E92 M3-0-60 in 4.4 sec and 1/4 in 12.9@111

So the verdict is that the new M3 is slower than the 997S while the second is at the end of it's life-circle and waiting for the benefits of Direct Injection to make it even faster.
All the technology in the motor goes wasted with such a heavy outfit. THe car is no longer as beautiful as it was (which for many is quite a reason to buy and drive daily).
Kinda reminds me of a fat chick cutting her hair to lose half a pound with that CF roof on top of a 3600 pound body...

why not use VF Engineering SC on a base 911 and now for +$10k you have a car that will be almost impossible to touch. I mean a well equipped 911 is about $80k or so and with the SC now you are at $90k. An rs4 with the SC is about the same price - mid $90k's.
is Ruf that much better than VF?
