Fifth Gear: M3 GTS vs Porsche GT3 RS

[sc_tr0jan_m3]

GT3RS without a doubt.

The GT3RS is cool, but I'm not into cars that hand you your ass!

As if her statement about the RS lacking a stereo and AC matters. These are elective delete options. Both are great cars however.

[Poppin Fresh]

Putting everything on paper and on track aside, I am very impressed at how BMW was able to achieve what most drivers and Porsche drivers call perfection in a proper track/street car in just one attempt. If all goes according to plan, the next F3X M3 platform will be showing us different versions/iterations and perhaps another M3 GTS to match Porsche's next GT3 RS. Good job BMW

The GT3RS handed the M3 it's ass....Wish the GTS was stateside.

[quads]

Awesome!

Now watch it again and notice how low she sits! She can barely look over the dash! How can she see the track? I'd be scared as a passenger too!

[PKumarM3]

m3 is easier to drive, 911 requires more input - been the same story for decades.

people say the 911 when driven properly is more rewarding.

both cars are sensational, but those times are b.s.

the variables are too important:
1. drivers
2. the gt3rs comes w/ ps cups / m3 gts comes with neova ad08s i believe - those cups, when heated up, are faster.

the m3 has always been the form of practicality and sportiness.

RS has 6MT it wins

[Merciphil]

nice review both cars were awesome

[SleepyE90]

Its funny how both cars are no longer for sale

[Davin]

The GTS looked so beautiful around the track. Keeps making me want to strip an M3 for the track!!

[DDS2015]

I like both of them. However, not only can I not drive like that, but the GTS isn't available on this side of the pond either. That coupled with with you can't get new ones of either anymore, and I don't have the money laying around means that my opinion means next to nothing. I would probably stick with the normal M3 though and save myself the extra money. Finally, I don't even have the driving skill to handle a normal M3 over the GTS so it's all a mute point really.

[positiveions]

Personally, I would take the GT3

[Singletrack]

Great video - thanks for posting. Both cars are monsters.

[gasterus]

I choose handling

I was referring to a trusted platform, that will not bite you, when thrown off balance!

Just amazing,Thanks for sharing !

Ooh.. I'm a huge BMW fan, but the 911 just works as a track day car. The big spoiler looks smoother on it, the GTS, while a technical wonder under the hood, looks like an M3 in bold paint and a kinda awkward spoiler. M3 for the streets/weekend track warrior, 911 GT3 as a full time track warrior.
