In Reply to: 2001 M3 vs. 2000+ Vette ? posted by Tom on December 05, 1999 at 21:29:26:
: I've long been very interested in getting the next 345 HP M3, HOWEVER, I drove the 2000 Vette Coupe yesterday, it was damn fast and rumbled quite a bit, handling was neither perfect nor poor... overall I was quite pleased (despite its heritage). I can leave with one very loaded for $45,000 total in the very near future. The next M3 will likely be over $50-55k after taxes, is quite a wait to get one, and may be equally fast at best. Do you think I should be impatient and get the vette, or wait for the M3? Also, what about the 2001 vette with 425 HP (see my previous post below)? That will surely be a killer for the M3's price. WHAT TO DO???
Best bang for the buck is the corvette. And to answer the handling issue, suspension upgrades are rather cheap.
