+ Less body roll than my M on Swift springs
+ Perfectly weighed clutch
+ So much more grip coming out of corners
What I thought was better on the M3
- Engine noise, no comparison
- I thought my friend was exaggerating, but between 2-4k, that 911 really isn't all that fast. I'm sure it's just deceptive, but it feels like a dead spot, then past 5k it pulls like crazy.
- Even with center muffler delete, the car is very quiet

Yeah, the 2k-4k power thing is likely due to either the torque curve or the way the variable valve timing is set on the 911. Especially if it pulls like a freight train after a certain RPM.
The weight distribution on the 911 likely aids the superior traction our of corners.
Is your friend's 911s a Targa?
