BMW in 57 degree weather, that said you will stand by your claims as will I, I think power to weigt ratio will prevail, but I know BMW's always post faster times than tested, perfect example is the 335, great performing car.

I will wait for hard core data, a comparo done by a reliable source, or when I drive one.
I hope to encounter one at Moroso and reserve my final thought then, I think that will really be my deciding factor.

I agree, many things vary, drivers, pavement, temps, humidity, altitude, variations in cars, tires, air pressure, etc.

but I doubt the two will ever be mag tested back to back as most dont shop a two door vs. a sedan.

On a road course or drag stip the M3 and C6 are sooooo close that the driver will determine which is faster. Which IMO gives the M3 the win being that its a 4/5 seat sports sedan as opposed to a dedicated 2 seat sports car.
