Default Re: C6 or E46 M3

Xeth, I use to own a 99 C5, and I got 22mpg mostly city driving. Last model Z06 is rated at 30mpg on the highway. And the C6 is no exception, corvettes get great gas mileage. And As far as the new m3 goes, they better do alot with it, because I hate the way these new BMW's are looking. BMW is doing something that I didn't think was possible, turning me into a Mercedes Benz guy.

I would have to take the M3, but can't beat a Z06. But for the price of the new Z06 i would just buy a used 996 911 Turbo.

And the CTS-V does not use the LS2, currently used by such cars as the 05 GTO and C6. It uses the LS6 which was from the 2001-2004 Corvette Z06. Car and Driver just got a cts-v to out accelerate and out handle a 300 SRT-8. Ran 13.1@110. Crazy for a big car like that. But the srt-8 was right behind it at a 13.2. Wish they made a coupe of that in a manual. I would so own one.
