Both are awesome cars, but it should come as no surprise that the one with more displacement and less weight (also no back seat) would be better for all out acceleration (from a dig or roll ons)
This coming from a person who has owned 2 M3's and driven several Corvettes, the C5 Z06 is one of my favorite cars I have ever driven, period. (the interiors are shit compared to the M3, but that's not the point of the 'Vette. They aren't luxury cars, they are made for speed, nothing else)
Both cars are great, but to shut up the Corvette haters and M3 haters a little bit... these cars were built to do different things in different parts of the world. With some minor suspension mods that C5 can keep up with the M3 in the twisties, and with some minor performance mods to the engine that M3 can hang with the Vette in a straight line. Vettes and M3's are great cars, quit arguing about which one is better, pissing into the wind gets a better result.
just sold my 2010 m3 convertible, to be honest all you pay for is the name, its not a good looking car and the interior is plain boring. the only good thing about it is the double clutch noise it makes. id prefer a corvette to a m3 when you pay £60k+ you dont get shit for your money. £10k+ for a corvette turns more heads. corvette stands out more, bmw need a new design team as their cars are going downhill when it comes to looks. best m3's were the e30's and e36's.....

E46 M3 was in deed the best M3. But it really depends on where you are when people generally appreciate your car more than the other car. In California, a M3 will turn more heads than a Vette. I guess it's true since Hollywood has a lot of influence on BMW or German luxury cars.
@CyberGTX09 Didn't that generation have problems with the chassis cracking?Im not knocking it,just wondering.I never drove a E46 M3 before,so I can't say much about it.I just think that the chassis cracking is a major issue.Is it true & what you like better about the E46 M3 vs the E36 & newer M3s?
@meadowz06 This comment is pretty ignorant, I see the M3 on plenty of top 10 sports car lists, but no Corvette? Saying the M3 isn't an icon is like saying Star Wars wasn't that great of a movie series. I'm American, I've owned a Corvette, their great cars, a little cheaply made, but incredibly fast, I actually just sold my Corvette 6 months ago. The M3 is also a very iconic sports car, especially the original E30. Both cars are great, and bashing each other over which ones best is stupid.
@jgsmitty14 While the Corvette may be much cheaper, price wise, than other cars, you have to remember. BMW and Mercedes are refined European cars, Europe is a different continent. America's roots are the rough, screaming metal death traps of muscle cars (which isn't a bad thing!). Europeans, and me as a personal preference, enjoy the refined qualities, you don't buy a Corvette to daily drive and pick your kid up from school.
Not to mention the vette is lighter.. A 98 doing tha much against a 08 is sick none the less it's a vette expect nothing less but for the m3 to hold it's own like tha wen b4 08 m3 was a v6 it has come along way vette's had time to perfect the v8 by then even now. Both are a car ne body culd b proud to own only ones against are fan boys not true car Enthusiasts
I noticed Ppl on here trashing m3's n vette's both are stupid fan boys thT obviously dnt kno shit about cars or driven one. M3 is N amazing car ne blind ass can see tha n vette is a american masterpiece. If u noticed tho with less modds m3 held it's own with the more heavily modded vette. Use ur heads stock vs stock is only way to prove nething

