Longboarder · 11-20-2020, 12:51 PM

How is the turbo faster than the m8 ? Im new to the Porsche side of things a total rookie ...... I've heard quite a few Porsche owners say 911 is superior to m6 at the time and now m8 in what speed ? Handling ?

Prob fairly close in all performance categories stock. But the 991 is engineered to be soooo much faster but dumbed down so once you start even lightly modding the reliability is still amazing and the car becomes an absolute monster. 3,600 vs 4,300 lbs is a huge difference too.

With slicks on stock suspension, people are chasing down cup cars on the track with the 991 Turbo S. With a couple bolt on parts my Turbo S accel is pretty crazy consistent 146-147 mph 1/4 mile and even on the street with street tires 0-60mph in low 2's.

On the other hand we are seeing a number of the BMW F90's blow up with just tunes on e30 gas and downpipes.

The thing that is most impressive about the 991 is the increased interior seating space vs the M8. Although the M8 has a larger trunk and fold down seat option so i can at least fit my surfboards inside. Cant with the 991.

Both. 911 Turbo is mind-bendingly fast and handles on rails. The 911 and M8 are two different markets. M8 = Incredibly fast and capable GT car, 911 = Incredibly fast and comfortable sports car. Both are great cars at the end of the day, but different priorities.

I only drive stock cars and just cosmetic mods.
Two reasons not really into tuning already a 600hp brand new or few years old car I do not track and second I have a new ride addiction every 6 months which I really need to work on big time being single and 34 it's ok but with a future wife kids and family I will be divorced and living under a bridge or unless I up my salary by 100k more only time will tell.

So stock cars not a big difference 911 turbo being lighter so maybe handling a bit better ?

Its not just the numbers. 991 is a visceral experience and you have much more visibility in and out of the car where the M8 feels like a boat in comparison and visibility is compromised and confidence much lower at high speeds.

Stock for stock a 992 Turbo S is quite a bit faster than the M8 in a straight line. See the tests. 2.2 to 60 and very low 10's in 1/4 mile with a much higher trap speed

Obviously being after a different segment it's handles better also

I'm going to go on turo.com and try to rent a turbo 911 for a weekend and drive it never driven a turbo. 2018 911 targa 4s is what I've driven handles immaculate but slow compared to m3 c63 and def m5/m6.

Jdubble07 · 11-20-2020, 04:31 PM

At least for a few more months, a 2018 Mercedes SL450.

I can't afford a brand new turbo on lease . That will be my mortgage payment lol and definitely can't afford to buy a new that's a 200k car . 2015-2017 turbo fits in my price range 115-130k to buy . Unless I unload all my cars and just lease a 2020 turbo which I won't .

I meant even test driving a 2020 C4S or C2S. Still 3 seconds to 60 and 11.1 -11.2 1/4 mile

They're fast and fun

M8 is great as well depends what you're looking for they're very different driving experiences
