From my experience, the C5+ Vette has generally done better at local autox and track events; running circles around ///M3's stock vs stock.

Only 4 seconds faster at the ring... 8:18 vs 8:22 according to http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?vie...ID=0&tID=10073 If the e92 m3 was 4 seconds slower than an 08 corvette z51 i'd be ecstatic.

One thing about the Vette, this might be the biggest mid-life power bump its had in a while. Can't recall exactly, but I think the C5 debuted with 340hp, and ended the run with 350hp. Not too hard to keep up when the car doesn't get much power increase for 6 or 7 years. With competition the way it is, we might just see the M3 get a decent bump at its mid-life cycle also. |

competition is always good. We benefit as the consumer by getting better, more bad-ass cars

Dec '07 Winding Road (aka the Davis clan) seems to be in love with the IS-F. It looks like a comfortable twin of the C63 AMG. Heavy, fast, trick slush box.

First off BMW sauber has more points in F1 than Williams Toyota!!!, also Toyota only was on the podium once, BMW was on a couple of times this season. As for Rally, Champcar, Indy, BMW doesnt participate in those and who cares. And Nascar, the worst of them all, Nascar is talentless mindless Redneck ring racing nothing more, if BMW joined in Nascar I would puke!!!!! |

STOP !!
I own a 2008 C-6 with Z51 and the better exhaust it is fast but it is not
an M3 ( I have driven the new M3 at the BMW Experience ) so I can make a good comparison. They both rock but both are so different I could see where this is going, The Corvette is lighter and has 2 seats is very good to drive fast. It has a supercar feel to it The M3 is a car that you could take your kids in the back seats with sports chairs, sit them on the side of the track, Run all day and load them back up to go home. It revs to get its power where the Corvette is more efficient down low Drive Them fast and they are like two different women both will give you a ride you wont forget, they are just too opposite to compare.
