My claim is nothing controversial. Close your eyes and compare two cars, one is 3700lbs and the other is 3200lbs. The heavier one has 22less hp and 124lbs-ft less torque yet it is as quick or quicker than the lighter car, would'nt logic suggest that it's probably making more power that what it's suggesting. Now open your eyes and stop being a fanboy and really think about it. Don't tell me that the M3 is so efficient on putting power on the ground that it actually erased the 500lbs, 22hp+, and 124lbs of torque advantage that the Vette has.

If like the 335 the M3 is under-rated also, again I don't see that as a bad thing, why would you not want more HP than listed, again I would happy if my car had more HP than listed.
I think one thing that helps the BMW is that it puts down the power off the line better than the vette, that could also be a possibility.
a lot of people with stock vettes run 12.8-12.4 in the qtr mile with 2.0-2.1 60 foot times, I know it's tricky to get a good launch on the vette, it's too easy to sit at the line while others take off, I've seen ZO6's run high 13's because the driver could not drive. not mag publications, actual time slips at Moroso. So what if you could get that 60' to a consistent 1.8, then the average times would be 12.5-12.1.
for those of you getting M3's in FL, when you get them head up to Moroso for test and tune, and start posting actual times, that would be good info for all.
