Default Carrerra vs M3 vs S4

I have read alot of topics on hear, you guys compare these cars all the time. I own a 996 and S4, I have driven an M3 many times, all of these are manuals.

The 996 is quite abit better IMO, all around a better car. The M3 is quicker than an S4 in a straight line but that's where it ends IMO, people always compare the M3 to a 996, not a chance, the 996 walks all over an M3.

For an everyday car the S4 is the car to have, however, if you want a rush the 996 is way ahead of both, the M3 is a distant second followed closely by the S4.

Default If the M3 is a distant 2nd, then I guess that means the S4 is a pathetic 3rd? ;-)

Must be nice...

Compared to a 996, yes. But the S4 is a wonderful car.

Default That's the key...

I passed a Turbo and GT3 twice at the track last weekend. They should be able to keel me.
