: : 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.


If you go with the vette, you will sacrifice, among other things, handling. The difference in the handling between the m3 and the vette goes way way beyond "suspension upgrades". It just depends on what's important to you in a automobile, and your driving habits.
