If memory serves me right, I believe the E92 is faster in some areas. I did research on both these vehicles when I was shopping around. The differences are very small though fyi....

Not again?! Was it OCBen that said, "The Search Key is your friend". (My apologies if it was someone else.)
My answer: Whichever car has the better driver.

the R8 is often compared to the TT. When compared to the C2S, most of the stuff i've seen is that the R8 is faster around a track, due to its mid engine placement and AWD. In a straight line the 2 are similar w/ the possibility of the C2S being marginally quicker.
There was a Car and Driver track time review where the m3 performed well.
If you are a #'s guy then consider the GT models.

Pretty much the same. 911 feels faster to me though. Probably the weight difference.

the question should be defined further. Are you inquiring about on track performance? or on a red light to red light straight line? Tip or manual? PDK with launch control if its the street race? All these factors will significantly alter the answers you get.
Ultimately it boils down to the seat of the pants. Drive them both and decide which feels faster...

The E92 M3 beats all variants in straight line except the 997.2 PDK "S" Models.
i think if you were racing non S PDK 997.2 and 6speed M3 the PDK would win tho.
