The question was which is quicker...the times I posted show them side by side at 100mph...apparently that counts for raping for some people. I'm not that bothered that the 997 C2S will slowly start to pull away after 100mph, under 100mph is where cars spend 99.9% of their time.

That is not even close, even though the M3 get a lead when they start.
997.2 C2S runs 1/4 @ 11.7s
Same on the track - not even close.

Track ...............................M3 (E92) -----997 Carrera S (2008 facelift)
Tsukuba ..............................1:05.8----- 1:05.3
Hockenheim Short .................1:14.3------ 1:13.4
Autozeitung test track........... 1:40.1 -------1:39.1
Balocco................................ 2:56.5------ 2:55.5

Camden Airport.................... 1:13.40------ 1:11.69
Anglesey National................. 1:03.8-------- 1:03.2
The 997 has the edge on the track thats true (although I would have expected a much bigger gap on all tracks not just some.) but its what you would want from a more focused car that comes alive on the track, sadly its at the expense of a poor ride on anything less than smooth pavement as well as annoying NVH....

Owned 911s for 20 years, (did some track days) the majority of that time in turbos.
