SO A HIGH POWERED RWD SPORTSEDAN IS A YEAR ROUND DRIVER?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY VETTES AND ZO6S ARE CRUISIN AROUND OUT HERE IN CLEVELAND IN THE SNOW? SO IT IS FASTER TO 60... HMM... K SO WHAT HANDLES BETTER? I DONT GIVE A FUCK HOW MANY PEEPS FIT IN THE CAR. AS LONG AS I FIT WITH A CHICK AT MY SIDE WHO GIVES A FUCK. AND I LIKE THE M5. I REALLY DO. BUT I THINK THAT IT IS OUTPERFORMED BY A ZO6 OR EVEN A REG VETTE. HONESTLY. THE VETTE ALSO FEELS LIKE A TRACK CAR, WHICH IS WHAT I WANT, WHEREAS THE M5 IS MORE OF A CRUISER FOR THE AUTOBAHN... NOT THAT IT DOESNT HANDLE, BUT IT DOESNT HANDLE LIKE A VETTE, THATS FOR SURE... NO OFFENSE OR ANYTHING, JUST CALLIN IT LIKE I SEE IT :licker: |

Porsche...my car is black w/ a torch red interior. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I was in the opposite lane from the M5, behind another car. There was no one behind the M5, so I revved at him and he revved back. When the light changed, he took off, and I pulled out behind him. Then I came from behind and went around. That is why I only had four lengths on him. I figured he would have been farther ahead of me because of all that manuevering. It was probably driver error on his part.

Hey Hey Hey people!!!!
Lets not get out of hand here.... Yes, the Corvette and M5 are in different leagues. Yes, they both do different things better than the other. But they are both fast as hell, and whether you like one or the other is your own opinion. This whole thing started when it was mentioned that you should not compare a Z06 to a M5, and that it was a stupid race. Now you're saying how close their acceleration times are...why not compare or race a Z06 to a M5 if they are that close performance wise? You all have your own opinions, just realize that they are yours and should not be everyone elses. Feel free to keep comparing the cars, just tone it down a little please.

i understand 100%...
you just stated that the m5 was a better car, and then pointed to luxury, which is a totally different level than what the z06 is... i kinda would like a m5 more, only b/c so many people would overlook its understated styling... that is, until you get sticker shock... in bang for the buck, i would go zo6, but for all out fun in surprising the hell outta people, i would have to take the m5, cuz no one thinks that a guy in a bmw is gonna spin em... that is what i dont like about a majority of bmw owners (or at least the ones i see)... they dont ever flaunt it. they should just drive a buick if it is transportation. driving a bmw, or a vette for that matter, is about having fun, and, oh yeah, going somewhere, really fast... that is what matters. as long as you drive it like it was meant, its all good... ya know? :licker: |

LOL. Shuddup
 It's a European Ford Escort RS Cosworth. Same as the little cartoon car there. It's a European Escort all souped up by Cosworth, they made 7145 of them. About 25 have made it to North America. They are basically a rally car for the road, 4WD, with a longitudinally mounted engine instead of transverse. They have 227 hp from the factory, so you can imagine the speed of a 227 hp 4WD Escort . Quite a few have been bumped up to around 350 hp for even more fun. Sun international (www.suninternational-usa.com) imports them to North America (along with old WRXes, Lancer Evos, Lotus Elises, etc.), and they currently have a 350 hp one for sale, $40,000 US imported and federalized. Now I just need the money.....

I saw a car just like yours at the Ottawa Auto Show, it looked sweet, well then again, any Z06 is sweet. Heep, I saw a high speed chase on TLC the other day and a 14 year-old in Britain had stolen one of those and was smoking the cops for about 15 minutes and then he took a turn to fast and slide into a patch of trees, the car and the 6 month-old child he had with him were fine. That car can really move!

Whats the point in racing an M3. The M5 is just as fast if not faster. I think Mr.Z06 knows that he has a Z06. You must have one hell of a Z06 to get 4 car lengths. But good going man.