Everyone of you Vette fanboys are dumbheaded fucks. A M3 gets 10x more attention then a C5. AND! A M3 DRIVES 300x BETTER THEN A FUCKING VETTE YOU FUCK HOLES THINK DRIVING AROUND I THE STIFF PLASTIC SHIT BOX ON WHEELS FINE WASTE YOUR MONEY!
@T4R2001 talk about dumbheaded fuck holy shit you take the cake! maybe if you drove either vehical your opinion would be almost wothwhile.almost. and you call other people fanboys. bitch please!
@ShartCannon So by the looks of it your a vette fan which is ok i fell sorry for you that you dont know how a M3 is you where just a deprived child...Shitdick.
@T4R2001 i said drive either! have you, i have you dipshit. vettes dont suck and m3 are great cars albeit it was an older one i drove. and deprived child? my first car was a mint classic porsche! someone needs their bottle of milk, cranky little boy.
I raced a m3 at the track in my 98 auto with longtubes ls6 manifold ported throthle body cold air intake and tune and he got me by a half a car it was a good run he ran a 12.7 and I ran a 12.8 he had intake exhaust and. Mickey tomson drag radials he had a stick shift not bad for my 10 thousand dollar vette against his 70 thousand dollar m3
Those who bag on which car is better and start being racial when it comes to cars show biased opinions. It shouldn't matter what country you are from or anything of that matter. You either appreciate cars or you don't. I know im bound to get some smart ass remarks.
@moosygoosy It's almost entirely made of plastic, which is why it's lighter, and which is why it's fast. If the M3 in this video had been lighter, it would have smoked the shit out of the Corvette.
You get'em Vette. The thing I love about the LS1 is the average joe working a 9-5 can put money into this thing and get staggering results, ie. 800-900hp. Can't say that about the M3.
Dang the best of the first tier line from BMW vs the best american "muscle " yea, put it into traffic and lets see if this straight line, all balls no brain shit would ever stick... F*ck that! Driving in a straight line is great for these shit cars... BMW are for drivers not for Red neck heaven!
C5 vettes are freeway killers! A lot of people seem to think they are old news but they will sure supprise you. And you can pick them up for so cheap now along with the C5Z06 which is a beast in its stock form
first off, the m3 is my favorite car. and i fully admit that the vette was the clear winner here. the m3 has technology but the vette still has a 5.7 liter v8 compared to a 4.0 which is a big difference (about 42%). there is no shame in losing in a straight line against a bigger engine, not to mention it is made of fiberglass. but i get most ppl here would still have an m3 because of its overall greatness and engineering. my respects for the vette but the m3 is a better car.
ha.. im sorry but your dead wrong about a bmw being a better car, maybe its better when it comes to interior. who gives a shit about the interior, your getting the car to drive it, not sleep in it. That 5.7 liter engine will last 3 times longer than any bmw motor ever will. I would bet my own life on that. My moms owned 3 bmw's in my lifetime. Not one of them has been reliable. Unfortunetly she's too damn stubborn to quit buying them. My 1991 silverado has outlasted all 3 of those beamers easily
@tofurki0789 But definitely not a better performance car, as it attended to be. Do you want luxury and technology, buy a 7 series. Don’t forget that M3 E92 got more horse power then C5 despite of the engine size and still lost. Like someone comment before me "its a decade between the two", go figure..
See all you foreign car fans always say : "Oh American cars got 100.0L v8!"
Well you know what? Yeah that BMW might only have a 4.0L , but it's a 4.0L with FORCED INDUCTION!
People are so ignorant, you all need to realize that a dding a turbo and some sort of forced induction is like having another engine! Or like making yours MUCH bigger.
@Roger0416 You are the one who is a complete ignorant f'king idi*t since you don't have a f'king clue what you are talking. Dipsht!!
The M3 is a 4.0 LITER V8 THAT IS COMPLETELY NATURALLY ASPIRATED AND REVS UPTO 8400 rpm!!! GET IT IN YOUR F'KING rednck head!!!
Oh yeah, listen to that V8 in the M3 screaming at 8400 rpm. THAT OWNS THE bazillion Liter V8 that Chevy has under the hood with all that f'king cheap tuppuwear plastic everywhere.
How old is that vette? 1998. And the BMW 2008? That's what 10 years!? So even after 10 years of technology and improvements the BMW can BARELY keep up with that OLD ass vette?
Please...Get the F out dude.
Oh shut the fuck up dude, look who is talking about ignorant.
BMW's are amazing cars, they truly are, but they are NOT in the same PERFORMANCE league as a vettes are.
PLEASE go ahead and tell me why is so GREAT about a BMW, the interior?
European car fans always go bragging about how their cars are engineered better? What proof of that do you have? tell me!? A C6 z06's interior was compared to a Gallardo and the Z06's interior was only 10% less quality than the Lambo, for a 200 thousand dollars in difference? 10%?! Oh! Not only does the lambo need EXTREME maintenance every 30k miles while the vette will run for 200k miles CLEAN.
the "certain type" of people who valet there e92 m3 always act like there car is some six figure super car. they always ask to keep it up front and never tip, there just as bad as porsche people.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
