The fact that is the Corvette is the best performance car for the money, and I've beating on it and running it in the 1/8 and 1/4 mile time after time, and it is bullet proof, while I have had problems with the BMW's in the past. One thing I must say on the C6 forums, you do have your fan boys also, but most appreciate all performance cars and are more objective in their reviews of other vehicles, and don't bash other vehicles for their idiosyncrasies, and all cars have them. On this site the Fan boys can be easily spotted a mile away. Last edited by spearfisher; 04-15-2008 at 03:20 PM.. |

I'd just like to clear up one major misconception about OHV (cam-in-block) engines. Contrary to popular myth, the OHC dates way back to shortly after the turn of the 20th Century (Fiat, Ferrari, Bentley, Alfa Romeo, etc), whereas the first volume-produced car with an OHV engine was an Oldsmobile with the then-new "Rocket V8"--in 1949.
It is my belief that GM's smallblock LSX is the most well-rounded V8s in existence. In most of the major categories, it does exceedingly well in .. power, size, efficiency, cost, and modability. Go over to Bimmerforums, and you'll see a section called Engine Conversions. "Fair" who owns a BMW chassis shop is currently selling LS1 conversion kits for the E36 3-series. I've been so impressed with his work that I'm looking for a damaged/wrecked E92 Coupe for a similar project. This is a dream come true for me because I love the E92 Coupe, especially in M3 guise, but I can't afford one. The plan is to do the engine swap with an LS2, and slowly address the braking, suspension, etc to handle the increased power. The idea is to have M3 performance and looks for half the price. |

As for the M3 vs C6 acceleration-wise, I think the C6 takes it. Don't get me wrong, the M3's V8 is a jewel of an engine. However, I'm not so blinded as to think that somehow the M3's V8 can somehow outperform the LS3 in a car that weigh roughly 500 lbs less. If anything, I think the M3 may make the Vette sweat from 0-60, beyond that, I think the Vette's lead will widen quite a bit. Car and Driver got the new '08 Corvette to run 0-60 in 4 seconds flat, hitting the quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds. I don't think the M3 can match that, especially in the quarter-mile. However, with that being said, there's no way of being 100% sure until we see comparisons where both cars are tested. |

I would say they are sooo close that either in a 1/4 mile or a road course the driver will determine the winner. but the fact that the M3 seats four gives it the win in my book. If GM had to compromise the Vette design to fit four it would weigh much more.

I agree that the M3 would be more practical due to the fact that it's available as a coupe AND sedan. Here's to hoping the new CTS-V will impress as much as the '08 C6. |

I am more concerned about road course times. thats where I get my kicks.....anyone can drive fast in a straight line. and its amazing a 4 door sedan or 4 seat coupe can keep up with dedicated two seats sports car. I need to seat four so the Vette is not even an option for me.

but running the 1/4 mile is no easy feat also, there is a art to launching a car and good shifts to get the following. 1. reaction time. 2. 60 foot times. the 2 biggest factors in your 1/4 times and trap speed. and of course the car has a lot to do with it also. |

I did a pretty extensive test drive of the M3 weekend, and while I like the styling, fit, and the fact that it holds 2 more people. The M3 feels quick and is very easy to launch off the line with the dsc disabled, it does not feel as fast as the new LS3 vette, from a stand still, or a rolling pull. I know a lot of people are going to get offended, but from about of an hour of driving the vehicle accelerating from all speed including a stand still, the vette feels faster, I don't think the M3 will hang with the vette in the 1/4 mile. |

Both cars, when looked at objectively, definitely have their merits... You should drive a C6 Z and E9X back to back...I do not think you would come to the same conclusion... |
