I believe there are more to owning a car than just looking at the numbers. It is true that the Z06 produce better numbers, but whats the point? After the novelty wear off, you are driving a chevy, a very fast one, may be, but still a chevy,with a fiber glass body.Have you driven a chevy lately ? It will be nice to have a date with the Z06, but marriage ? Not me. I am a die hard bimmer fan, I am very happy with my 240hp M and my 192 hp E30 M3. Find a less travelled back road and enjoy the ultimate driving machine. When you come across a Z06 at those situations, you may even surprise him . Just remember a vette can never be as nimble as an M Coupe.
