technically 911's shouldnt handle like they do cos of that engine way out back but they do  ???

m3's are balanced 50/50 so perfect weight distribution!

Aye, mainly cos Porsche have had 30 years to figure out how to stop the 911 from spitting you off the road if your foot so much as waivers on the power going round a corner. Heaven help you if you tried the brakes in the same situation in an old 911.............

I think it is the most written off sportscar of all time. It has to be, in fact.

GT2's are nice. But tbh, the 911 in Bad Boys > all other 911's. Even without cup-holders :)

Heh thanks, altho I suspect the one in Bad Boys may well be a GT2, in which case we'll call it a draw :)

It's either that or a Turbo S afaik.

I just want to say that the MK3 16V has 30% more power than the 8V so this more than makes up for the extra weight
