His car is 2950lbs, S54 engine (same as E46 M3), coilovers, camber plates and Pirelli Corsas.
The 997S is standard engine (NO X51) with GT3 control arms and Toyo RA1s (I guess my car is at least 3200#s as it is well-optioned).

Interesting. I've driven both cars at Texas Motorspeedway and can tell you they aren't even close to each other. The M3 bops around in the corner, incapable of the strong acceleration out of the corner as the S. In addition the M3 feels so sedany compared to the the S that it's a joke. Make no mistake, the M3 is an incredible sedan, but not a sports car. What do you expect for the money?
