Nah... I love my MCoupe! (archive)

I was just looking over at the e46 m3 board, and have noticed major controversy regarding the Z06 versus the M3. It seems clear to me that no matter how hard you can slam the Z06 for being made in America and criticizing all of its rough edges, it is still the better car. Hell, the Z06 beat the Porsche Turbo by over two seconds on the track in a R&T issue a month or two ago. The Z06 is without question the best American-made supercar. With a price not that much greater than that of a current M coupe, and only a few thousand more than the upcoming 315hp M coupe, I was wondering if anyone on this board was planning on purchasing a Z06 anytime soon (I know Coky has brought this up at one time or another). I personally think that jumping over to the Z06 would be an attractive option for the next few years while waiting for a re-designed M coupe with the suspension upgrades, craftsmanship upgrades, 6th gears, etc. that everyone is waiting for.\

While shopping for cars just before i bought
my Mcoupe, i went to a chevy dealer to check
out vettes... unfortunately, they didn't do
test drives, so i just got to sit in a used
c5. i was repulsed by the interior. it had
the ugliest automatic shifter i'd ever seen
and the interior was fallin apart as well.

On the other hand, the z06 wasn't out yet...

The vette definately has the better brakes,
suspension, and engine. For the money it
puts to shame vipers, 911s, etc... that cost
a hell of alot more.

The coupe has the better body, interior, and usability over the vette, and there's alot
less of them on the road. I also paid about
10-12k less for my coupe than a z06 would
have cost. ;)-

So, yeah the vette is awesome and i wouldn't
mind having one, but i love my coupe.

ciao,
