bluelines:
Given the similar weight, slight power advantage and every BMW fanboy's obsession with being faster than a 911, I am comparing it to a 991 Carrera S. In this comparison the BMW is 10 seconds slower and I had expected more from the M Division. The last time they managed to build a proper car was with the CSL.
When the Competition Package comes out next year (dealer confirmed this), it should shed a couple more seconds with stiffer/lower suspension and a few more hp. If it comes with R-tires, then a few more sec again.
