What gen? I really like the 997. I would have to get a turbo. I'd love that beast with a simple tune and exhaust.

A 2014 is a 991 body, the 997 is the previous gen and in my opinion the best looking. I would also agree if you get a 911 the turbo is a must because it's such a beast.

If it's a base Carrera then maybe but they are much lighter and have better traction because of the engine on the rear tires. Can't wait to see the video

if it was a turbo i dont think i would stand a chance! haha what really blew me away was how wide the stock tires are on this car. they are 295s! like i said ill take a bunch of pics.

They run a high twelve stock. Op's car is capable of high 11's with the upgraded turbo so it looks pretty much like what I was expecting.

That 911 will rape your 335i on the track, Porches were never ment to be straight line cars.

Not even a M4 could keep up with the new 991.

dude that was a pdk carrera! i have always been a mt guy but after driving that beast i have double thought.... it even has it "stock" where you can just press the break and gas down at the same time and it revs up to 5500 rpm and all you have to do is let go of the break to launch! i love that car! you get so many looks in it too! i got way more videos and track vids too today i will load them up within the next few days after editing... i have a 6mt m sport e92 FBO with stage 1 pure turbo. untuned on map 7... cant wait to get it tuned and really rape some cars!

dude its only a N/A porsche if it was the 911 turbo it would have 210 more horse power! if you ever get a chance to drive one i suggest you do... its literally like a dream to drive it down the infamous wild cat canyon road here in SD! even though it is slower you would not believe the handling diff! its like a whole new world of car in that aspect!

i am right there on it with you here! you are 100% correct... the diff in these cars is night and day i might as well be driving a mini van down the curves compared to the 911. and you also have to remember my car is heavily modded and this is a stock N/A 911 so of course i would expect to rape it in a straight line! lol at the track with him doing the launch control it was a lot closer... i will put up the videos within the next few days... but again, total respect to the 911. i FUCKING LOVE IT!

Well, now that I know the 335 is far from stock, I have a different view of it. I never said I didn't like the Porsche. Just thought it was lame compared to in the video. Stock for stock I bet the Porsche would take it.

What suspension modifications does the 335i have? What wheels and tires? Interested to hear if the night/day handling difference is that great even if the 335i has extensive suspension modifications. (Coil overs, m3 bits, wider tires etc)

the car has the stock M sport suspension and 18" wheels with the stock RFT. but its such a big difference in handling its hard for me to imagine even with a upgraded suspension and great tires that i would be able to beat that car on a road course. i imagine it would drastically cut down the gap between the two cars though if i did haha
