M3 v. C5 Z06?
I was out on a drive tonight getting closer to breaking in the engine and I was on a long, straight, 4 lane road. A C5 Z06 pulls up next to me and sits there for a second and then pulls away. It got me thinking, and I think it would have been pretty close. What do you think?

M3 vs. Z06
Huhh? The 'Vette has 80 more hp & 175 more lb. ft. and 500 less lbs weight? You're dreaming.

Yep, that would have been real interesting. That was a car I really wanted for a long time but just couldn't stomach the car itself as a whole for the money. Now I will have that type of performance in an overall package that I think is incredible. Good things come to those who wait.

One of my friends has one, I'll see if I can't arrange something after the break in is done.

All that said, the C5 Z06 was a very edgy car, sharing more in driving spirit with the original M3 than with the current E90/E92 model. It's also considered to be about as quick as the current 436 HP Z51 Vette, with low to mid twelve second quarter miles the norm, at about 116 mph. Anecdotally, I personally watched a friend of mine pilot his stock (except for aftermarket shifter) 405 HP C5 Z06 to an 11.99 second ET at just under 117 mph. Of course, that was a record as far as I know, and is not to be considered the norm. OK, finally getting exactly on point, your M3 would have acquitted itself well against that C5, but he would pull on you slowly but surely. On a road course, he'd also post slightly better times, assuming equal driver skill. At the 'Ring, the C5 Z 06 went a 7:56, which is close to what the current Z51 car should do. Bruce |

You have every right to be proud of your ride, and the race would be pretty close, from my point of view. Bruce |

I used to have a C5 Z06. It's fast. And you're right, it would come down to whoever got the best launch...
