If the corvette was the benchmark....WTF didn't you JUST BUY A CORVETTE?

And honestly, I couldn't agree more with Moira.

Sit in an M3 than Sit in a Vette.

Though the C5 and C6's have stepped up there interior game and is by no means cheap...The inside of an M3 is definitely nicer.

With that being said, Give me a 335i Chipped and a full exhaust and I'l gladly keep up with a "Stock" vette.

I am not so sure about that, but the 335 does packs a lot of punch

It would keep up. Really depends on how much of a tune you could get out of the 335...But it should put you on par with a Stock M3, Damn close anyway.

If i had my choice though I'd go with an Audi S4 if we're talking Performance Sedans. Less power...I just like Audi's Styling more. And with some work it can get close to 400 ponies quick.

I'll be at VIR in July. My Vette is pretty much stock (headers). I'll buy you dinner if I don't beat your best time by 2 seconds.

I've driven both. I too would prefer the M3 as an all around car. But it I were looking for a track molester.....I have to admit I'd buy a corvette. Mainly because for the money, I could spend less overall and have more of a car.

But what I can't wrap my head around is why so many "cock's" (as Clarkson would say) continue to make the corvette the benchmark to TRY and beat?!?!

But then again....I don't understand why you'd dump an additional $10k into a civic just to try and beat mustangs/camaro/challengers either.

Maybe that's why I bet.

hell no to the south course, or me trying on my track bike.

I am one of the few odd ones that likes south better than north, but I also like jefferson at summit point so go figure

Homeslice · 05-31-2012, 04:05 PM

I know someone with an M3, and he is all into the whole xenon lights / hi-end audio / rimz / lowering kit .......He mostly "flosses" it (creeps around at starbucks/jamba juice, hangs his arm out the window everywhere he goes)

Asked him if he's ever taken it to a track day, and he goes "dude these tires are expensive"
