0-60, 0-100, or 0-150 dont really matter except on paper. how fast can the m5 get from exit to braking zone of the next turn compared to the 991s? i would take a 100 less horsepower for a 1000 less pounds any day. equally quick and more tossable. even better just the 1000 less pounds. my m3 at even 3000lbs would be amazing.

yes but a lack of weight makes up for a lack of power. it figures into the equation. the rule of thumb i learned was each 100lbs is good for a tenth in the quarter mile.

I know that. The power to weight ratio is in favor of the M5 though. There is also a formula that eludes me at the moment that would give a very good idea of trap speed. plus, PDK makes a huge difference. In fact, all DCT trannys make a huge difference.

The M5 sits 4 adults in comfort and their golf bags too while scaring the crap out of them at the same time. Why are we even comparing these 2 cars? Congrats to the OP on his purchase though i felt exactly the opposite of what he felt when i test drove the 991 C2S as a replacement for my M3. At the end of the day, go with whatever floats your boat. We spend an arm and a left nut buying these cars so the car must satisfy u!! I will re-visit the 991 once they release their GT3 variant.

Several publications have reported similar trap speeds. There's no other car manufacture that can produce those kinda times with that kinda horsepower. Even my gt3 with 90 less hp felt faster than my 525 horsepower v10 r8.

And the M3 I believe carries some competitive speed at higher speeds vs the 911. I'm always impressed w/ the pull from 100 - 155 mph in the ///M.

M3 vs 991 CS2

Have a great back-up DD, and want a car just for fun? Then hard to go past the 991 CS2.
