I worked on cars for years before I bought my M3 and I refused to stop just because it's a more expensive platform. I did pads/rotors almost immediately and then I installed the ESS supercharger myself as well. Not any more difficult than a head swap would be on a vette, especially if you know your way around a garage and have the tools/space.
I've always loved the C6 Z06 and would happily trade my car for one if I could find the right deal. In my case, the M sits in a garage 80% of the time and when I am driving it, it's more for car meets and cruises than any daily driving. However, the versatility of the M is perfect. Running errands, going to business functions, taking road trips and then going to the track are all handled perfectly in the M, compared to a Vette where you'd have to sacrifice some of that.

Ok...in my enjoyment of driving that M on Saturday i mis-heard...the owner said he had 8 track days with the car. Said the car hardly burnt any oil and he was surprised. But yes the car has 8 track days under the hood. Should i be weary? i mean the car did drive as expected and power delievery was there, Also his new StopTech BBK's only have 1000 miles on them. Im conteplating here. |

Not taking anything away from the E92 M3 but they are not at all comparable to a Z06 in any performance metric. Period. They are more practical, more comfortable, nicer interior, etc... at least compared to a C6 Z06. The C7 bridges the gap on the interior. |