good stuff. headers make a big change dont they? i wouldnt consider the C5 'close to stock' -kinghaggis
only 'certain type' of people buy corvettes. good cars tho
when i drop off my m3 at the valet or what not, they choose to park it in a prize spot...will they do that for a 98' C5?....oh yeah corvette drivers dont care about stuff like that
@shockerracing what have been smooking? you probably fuck immigrants from poland with your shitty plastic 98 C5 uhh? you get more attention in it than a M3 in your dream,dumbfuck!
@kay19833 Lets see your M3... it wouldn't hold a candle to my shitty plastic 98 C5. I don't even have to see your (probably non-existent) M3 to know if parked side by side mine would get more attention. Not to mention smoking you at the track!
@shockerracing i think my pontiac firebird will get more attention rather then a pos M3 , im sorry , american cars look better , and most important of all , they dont loose the good looks in time. a C5 still looks better then most 2011 cars out , and yes it will ALWAYS get attention :)
@kay19833 You BMW fanboys are all the same, the M3 has never been top in its class. A base model Corvette thats over 10years old will own the E90. If it was an E46 M3 it wouldn't even be worth racing.., Lol @ plastic Corvette, well atleast Vette owners never had to worry about catastrophic engine failures (cough, cough.. E46). LMAO
@kay19833 Sorry buddy, an M3 is just a somewhat sporty 3 series family sedan. Any 'vette is way more car than any BMW. How many GT3 class races does BMW win.....I'll help you out...ZERO. The basically stock 'vette was absolutely owning the M3....and that was just in a straight line. The stock '98 'vette is capable of hitting 180 mph, the boxy M3 will top out around 140-150. The stock '98 'vette will pull near 1g in the skidpad, the M3 is around .89g. The M3 has a full back seat. HA!
@verano29 Stock vs. Stock an E92 M3 is quicker in a straight line than a C5 Corvette. A quick search for some reviews will reveal that. Of course the Vette is the better bang for the buck when you consider that it's over a decade old and has a small-block Chevy that has a million cheap performance parts out there. Neither car in this video was stock, and we know how the LS1 responds to mods. However the M3 is a MUCH nicer car to drive, and a much nicer place to sit.
@shockerracing nice vid, great racing, great cars... M3 shits on a GM all day... c5's use to excite me, I don't even give them a 2nd look anymore, they have pop up halogen lights, along with a junky interior, yes vettes sound great, but thats about it.. M3 is an INCREDIBLE machine, inside and out.. add a drop with nice wheels, it's a head turner anywhere you go.. BMW is more refined than a vette, it's a classy well built masterpiece.. when I think of vettes, I think of rednecks and shitty beer
Dude a Vette would get so more attention and pussy than your Beeamer every day! Specially a C6 Z06, girls will be dropping their panties before you even get there!
@blue92m3 most people wont know what a m3 is where i come from but everyone knows a corvette when they see one........ive driven both buying vette shortly.......
LOL, that C5's basically stock and still beats a 2008 M3. That must be pretty humiliating for the BMW owner. I always thought a C5 Coupe would be basically on par with, maybe even lose to the older M3 types. Never thought the C5 would beat a new M3 with just a few minor mods. Go Corvette!
True, they usually run low 13,s if you're lucky but I can hardly call headers, exhaust and clutch a heavily modded Vette. Heavily modded is when you talk about heads, cam, supercharger mods. Bottomline is I would have expected more from the 2008 M3.
While I agree with you that the mods on the vette are not significant, they obviously did a lot for the car. With a proper clutch he might have run 12.2, a far cry from a stock vette. The M3 with the mods it has should run low 12s also which makes sense from what we've seen here.
Wow, gotta love the namecalling. Makes you look so intelligent.
Anyway, the M3 may be faster on the track but that wasn't the case here. I hear M3 owners bragging all day about walking all over C5's regardless of what race. And true, the mentioned mods are nice mods, but nothing special. I didn't say the C5 is stock, I said BASICALLY stock, with that I mean it isn't far away from being stock. It's about 1 second difference from stock in the 1/4 mile. Plus the M3 was modded too!!!
Considering that the M3 has 10x better build quality than the junk plastic interior of the vette, the fact that the M3 weighs 4-500 lbs MORE and has 1.7l LESS displacement than the vette, I think it did very well.
Not to mention that the M3 can hold the family comfortably in it for a road trip and the corvette only fits 2, with a sore ass.
Take them both to a track, and the vette will get used to seeing the M3's tail lights! :-)
Paying 28,000 more for an M3 is beyond strictly acceleration, it comes to the interior, the luxury, the bells an whistles, the track potential etc... The fact is that the M3 offers far more than the corvette can, and that is why it costs more.
OK... you went from a dig once ... put a 12 year old car against a 2008? How about you line up with a C6 or get a 1998 M3. The Vette would own in each instance.
You're also comparing 2 completely differnet cars. For one, the M3 is down 1.7L of displacement and can comfortably seat 4 people! Also, this vette was a bit of a freak, ran 12.4 in the 1/4 mile with just the bolt ons and a slipping clutch.
No hate on the vette, but m3 looks nicer.

