: 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???
_____________________
Get the Vette. There are tremendous differences between M3s and Vettes. I have owned them both, the M3 is tons more fun (and safer) to drive. However, once you get the Vette, you'll know by the bad experience, that next time this decision comes up again, you'll go M3.
