Modified Porsche 997 GT3 vs modified M3 F80 on the ring.

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I saw this video on YouTube over a week ago and couldn't find it here. I'm surprise that nobody has posted it yet. Hmm? Enjoy.

Specs translated by fellow member nicknaz:

The GT3 has a "clubsport" package with a lightly modded engine (+25hp) and 60kg weight reduction.

517hp and 700N-m in the M3 and a modified suspension.

damn, that M3 pulls away on the straights

x.shell · 06-13-2015, 04:54 PM

Good driving. The dude in the Porsche is bouncing like crazy in his seat. You even hear the throttle undulating with his bounce.

All I could say about that M3... dat ass.

Does not surprise me and I own both. The M3 has so much torque and just pulls!

TonySCV · 06-13-2015, 06:57 PM

The M3 driver seemingly knows the track VERY well. I assume the 997 driver does as well but it's easier to play follow the leader.

You are welcome.

Torque is a beautiful thing.

Hedoniste · 06-14-2015, 01:20 AM

Notice that both cars are modified. Nice vid and nice drive skills btw!

MFNATIK · 06-14-2015, 01:47 AM

One thing that is for sure is even Porsche's best can hang with an M3 these days lol

The mod lists are in web links on youtube but are in german. Can anyone post the translations here?

I used google translate and on the f80 and it seems like it has a tune 517 (crank?) hp, height adjustable spring kit and slightly wider tires.

Gt3 is a "clubsport" version (whatever that means) with 60kg weight reduction

Any native speakers able to help out?

That was a good watch, thanks for posting. Loved the split video and the speed/ g indicators.

ewr777 · 06-14-2015, 12:07 PM

OMG My M3 can do that. Wow.

damnitBobby · 06-14-2015, 12:35 PM

The M3 seemed to be running spacers and a slightly lowered suspension.

Interested in hearing the owner's feedback compared to the OEM suspension.

Was just about to post that. Amazing performance by that F80.

Maddict3 · 06-16-2015, 05:45 PM

nice

rr006rbc · 06-16-2015, 06:02 PM

Seems like the M3 is significantly higher in HP. it shouldn't be pulling THAT hard on the lighter chassis GT3

BwoodBMW · 06-16-2015, 06:05 PM

looks like some pretty solid driving by both cars... P-car could hold more speed through corners but M pulled hard on the straights. Let them both go all out and the GT3 definitely wins still.
