not have the €12 000 optional Powerkit X51.

  • I suppose your BMWs don't have speed limiters like u.s. spec BMWs at 155mph. Would love to see the e92 M3 go up against the base C6 since there are plenty of them around..

  • Both hot cars either way mate! Very VERY nice cars!

  • Thanks.

  • They have limiter but it is not exactly 155 mph and not 155 mph indciated either.

  • Its funny people asume because somthing is fast on paper its faster. Not always the case! Iv beaten a Ferrari 360 on a few runs a while back in my M3. Main reason being it was a manual 360! Also the M5 vs Lambo they are at speed - so the Lambos 0 - 62 time (its edge) dosnt count for much on the speed run.

  • Exactly. Some people are expert at magazineracing.

  • I'm a BMW enthusiast, but please stop making BMW faster than they are in real life. In the other video I see the e60 M5 beating the e92 M3 by 8-10 cars and in this video i see the e92 m3 beating the 911s by 8-10 cars. That would make the e60 M5 dusting the 911s by 16-20 cars! now that's unreal! I know bcause I have an E60 M5 and ran against a friend's standard 911s from 40-140mph and managed to beat him by about 4 car lengths.

    Please keep it real as no one would like to hear BMW being overated

  • Get real. Why would I make this video any different from others.

    Again, these are up to 160-170 mph indicated, speeds which are not very common to compare / race at.

    But I'm used to defending my videos :)

  • slightly faster?? there was no "slightly" about it... 997 got munched in that clip...

  • I drive the Porsche in this video and in higher speeds the M3 was slightly faster.

  • I can confirm that he was the driver. Thank you for chiming in.

  • This is Bullshit, I dont beleive it.

  • Yes, I know! But here is something that's even harder to believe, US-spec 911s don't come with Limited-slip diff, except GT2, GT3 and Turbo!

    Sad isn't it.

  • Me neither...Guys i thought your races were prety fair but this is just fake...Dont try to make the bmw faster than it is...Cuz i have seen this tendence in other videos too...I mean it cannot outrun the 2s...seriously if your dvd is with inda races than i guess only the bmw fans would buy it...Its not fair guys

  • These cars have the same stats tho.. whys it so unfear. Same 0 - 100 times. The Porsche would take the M3 on a track aparently but The M3 is a 400bhp V8.. why wouldnt it pull away on a stght like this!

  • Exactly!

  • We did one error here: started filming too late.

    Why would not 420 HP outrun 355 HP?

  • The ONLY reason would be if the M3 is a bit of a porker compared to the Carrera, but their power to weight ratios are nearly identical, so the extra torque of the V8 should give it an edge at speed. I don't know why everyone thinks this is so "fake."

  • I agree.

  • Power/Weight ratio are nearly identical... But I believe there are other factors as well like gearing, aerodynamic, etc.. Kind of like the other video on M5/M6 Board... where the 996 GT3rs vs the Gallardo with simlar weight and the gallardo having about 25% more power still couldn't outrun the porsche in a straight line. Perhaps thats one of the reasons why ppl think this is fake.

  • Yes. Also, people beleive a manual 2004 Gallardo 500 HP is like a 520 HP Gallardo with E-Gear; it's not and that orange Gallardo was not the fastest we ran. But all 500 HP Gallardos have been very similar; about even with the BMW M5 V10.

  • I have to agree... This is staged.. I;m a BMW fan also, used to own a M3 myself a great car no doubt but come on guys... no way the E92 M3 can pull on a 911 n/a like that even at high speed. I own a 911 n/a & my brother owns the e60 m5 and he couldn't even pull me as far as this M3 could up to 150+.. this is fake...

  • Staged? Sure... Thats why we do all these runs, to fake them :) An M5 will leave a 911 S in the dust.

    So lets ask YOU a question that know it all: how would a certain 430 HP M5 E39 do against this very Porsche? Its a little heavier car than the M3 but

    30 HP extra from headers.

  • Ok, not denying that an M5 won't dust a 997s... because i'm sure it will. could care less about the e39 M5 don't have any experience with it.. Was referring to the E60 M5... apparently This video shows that the E92 m3 Pulled away from the 997s much farther than the E60 m5 could...Not a know it all... just speaking from experience.. Of course theres all these other factors with driving error but very unlikely with SMG tranny. this is fake...

  • Have you seen the BMW M5 E60 Touring vs M3 E92 video? I beleive no... That video the M5 pulls alot more than the 911S.

