That or a track build Porsche..
Xan - nothing against Lotus, but I'm personally not a fan. Thank you for the input, though.

Well, I wouldn't all the GT-R "lightweight", as it weighs 3,900 lbs...but I do like the idea of mixing it up.

They are two totally different cars. Posch 4-seater vs. spartan 2-seater. One is built for speed, the other comfort.

Great points. However, both a Z06 and the M3 will feel like dogs compared to my GT-R. So it really comes down to which one will be more liveable day to day. The M3 is a much better built car overall, but the Z06 is a great performer that actually gets damn good MPG at highway speeds.

The more I think about it, the more I think the choice gets narrowed down between a Z06 or M3. But a '11 Mustang GT also comes to mind, as I think it falls nicely in-between the two. Can't beat the price either...

I still want to drive a NISMO 370, but I can't find any for sale nearby at this moment.

I think the new 1 Series M that's coming out would be a more trackable/fun car than the M3. There's also the Boss Mustang.

Thanks for the post. The ZR1 crossed my mind, but at that price-point, I'd rather go with a 997 GT3.

If I go Z06, it'll be used for sure. I never purchase brand-new, high-end cars.

he said he already had a car to go fast in if he wanted to. the m3 is a lot nicer imo than the z06 plus u dont see them nearly as often. if you think the m3 is a dog compared to the z06 look at youtube videos of m3's with a horsepower freaks turbo. it would bust any z06's ***.

YouTube - HPF Stg 2.5 Turbo BMW M3 vs HKS 570 Nissan GT-R Skyline
YouTube - BMW ///M3 E46 HPF TURBO vs Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
YouTube - HPF M3 Vs 911 Turbo

m3 is definately not a pussy car haha

b1adesofcha0s 04-26-2011 06:03 PM
Yeah, but if you go FI with a Z06 it should beat the M3 considering it's considerably lighter.

didymus 04-26-2011 06:06 PM
Test drive them all! Also what are you looking for, a DD? Personally I'd be looking at the viper, if it were doable..

Divexxtreme 04-26-2011 06:16 PM
Agree that they aren't pussy cars, but the HPF cars are for E46 only (I would want an E92). Also, even the fastest Stage 3 or higher HPF M3s aren't any faster than my S/C'd C6 Z06 was at only 722 rwhp....which wasn't really all that fast. They have very bad traction issues, and they seem to have a problem with exploding motors. No thanks.;)

YouTube - Supercharged Z06 vs Turbocharged HPF E46 M3

They do. But actually their fastest car to date is a Stage 2.5 (I'm very familiar with the cars). The Stage 4 just blows its tires off since you can't fit anything big back there. Not a good platform for big power, IMO.

And yes, quite a few blown motors lately. But that's supposed to be a secret.:)
