[QUOTE="CigarPundit, post: 1402046, member: 36337"] I’ve driven plenty of vettes (my dad likes them). They’re fast, no doubt. But I wouldn’t trade my M3 for a vette—ever. Totally different cars. The interior, fit and finish simply is leagues apart. The M3 has a useable back seat and four doors. My 3.0 six is putting out well over 500 hp and 550 ft-lbs with nothing more than a tune. I know lots of guys that go a bit further and are making 600-700 hp reliably. It spins the wheels at the drop of a hat...any hat. Plenty fast and so much nicer on every level. I LOVE the high-revving BMW straight six. And although the M-tax is heavy, the eco-boost really does not compare. Liquid intercooler, incredibly robust cooling system, and virtually no turbo lag. Highly tunable to make crazy power. They run them hard all day every day at Thermal in 100+ degree heat and they never bat an eye. That engine is made to track, and it will not heat soak. When I pop the hood after a run, the IC is frosty to the touch, and the turbos are happily cooling themselves down. The F80 has proven to be a very reliable and robust platform. [/QUOTE]