Unfortunetly she's too damn stubborn to quit buying them. My 1991 silverado has outlasted all 3 of those beamers easily

@tofurki0789 is there shame in losing to a bigger engine that gets 8 more mpg's on the highway?
sfsTrader 1 year ago
@tofurki0789 But definitely not a better performance car, as it attended to be. Do you want luxury and technology, buy a 7 series. Don’t forget that M3 E92 got more horse power then C5 despite of the engine size and still lost. Like someone comment before me "its a decade between the two", go figure..

See all you foreign car fans always say : "Oh American cars got 100.0L v8!"
Well you know what? Yeah that BMW might only have a 4.0L , but it's a 4.0L with FORCED INDUCTION!
People are so ignorant, you all need to realize that a dding a turbo and some sort of forced induction is like having another engine! Or like making yours MUCH bigger.
Ignorant fucks.

@Roger0416 You are the one who is a complete ignorant f'king idi*t since you don't have a f'king clue what you are talking. Dipsht!!
The M3 is a 4.0 LITER V8 THAT IS COMPLETELY NATURALLY ASPIRATED AND REVS UPTO 8400 rpm!!! GET IT IN YOUR F'KING rednck head!!!
Oh yeah, listen to that V8 in the M3 screaming at 8400 rpm. THAT OWNS THE bazillion Liter V8 that Chevy has under the hood with all that f'king cheap tuppuwear plastic everywhere.
I would not be caught dead in a tuppuwear Vette.

Listen to your self idiot!
How old is that vette? 1998. And the BMW 2008? That's what 10 years!? So even after 10 years of technology and improvements the BMW can BARELY keep up with that OLD ass vette?
Please...Get the F out dude.
Oh shut the fuck up dude, look who is talking about ignorant.
BMW's are amazing cars, they truly are, but they are NOT in the same PERFORMANCE league as a vettes are.

PLEASE go ahead and tell me why is so GREAT about a BMW, the interior?
European car fans always go bragging about how their cars are engineered better? What proof of that do you have? tell me!? A C6 z06's interior was compared to a Gallardo and the Z06's interior was only 10% less quality than the Lambo, for a 200 thousand dollars in difference? 10%?! Oh! Not only does the lambo need EXTREME maintenance every 30k miles while the vette will run for 200k miles CLEAN.
GTFO good engineering my ass!

only 'certain type' of people buy corvettes. good cars tho
when i drop off my m3 at the valet or what not, they choose to park it in a prize spot...will they do that for a 98' C5?....oh yeah corvette drivers dont care about stuff like that

