Before my '08 e92m3, I had a '04 c5z06. If I didnt need the space, I'd own a vette. I really dont like the interior in the c6, looks very cheap to me, and I dont really like how they programmed out the rawness in the new car compared to my c5. I have a bit of experience on track with the c6z06 (friend and I used to swap cars), but I havent been in the GS yet. What is it like compared to the z06? I do like the look of the grey/maroon stripe..
I am actually strongly considering buying back my c5 (I know where it is), and then doing a few K in work to it for fun..
But the M3 is a really nice car. Its one of those cars you just need to own for a while to fully appreciate. Its a nice place to be, continues to delight, and even though its not perfect at any one thing, it is really good at most things. Agree with most of your comments except maybe low end grunt. I know it doesnt have the brutal feel the vettes have and it may seem down on power but its actually quite fast if you watch the needle slide past 60, the car just hides it. I modded my exhaust to get some of that excitement back, and it does the trick for sure.
A lot of people complain about the idrive, and I can see why, but its not that bad. You learn the shortcuts over time and I do like the nerd factor of it.
The vette has character, and the m3 is just really well executed. Whatever way you go, you're not making a mistake. Both are really great cars in their own way and worth the 50K.
