To be honest,things like this make me mad......sorry OP !
How can someone compare a 6.2 L engine vs 4.0 L engine ?!?! Throw a 4.0 L in the Vette,and than we will talk again ! Or even better.... throw a 6.2 L in the ///M3 and a 4.0 L in the Vette ! Same thing we see with Merc-AMG.....6.2 L vs ///M3 ,or are this big guns needed to beat a ///M3 ? And yes.... the answer we all know

kinda funny to see how current M3 (powertrain wise now 7 years old) is still compared to the latest sports iconic cars, kinda says the value of M3 there whether it won or lost the competition

The M3 will always be a performance benchmark.

Love the new Vette, a serious contender in every way it sounds like. I thought the review was objective and well written. However, disappointing to be told the C7s interior is still lacking in quality vs. the BMW given the $69k price tag. I'm glad it's "monumentally" improved.

Just the fact that amongst some of the best cars it was picked as the best driver's car 2 years in a row over the likes of Lambo, Mclaren, AMG and all the other cars competing says a lot. |

For a 2LT Vette you can knock off another $4k.

It is fantastic how great of a car the E92 M3 is to this day! I still miss my M3.
At some point, I will have an M4 as my DD and the C7 as my weekend/track car. BMW is in my blood. This comment surprised me about the C7... "Then there are the Corvette's optional magnetically adjustable dampers, which shame the M3 when it comes to ride quality. No other car can so thoroughly destroy a race circuit before turning around and coddling its fatigued driver on the interstate journey home. All it takes is the turn of a knob." I'm glad to hear that ride quality is very good on the C7. GM also seems to have nailed the steering. Hopefully BMW will have the same quality electric steering in the M4. Who am I kidding, of course they will

C7 is a good car only in US.
Take into account the fuel consumption and the taxes that must be payed for such a car in Europe M4 will decrease quite a lot the fuel consumption over the E92 M3, but will also increase its performances. It is for sure a cultural difference when choosing the cars |

Also, when the new M3/M4 hit the dealers, they will probably try to market it up or do MSRP for a while, but by that time you should be able to order a C7 with good discount. Performance wise yes it's very interesting to see (I think the new M3/M4 will be closer to C7's performance figures, but still won't be that close), but when we see new M3/M4 on the street the market price of it may be 15-20% higher than a nice C7... Not saying it's fair to compare the C7 with E92, but IMO it also wouldn't be fair to compare the new M3/M4 with C7 due to the significant price difference. Another thing I want to see in the new M3/M4 is if it will have a new adjustable suspension system, the 3rd generation Magnetic Ride Control($2K option on C7) is MAGICAL. Tried it on a ZL1 and it beats any other adjustable/adaptable suspension systems I have ever encountered. |
