almost a week with my baby ...
Thought I write a comparison between the 997S and my daily driver, E46 M3.
The 997S is unbelievable, makes the M3 handle like a family sedan/coupe. I remember about a year ago, while stopped at a light, saw this 993 zoom up from the opposite end catching to make an yellow. He must've been doing 50-60 easily. As he approached, I didn't see him slow down ... I thought to myself, oh crap. Amazingly, he cuts into the corner and took it as if it was NOTHING! My eyes went
!!!
Now that I know. OH MY GOD this thing handles SOOOOOO GOOD, how does Porsche do the magic they do?!
Engine:
The 3.8 in the 997S sounds sooooo good. W/ PSE it growls at you! The M3 has an aftermarket titanium exhaust on it, but at certain rpms the "rasp" is still there. Never really liked it, an engine should sound like an engine, not a weed wacker.
The M3 is a SMG and 997S is a 6MT ... all I have to say about that is, both have their advantages: the 6MT is more fun, SMG is more convenient.
The M3 is an awesome daily driver, plenty of room in the back, coworkers can all squeeze in and goto lunch. The 997S is a weekend car, call up my girl and go for a ride type of car.
Both amazing machines. I can't ask for more.
