Unsurprising. I love launch control in Porsches. Brake, accelerator, go!

M3 are defo quick in the roll, anything from 100mph to max it pulls very hard.

A more fair test would be a 911 GTS vs M3, or Cayenne.

Not sure about that.

To be fair, you'd have to couple it with the 4s.

AWD on 911 doesn't make that much difference if the surface is dry. The weight is already over the rear wheels.

How would you know? How many AWD and RWD 911's do you have? I have a GT3 and a Turbo S and can tell you there is a MASSIVE difference in off-the-line traction.

Having a car that starts off in 2nd gear vs a mid-engine car is an interesting race.

A base 911 with zero options is $102K.

The M3 is one of the best if not the best sports sedan on the market. Jack of all trades.

If you like the looks and need 4 doors it's hard to beat for all around use

There is a massive overall difference between GT3 and Turbo S and that is translated to the off-the-line performance.

On the other hand, Carrera S and Carrera 4S are almost two identical cars (so is the performance), and actually in some metrics the 4S is slightly inferior to S model, including track performance!
