black00ws6 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm getting the sports car itch since I sold my cobra. This has been the first time I haven't had some sort of V8 sports car since early '95. So I need some opinions on what to get.. I've owned a 94 Z, 98 C5, 00 TA and my 03 cobra. I have my eye now on either an 03 Z06 or an 03 M3 (or both if I can talk my wife into trading her TA on one of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harris92 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 My vote goes to the Z06. Amazing handling, and incredible acceleration. You cant beat the bang for the buck either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 well it all depending on what you are wanting to do with the car and what you are wanting out of it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fast.. yup, that about sums it up. the 05 vette should be on that list as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's classier, IMO, has four seats, and is still a pretty fast little car. It's a little more refined, in other words. Whereas the Z06 is muscley, the M3 is refined.

Skinner Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 well if your wanting fast and are seriously considering spending hte money on a 06 Z06 you may want to consider a used Viper or why not get a classic mussle car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GSRchick714 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I would kill to have an M3, its my favorite car! Looks nice and its quick too! Plus it has a back seat which is a little more convenient than the Z06...although the Z06 would also look nice. But def. go for the M3 IMO! graemlins/nod.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm trying to talk my wife into getting a violet colored M3. My buddy is going to let me drive his M3 some to see how I like it, so I will probably decide after that. The M3 might be quick but I don't think it will have the raw power that I want. I had a 450rwhp TA and 490 rwhp cobra. tongue.gif And I don't care about the back seat.. The looks and luxury are drawing me towards the M3, not it's power.

Skinner Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 so your keeping the TA as a toy and ZO6/M3 will be the daily???? If your getting the M3 for her i would say go with a vert if they still offer it for that M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor has an '02 M and my dad has a Z06. Although the M is fast, it just doesnt feel like it. Where as with the Z, when you touch the gas, you GO. But of course the M's fit and finish is nicer than the vette, but we dont know what the interior of the new Z06 will be like. If you can swing it, get both -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 M3 = Heathers Z06 = urs... Heather would fit in an M3... you'd fit more in a muscle car... plus Z06 = the hotness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 The M3s tend to blow up their engines real nice. You have entirely too much hair to buy the vette. The SRT-10s are graemlins/supergay2.gif Get the 02 GTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.COS Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I'd buy the M3. However, I think the Z06, considering your description, is what you really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Since you mentioned the Viper, if you want don't want a drop top, the Viper Coupe SRT-10 comes out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
