370z VS E46 M3 :)

817-370z · 11-12-2009, 03:46 PM

get the 370z, i have driven both and the Z feels faster and sportier, now the new M3s are faster, but cost like $20k more than the Z.

to the poster who said, the new bmw will beat a new vette.llllllllooooooolllllll

the new vettes come stock w/ 436HP/ 424Tq
and the new M3s come stock w/ 414HP/ 425 Tq

how can a M3 beat a vette, when it has = torque and less HP???

especially when the bmw outweighs the vette.

You really should drive an m3 and experience it.

HP is most beneficial top end, torque is what really yanks you out of the turns.

uh yeah, not even close. HP is 414 but the TQ is less than 300 on the E9X M3...like 296 or 298. One of those two.

you got your number wrong, the M3 comes with 295 tq. and guys an e92 m3 isn't beating a vette, even the DSG one, but it is in competition with the 997 911 S, its not really faster but its going to make the p-car push like hell.
Any IMO i would get the 370z over the e46 m3 unless you need the space of course, the potential of the 370z at this point seems pretty unlimited
