To try to keep the prices as tested approximately the same, they used a fully loaded M3 vs. a base 911, although the fully loaded M3 was still slightly less expensive.
Some interesting notes:
C&D said the M3 handled better, and it beat the 911 around the track at Laguna Seca by over 1.5 seconds (1.43.84 for the M3 vs 1.45.46 for the 911). In addition, the BMW beat the 911 in the lane change test (70.4 mph vs 68.2 mph) and in breaking from 70 mph (157 ft vs 158 ft).
They tied 0-60 at 4.1 S, but he 911 inched it out in the quarter mile (12.6 s vs 12.5 s) and the 911 had slightly better times to speeds above 100 mph, beating the M3 by 0.7 sec to 150 mph (25.9 s vs 25.2 s).
The results of C&D's testing gave me a new appreciation for the M3. Given these two options in this price category, imo you definitely made the right choice.
If you ever get some extra cash to burn and decide to throw forced injection on your new ride, keep us posted.
Do you miss the TT 350Z, or just glad to be rid of the headaches (well most of them it looks like)?
I dont miss it! Because even stock its driving freaking crazy.. I just want this thing out of my life...
My M3 is def a lot quicker than my Z in the twisties.. I'll show you during Zdays.. Its got soo much grip and you never run out of gear 8.5K redline V8 is so sick! It revs faster than anything I have ever owned (except my bike).
My Z would spank the **** out of it in a straight line, but 12.3 1/4 with street tires, hell I had to put two turbos on my z to get a little better than that. This thing will go 11'9 with some DR's.. Not bad for a stock car!
Anyone have a stock upper plenum that wil fit my revup??? The one I have has taps for gauges and crap.. Dealers dont like that.

I did all I had to do was tightened that hose with the clamp and problem fix.
The jose that goes to the fuel assembly right?? It went away this morning.. I have been driving it around to burn fuel up so I can install the new rubber Oring..
