I agree... NSXs aren't that powerful

I guess porsche does make faster cars than bmw but thats all porsche makes(not that theirs anything wrong with that) but bmw makes every thing except vans and trucks. I wish BMW would make some more super cars to compete with the GT2. Thats all BMW is missing
X5vs Porsche thinge
M3vs Boxter
Z8vs 911
?vs GT2
So right now BMW dosnt make anything that can compete with porsches GTs (McLaren dosnt count) so I will conceded Porsche does make the best german performance car
For now at least

What does everyone think of the new Porshe Cayenne 480Hp. I think it is the coolest SUV ever built. If I had $80,000 and needed an SUV I would go for it.

Aztek gets my vote! The designer of this piece of crap must be as dumb as BMW's new designer Chris Bangle who designed the new 7-series.. That is SO ugly IMO

But lets compare the car that do match up

M3 vs Boxster

M3
$54,500
333hp
262lb-ft
0-60=4.8

Boxster
$51,600
258hp
229lb-ft
0-60=5.60

So IMO M3 owns here

Z8 vs 911 tubo

Z8
$131,500
394hp
368lb-ft
0-60=4.30

911
$69,365
315hp
273lb-ft
0-60=6.2

Im far too lazy to compare the Cayenne vs X5 so if you match them up I would pick BMW. You might not agree with my match ups if you would like to post your own go ahead. i was going to match up the Z4 vs the Boxster but decided to compare the Boxster S vs the M3.

Okay, the M3 is the top model 3 series, which is the BMW low end model. Let's compare that to the Boxster S, which is more fitting. The Boxter is all about handling, as all low end Porsches are. On a race track, it will eat a M3 for lunch, despite the power advantage of the BMW.

Those figures are for a 911 Carrera, or maybe for a 964 turbo...
The new Turbo makes 415hp, does 0-60 in 4.1, and 0-100mph in 9.4 seconds. The 1/4 flashes by in 12.4 seconds, and the car tops out at 190mph.

Considering the limited run of the Z8, I think a comparison between it and the GT2 would be more fitting, but a 996 TT still owns the Z8

The Cayenne is much faster than the X5, and better handling. The Z4 is a much better choice to compare to the Boxster, but the Boxter beats it in every performance measure, so I guess that's why you picked the M3.

But the M3 and Boxster S are comparably priced automobiles.

A boxter and a corvette are about the same price too... and the vette would dominate

Are you sugesting then that I compare the M3 to the GT2? Boxster S and M3 is just fine or the Z4 vs the Boxster.

you could compair whatever you want to compair. It's more fair to just compair bottom liner to a bottom liner, vice versa for upper models.

Well, that's in the US.
For the price of a Corvette, base model, I can get a Carrera 4S.
The Boxster S is as expensive as a V6 Camaro.

Edit: S
