Why corvettes are the best
Ok, corvettes are the best or many reasons. First of all, they come in three varieties: coupe, convertable, and Z06. And guess what, all three can be driven every day, but the Z06 is a bit harsh for city driving. The technology, engineering and thought put into corvettes is unparraleled.
Here is a list of cars vettes are better than.... -all porsches -BMW M3 & Z8 -any jap crap -mustangs -and guess what....vettes are America's ultimate sports car, so they are better than vipers -also....why go out and get a ferrari when you can go out and get a vette which is faster the any current production ferrari, just as good handling, and better skidpad performance....and.....why get a lamborghini when a Z06 is just as fast and beats it ineverything else corvette:monkeypis porsche, bmw, mustang, jap crap VETTES RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!:ylsuper Last edited by luke813; 10-28-2001 at 06:39 PM. |

M3 is not what u think
M3 is a force or reckoning for you winey vette lovers
the M# is also nice and comfotable and fits alot of people to boot take off the M3 body and slap some 2nd rate aerodynimic doorstop known as the corvette, save some serious pounds off its also pretty slim weight line by taking out seats and options and the M3 would pass that vette like it was going backwards the vette is a nice car, its classy and its eternal but its not the super amazing rocket it was when it first cmae out along time ago ever manufacture pretty much on the road today has a compartable model most even a step ahead |

M3's, yeah right
Nope, an M3 is no "force of reckoning". M3's are one of the wussiest cars (next to porsches). They are the definition of a bs sportscar, with their pretty little wood grain interiors and that o-so-girly 3 series exterior. Fine take a few pounds of your wuss mobile. A Z06 will put you to shame either way. And sorry, there are no companies with a car that can match a corvette with bang for the buck. And actually, there are only a very small handfull that have a (stock) car that can beat a Z06 in every performance catagory. Ferrari, (currently) nope. BMW, sorry. Lamborghini, ah-uh. Porsche, one...the GT2 which only the super rich can afford anyway. You'll never see one on the road. Ford, don't make me laugh. Aston Martin, no can do. Maseratti, nah. Dodge Viper, equal speed but can't do it handleing wise. That about sums it up.
Vettes rule and you know it!!!! |

I'm seeing 2 extremes here, one for and one against the vette.
So lets just say the vette rules, unless you need a back seat

I'm just saying some people are touting the vette, and others are slamming it. I'm to tired to post now, but I will do a long one now.
This will probably come off wrong, so think of the least threating way this can be taken

I guess it's time for me to chime in here...
I watched the comparison on Speedvision a few weeks ago, and was rather upset. This test was supposed to be a PERFORMANCE TEST. That was the name of it...This wasn't a test to see who is ALMOST as fast, yet can seat 2 more people. In every aspect of the PERFORMANCE TEST, Chevy's Corvette ZO6 won. Yet, for some reason, it wasn't the winner. Why? Because the testers obviously felt that since the M3 had 2 extra doors and 2 extra seats, along with more leather, and a bigger price tag, it HAD to win. Face it, the M3 won because the testers gave it points for being "pretty" But this wasn't a damn beauty contest, it was a PERFORMANCE TEST! I really like both the ZO6 as well as the M Series cars, but when I'm going to go shopping for a car that's going to kick ass at the strip AND road course, I'm going to turn to the Corvette (or to MY car)

OH yeah, and 1 more thing...
Maybe we can do a comparison of the C6 ZO6 with the M3 ? I'll guarantee you right now that the M3 will look just plain SILLY when the C6 comes out. Chevy's dropped the F-Body platform, and now they're going Viper/Ferrari Hunting! You can COUNT on the base Vette having over 400hp and the ZO6 over 450!

A good friend of mine had the chance to talk with a guy involved with the C5R Race Team. He also was semi involved with the designing of the C6 (which actually is still not completely done).
The guy wouldn't tell him exactly what was going to happen, but he said that you CAN expect there to be a lot more power then they have now. There WILL be a C6 ZO6, and there is a possibility that it may be a DOHC or "2 in the Valley" design. Either way, he said watch for a "multi-cam" setup with more cubic inches then the current Vette. That means, BIG MOTOR with DOHC! Yay! They are also going to offer a right hand drive version to be made for Europe. GM plans to go Ferrari killin!

ok luke that is going a little far. vettes are wonderful. i love them but they aren't as godly as you seem to think. they are not better then all porsches. I am sorry but a z06 is amazing at $50k but it is not going to compete that closely and certainly not destroy a $200k porsche. it just won't happen. and don't go generalizing and call all japanese cars crap. there are some real gems in there. rx-7 tt, supra tt, 300zx tt. admittedly the z06 can beat some of the jap cars but not all of them.
