Dude, your 16. Have you ever touched, seen under/inside, worked on, driven, riden in, or dealt with ANY of the cars you mentioned (CTS-V, 911, X5, 5…) or just e-bench race your way into the conversation?
All those cars are completely different animals, in completely different ways. And he has a 997, not 911.
No offense to Cavy who just picked up the CTS-V… but its a GM. Naturally it has a higher hurdle to jump over, performance, REPEATABILITY, and RELIABILITY ways. Price point proves it, IMO. You buy a BMW because all the little things GM skimped on BMW didnt. Fine and dandy if the stamped control arm caddy, and stamped & spot welded subframed GM cars can keep up or even pass the forged and cast aluminum bits of metal the BMW’s used instead. Enjoy the squeaky bushings in the winter time, the clunks in the suspension after 60K, lack of sound deadening here and there… There is a reason there are a shit ton of aftermarket “better” parts for those platforms, than the BMW cars… they are fixing what the factory failed to do.
Anything can preform in on a track or in a magazine to make a point. When you start dealing with and living with the different ones… the little points jump out.
