No way, keep the manuals alive! There's nothing comparable to rowing your own gears. Its the MANS way

[ExplosiveOrgasm]

i cant believe i used to subscribe to this mag.. these guys are idiots

[testermanish]

I'd much rather have the 911 even it the M3 is better. The 911 will hold its value much better.

c63 amg is better thtan both....

You can buy a totally equipped M3, including an Individual color and Competition Pack for the price of Carrera Base. You are to choose.

@Jozaaak M3 is a gas guzzler and a Porsche 911 is not, in the federal law any gas guzzler must pay a $3,500 fee if its anything lower than 24mpg

and a Porsche 911 has a name value and its leather is from the best cows from sweeden.

a flat 6 is more practical than a v8, you can do so much on a flat6. its like a exotic tuner car. look at my videos of my porsche 911 i will fucking murder a e92 m3 thats souped up

@Murcielago247

1) M3 is same way "perfectly engineered" as Porsche..

2) 0-60 is for kids, nothing more...

3) M3 is 1600kg, please post me 997.2 carrera which is 1300lbs lighter, please...

4) M3 is cheaper and more practical (it is its purpose to be still a car you can use to drive your kids to scholl and take it to race track on weekends.) You can really use rear seats, in carrera barely kids can fit there.

All you were capable of is present yourself as stupid kid... nothing more

@honadef this is comparing cars not prices. This comparison is shit.

[Murcielago247]

Thumbs up if you think the Porsche 911 997.2 Carrera is a lot better than the E92 M3!

everyone knows Joest Racing will never take a BMW to their race because they know it cant handle as well on the tracks like a Porsche. hells no.

[Murcielago247]

911 is the better car no doubt. this one was a standard trim 911 997.2 Carrera 2

and this is a Bavarian Motor Work Motorsport e92 3 series (Best of what ///M can offer)

If your going to be spending that much money of a high performance car $70k-$90k get a Porsche please, because $5k-$10k wont make any difference because if you're going to buy a car like these you might as well spend enough to get the best, and we all know Porsche is the best of the best of its class.

Porsche=LE MANS CHAMPION!

[Murcielago247]

@honadef get your facts straight. Porsche 911 carrera has a flat 6 engine in the rear so it has massive grip because all the weight distribution is all in the back. its all perfectly engineered by Porsche AG. 911 Carrera can go 0-60 faster than a M3 e92 and has a higher top speed than a e92 M3. so get it right you prick M3 = 1,300lbs heavier.

911= lighter, more torque, higher top speed

get your facts straight you fucking kid,

Porsche = 16 times Le Mans Champion!!! NO 1 WILL EVER BEAT PORSCHE