    You are fake.

  • The M5 pulls hard on the M3 - Even the E92 M3. Iv seen it done.

  • Well I have driven it and published it and yes it does.

  • What makes this so difficult to believe? The power:weight ratio of these is very, very close, so a straight line contest is bound to be neck and neck. The GT3, however, would be a different story altogether. Remember, these two cars are class competitors in ALMS.

  • Very true!

  • You should.

  • woah.

  • Yes ;)

  • It's amazing, because I test drove a 997 carrera s at my local dealer, and was quite amazed by the urgency of it's engine. The fact that the e92 m3 is quite clearly faster, just helps to augment my enthusiasm for BMW's.

  • Drive the new BMW M3 V8. Not only 300 minutes. Drive it hard for 24 hours, then you will love it. I used uo 6 tanks of fuel just driving around randomly. It is not the fastest in the straight line but it is lovely to drive all out with M Dynamic mode; in the dry, in the wet. I had so much fun driving the 6-speed manual BMW M3 E92.

  • I test drove the new M3. Around turns it did feel light and was a blast.

    But the lower end torque was not as fauthful as my RS4, and full throttle at lower speeds left me with wheelspin.

    It barely cornered better than my RS4, I kid you not.

  • How does the M3's handling compare to the 997s?

  • Comparable, but you are comaring a true sportscar with a 3-series, not totally fair.

  • Gustav, i Guess this is a Base 991 carrera S with 355hp right? , the Carrera S with the powerpack 380hp( i guess you guys have it as well over thee in europe) Must be a closer Race.

  • Exactly., It has not the X51 optional Factory Powerkit.

  • we are waiting the R8 to be killed

  • It will :D

  • were there 2 passengers in each car?

    also why dont we see the start of the race, maybe the M3 got a jump?

  • True, we missed on that part.

  • were there 2 passengers in each car?

    also why dont we see the start of the race, maybe the M3 got a jump?

  • Yes, two in each cars.

    Yes, that was an error from our side, we started recording too late.

  • Dont you Just Love ///M3 Sprint and than sprint some more

  • Similar & equal... maybe against gt3.. what do u reckon Gustav? have you made a comparison yet?

  • GT3 would definetly win.

  • 997 that is.

  • GT3 is much lighter it's not a fair race!. The 911 Carrera S with powerpack will have the same power/weight ratio as the M3

  • Could be!

  • Never mind the p/w/ratio, even though 997s was scaled 156kg over spec. What is more interesting is that, according to calculations, when u compare peak turning force at a wheel to 997 gt3, is that e92 M3 turns rear wheels in 2nd gear with 9400N peak force to 8500N of gt3, 3rd gear: 6200N to 5975N, 4th: 4761N to 4712N, 5th gear: 3972N to 4100N, and 6th gear peak force is 3498N to 3680N for the 997 GT3. Sure GT3 holds its "peak" force longer (over RPM band) but is still an interesting comparison.

  • It is. Thank you. The M3 with it's 8400 rpmk redline and manual transmission felt liek a great advantage when driving, especially at the higher gears in terms of acceleration.

  • gistav. how does the e92 M3 do against your e39 M5. The new m3 has some serious pull, and I have on doubt it can pull on the 911s, though i was surprised it was by so much.....

    can we see the 335 V2 against the e92 please...

  • I can say my M5 did fien against the 997C, that is for sure.

    The BMW M3 was more even and I was impressed at 260.270 km/h the acceleration of the BMW M3. The 8400 rpm redline is lovely at 5th gear; hits the top speed limiter there but it has a very nice pull those last km/h.

  • Things would be very different from a standing start, but the M3 will again most likely slowly catch up at higher speeds.

  • I would agree.

  • what a lie.

    the porsche carrera S would stay with the new M3. I test drove the new M3 today, and found that it doesn't take corners much faster than my RS4. Maybe 3mph.

  • Shows how much you know.....

  • THen show it for us...

  • I love the new BMW M3.... Just an amazing car...

  • It is a very nice car.

  • I must say though I am going to have to buy the M6. When my dad brought one home i fell in love.. Haha

  • The BMW M3 E92 cannot (and will not LOL ;) ) touch the BMW M6 in straigh line acceleration.

  • Oh yea i know. My dad works for BMW so i get to drive them all the time. and the M6 is my fav.

  • Hey, I guess that Porsche is faster than an RS4...
