AutoZeitung: M3 vs. Corvette C6 Coupé - 07-01-2008, 04:21 AM





Result:

1st: M3 - 2564 pts
2nd: Corvette C6 Coupé - 2400 pts

'Vette has slightly better brakes, max speed/acceleration, range and trunk space (lol). Everything else is in M3's favor.

Re: AutoZeitung: M3 vs. Z06 - 07-01-2008, 04:37 AM

I don't think that is the Z06, but the vanilla C6 vette. M3 would have no chance against a Z06.

You're right, my bad.

Thanks, Sunny.

Tough call for me.

American Muscle or German Precision ?

Are you sure? cause besides the number of seats, the vette is probably closer to the C63 than the M3 is in the way it drives.

After looking at the pictures, price and technical data I realized these 2 cars are more similar than I thought and even though the Corvette most likely handles better and is faster due to better aerodynamics the M3 wins because it has a better design.

M3 scored higher in handling.
