I saw few magazines that compared a 2002 Z06 with 2002 Viper GTS and they both went to 60mph in the same time. After that the viper had a slight shorter times to 100 and the 1/4 mile. The 01 Z06 is only slower than the 02 Z06 with .2sec to 60mph which is nothing. The 02 Z06 got to 60mph is 4.0 i saw few 4.1 so the 01Z06 will get to 60mph in say worse 4.4. The M5 best i have ever seen was 4.7 to 60mph. I think it was motor trend but it gets to the 1/4 mile in 13.0-13.2 at 108-109 compared with the 12.7-12.8 at 113-114 for the 01Z06. Hell i can take out a M5 with my Camaro let alone a 01 Z06 with mods.

how much are cosworths going for over there? in the US, a unmodified T25 from 1995 is about 30,000 dollars, or 45,000 pounds sterling, if you can find one...

I own a modified C5, LS6 motor producing over 500 HP and I also own a 2003 M3 six speed.

The corvette is an awesome car-- Tremendous straight line acceleration and excellent handling. My C5 does the quarter mile in the mid-10 sec range with automatic transmission.

However, the M3 is in an entirely different class. It is sophisticated and powerful. It outhandles the vette easily and accelerates as fast as a stock C5 only with a back seat and a trunk.

The M5 is extremely similar in power and handling as the M3.

IMO, BMW out classes and will outperform the C5 in many categories.

In the end the BMW is the real winner! It has a greater residual value and in the case of the M3 vs. C5-- the M3 is only a little 6 cylinder!!!

Swallow that one C5!!

If any of you are interesting in a Cosworth in action go download "getaway in Stockholm 2". It's about 15 minutes long of a Cosworth and a Surpa running away from the police in Stockholm.

M5 vs Z06

I can't believe what I'm reading. Go get yourself an RS6 and you'll spank both the M5 and the Vette!

How about no...

Go get yourself that RS4 or whatever...yes it has the most hp of the 3 but it is the haviest, has the most drivetrain loss, and is a wagon.

The RS6 will beat the M5 yes, but it wont even come close to a Z06.

First of all, the RS6 is not a wagon - And as far as being a faster car than a ZO6, you might be right, but it also depends on your elevation. A turbo engine isn't really hurt by the thin air, whereas you will lose about 3% of you engines power for every 1,000 feet of elevation. Very important in a lot of states. Although I've seen some bad Vette's. Totally different cars, but I'd like to see them get it on!

ummm... the rs6 IS a wagon

all of audis fastest cars are wagons

btw, u talk about the current m5, the e39 design is already dated, wait for the e60 m5 w/ v10 and close to 500 hp, then lets see how fair it is to compare to some of the other german companies' current designs

btw, that e60 design, and for argument's sake, ALL of BMW's ///M designs of the moment are N/A - wait til someone lowers the compression, beefs up the internals, and straps a turbo onto that puppy
