No power mods on M3?

Do you keep it in D or manually shift?

Not really. Just Dinan muffler with 2nd cat delete. So maybe 5-10hp.
Kept it in manual and shift manually. D didn't work very well in my opinion on the Bmw dct.

Cool data. Your 991 looks awesome. E9X is so capable with some pretty basic mods.

Which is most fun?

On the street it's hard to say. Maybe the Vette at times due to its power which is always there and just relentless, so exciting at least. I'm not an attention whore but let me say the vette got more thumbs up and positive comments than any car I ever owned. Even had a motorcycle cop pull up next to me to say something about the fact I'm driving it to slow! Hahah. Every week I would get at a comment the porsche due to it's sportiness, compactness and feel is truly enjoyable and the M3 for its playfulness and exhaust sound.

On track the 991 and M3. Vette lacked feedback which is most important to me, that's the fun part to me.
The 991 is awesome in how it brakes and accelerates out of turns. Truly fun on track, especially the technique required to drive it. Keeps it super fun
The M3 I loved. Could drift it all day. Lose it at 90mph and not sweat about it cause it was so easy to control in a drift. I loved my e92m3.

Nice all three of your cars look amazing! Good job on actually taking them to the track and not being garage queens

[Saandiaago]

Nice stable of cars you've got there and good to see that they were used outside of LA traffic. Love the pic of your 991 near the Beverly Center. I used to live right around the corner from there.

Makes sense. 911's have amazing grip out of corners.

As above, great to see you using all of them properly.

Thanks. Just like sharing results!

Very interesting!

Did you get rid of the ZR1? That thing must be a monster

Yes. Sold it. It definitely was. But super chill for daily use actually.

Nice list of cars. Love your GTS...I'm actually thinking about getting a 991 GTS myself. It seems like such a good package. It's like a mini GT3 with a back seat.

[Petros]

ZR1 is a beast!!!!! But that Porsche is quite disappointing. Maybe you weren't pushing as hard. But it doesn't seem to be any better than an M3 with some basic mods. I would have thought the performance gap between them was a lot more than that. Maybe wolfinwolfsclothing has an explanation for that.

Nice post and comparisons!

Great post. I've be thinking about getting aero and it look like it's worth it.

Makes the car a lot easier to drive IF you know how to set it up properly. Instills confidence b/c the car just sticks through high speed corners.

Nice comparison.

I just need a removeable wing, so I still drive the car around town.

that 911 looks amazing.

nice comparison and vids, all 3 great cars

Just wondering what's your verdict of using a non GT3 991 as a dual use car (track and DD). Especially comparing to a well sorted E9x like yours.

[Performance Eurowerks]

Awesome data collection and shared feedback.

Did you ever get a chance to do some laps in a 991 GT3? Curious how they would compare to our 991 GTS 7MT.
