gee i would think that the m5 should be ahead before 200 km/h??
since the m5 does the 1/4 mile in 12 flat and the carrera s around what? 12.7?
i just went by a porsche dealership and had a look at the new carrera s. they are beautiful. look sweeter than the 997 in person. IMO
but which is more fun to drive? (m5 or Cs) |
The 991 is more fun! It handles much better and is much much lighter on its feet. Once the bends progress beyond sweepers it's superior.
The m5 forte is as a high speed cruiser and it can handle for a luxury car but it won't stick with the 991 on anything but a motorway.
Latest independent testing in Australia has found the 991 CS faster than the m5 0-100 and 0-200. Although to me they both are very quick.
But the M5 thrust after 200 is superior to the 991.
It seems to me the 991 is extremely capable at being driven at 10/10 and makes use of every last bit of its power as I think the m5 loses a bit due to traction issues.
Both are awesome though!
