Fwiw, that Vette felt and sounded like there was a concrete mixer in the rear. Kind of exagerrating, but you get the idea! Still, it had badass power!
I kind of wish I had a 4.6L stroker motor For a little more streetable torque. As for planes, my fave was always the X-15, followed by the SR-71.

Lame, ignorant comments. Nurburgring Lap Times 7:42.99 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 7:59 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z51 8:05 BMW M3 E92 Piece of shit huh? I'm a hardcore M3 fan. I've owned every M3 besides an E30 (soon). And I'm not a huge Vette fan either. But comments like this really are ignorant and hold zero weight. True enthusiasts wouldnt call a performer like the Vette a piece of shit.

It's to refined it may be quick and the dct is affective and fast but it doesn't feel fast and it's not as exciting to drive fast it just is too removed from the driving expirience for me taste. Idk the v8 rocks and dct is so good at what it does it's almost too good and takes the fun outta the driving. It is so affective it lacks feedback. I'd rather have some feeling. I woudnlt call it slow it just doesn't feel fast it's like more of a luxury car unless you really modify it to be a track car. Weight is the enemy. I can tell the difference between a full tank of gas, between having 1 passenger and myself alone, and between 10 degrees F in temperature with how it's acceleration differs. So having 300lbs more in the e9x and having it feel more like a daily driver more refined is not fun. I would own own as a DD or a toy to track if you could afford to strip it out and tune it up nice. The e46 feels faster despite being ever so slightly slower to 60 and the 1/4...the e46 feels faster with pulled exhaust and tune and coil overs it just is more of an exciting car to drive IMO.

Q. What do you call a race driver who did not win the race but had more fun than the winner?
A. The loser. CA

haha you know that feeling you get at full throttle in 1st and 2nd gear of the m3? You get that feeling in all 6 gears of the vette!
The aqua velva comment was hillarious though, touche! |

dude was sharing a fun experience - for those of us with just a pure appreciation for cars and their inner mechanical magic that propels us at speeds we once only dreamed of its a fun story that brings us back to other cars we have owned or driven in. OP - you should put up a few pics of the set up!

kinda silly discussion. I had a 502 big block in a trans am. low 11"s on street tires. M3 is a much superior ALL around car. Supercharger on an M3? I like the sound of that if your trying to go faster.

Comparing a modded car to a stock car? You could mod a SMART car and it will blow the doors off of a Ferrari. Oh wait, thats been done before
