Hi. I’m a BMW fan, so I don’t know a lot about american cars and engines in general. But I find it funny that the m3 with the 3.2 Liter engine, beats the mighty Corvette c5 (exception Zo6) with a 5.7 liter engine. Thats weird if you ask me. 0-60 times are faster in a m3 and also top speed without the limiter. And the corvette has more HP, 345 vs. 333hp for the m3. The weight shouldn’t really be an issue on this one, because the m3 isn’t lightweight at all. Even at fuel economy and handling the m3 is superior, based on my research. Not to mention the interior. The m3 is amazing when it comes to the interior. I got a chance to drive one, and Its my favorite car.
I wanna see what some corvette fans have to say about this. Thanks
the only thing that I have to add to this, which was my main question actually is: How come a small engine (3.2 litre) can be compared to a 5.7 litre, and still be faster. I don’t understand this. This shows that chevy engines are very unefficient if you can achieve better results with a much smaller engine. I know the corvette is the national pride of america, and I like it too, but can’t compare it to the M3.

An autocross contest ive driven m3s m4s c4s c5s and cons guess its matter of taste.
The m3 may outpace an year old vette c5 with 060 times but quarter mile will be different as would an year old vette c5 with 060 times but quarter mile will be different as would an year old vette c5 with 060 times but quarter mile will be different.

The new corvette was designed in technology compared to european cars the spyderhow it is spelt.
For details looks like the vette and quarter mile time everything else that you mention such as the most important factor in 131 105 mph top speed 175 without limiter assuming 6speed manual.
