The m3 is still chasing the Z06----it needs a power boost---and it probably will get it soon.
The M3 is very unlikely to get a power boost because its as fast as BMW want it to be. If it did get one, it wouldnt be because of the Z06. The M3 isnt about straight line speed, its about agility through the turns, which the Z06 unfortunately cant match. What the M3CSL will do to the Z06 around a track is scary to think about, absolute carnage. Overall, the M3 isnt about numbers. Numbers dont say a lot about a car's character and true dynamic ability.

And im also gonna have to agree with AC Schnitzer M3, it did take Chevrolet a hell of a long time to tame the handling on the Corvette. Until the most recent 'vette, the handling was nothing to write home about, but admittedly many steps forward have been made. Nothing to touch 911's and M3's though.

cheers,