@shockerracing i think my pontiac firebird will get more attention rather then a pos M3 , im sorry , american cars look better , and most important of all , they dont loose the good looks in time. a C5 still looks better then most 2011 cars out , and yes it will ALWAYS get attention :)
dt262 1 year ago
@kay19833 You BMW fanboys are all the same, the M3 has never been top in its class. A base model Corvette thats over 10years old will own the E90. If it was an E46 M3 it wouldn't even be worth racing.., Lol @ plastic Corvette, well atleast Vette owners never had to worry about catastrophic engine failures (cough, cough.. E46). LMAO
Soprano313 10 months ago
@kay19833 Sorry buddy, an M3 is just a somewhat sporty 3 series family sedan. Any 'vette is way more car than any BMW. How many GT3 class races does BMW win.....I'll help you out...ZERO. The basically stock 'vette was absolutely owning the M3....and that was just in a straight line. The stock '98 'vette is capable of hitting 180 mph, the boxy M3 will top out around 140-150. The stock '98 'vette will pull near 1g in the skidpad, the M3 is around .89g. The M3 has a full back seat. HA!

@verano29 Stock vs. Stock an E92 M3 is quicker in a straight line than a C5 Corvette. A quick search for some reviews will reveal that. Of course the Vette is the better bang for the buck when you consider that it's over a decade old and has a small-block Chevy that has a million cheap performance parts out there. Neither car in this video was stock, and we know how the LS1 responds to mods. However the M3 is a MUCH nicer car to drive, and a much nicer place to sit.

@shockerracing nice vid, great racing, great cars... M3 shits on a GM all day... c5's use to excite me, I don't even give them a 2nd look anymore, they have pop up halogen lights, along with a junky interior, yes vettes sound great, but thats about it.. M3 is an INCREDIBLE machine, inside and out.. add a drop with nice wheels, it's a head turner anywhere you go.. BMW is more refined than a vette, it's a classy well built masterpiece.. when I think of vettes, I think of rednecks and shitty beer

LOL, that C5's basically stock and still beats a 2008 M3. That must be pretty humiliating for the BMW owner. I always thought a C5 Coupe would be basically on par with, maybe even lose to the older M3 types. Never thought the C5 would beat a new M3 with just a few minor mods. Go Corvette!
KingHaggis 1 year ago
Basically stock? The C5 ran 12.4 with a messed up clutch. Never heard of a basically stock C5 running that quick before.
Geeterman1 1 year ago
True, they usually run low 13,s if you're lucky but I can hardly call headers, exhaust and clutch a heavily modded Vette. Heavily modded is when you talk about heads, cam, supercharger mods. Bottomline is I would have expected more from the 2008 M3.
KingHaggis 1 year ago
By the way, the M3 in this vid was "slightly modded" too, so that compensates.
KingHaggis 1 year ago
While I agree with you that the mods on the vette are not significant, they obviously did a lot for the car. With a proper clutch he might have run 12.2, a far cry from a stock vette. The M3 with the mods it has should run low 12s also which makes sense from what we've seen here.

Plus, the M3 wasnt built to go fast in a straight line, put it on a track and itll run circles around your precious vette
cb4rd 1 year ago
Wow, gotta love the namecalling. Makes you look so intelligent.
Anyway, the M3 may be faster on the track but that wasn't the case here. I hear M3 owners bragging all day about walking all over C5's regardless of what race. And true, the mentioned mods are nice mods, but nothing special. I didn't say the C5 is stock, I said BASICALLY stock, with that I mean it isn't far away from being stock. It's about 1 second difference from stock in the 1/4 mile. Plus the M3 was modded too!!!
KingHaggis 1 year ago
Sorry for the name calling but when i read something stupid like that it angers me a little.
And 1 second faster in a 1/4mile is a HUGE difference..
thats atleast another 80-100BHP

Considering that the M3 has 10x better build quality than the junk plastic interior of the vette, the fact that the M3 weighs 4-500 lbs MORE and has 1.7l LESS displacement than the vette, I think it did very well.
Not to mention that the M3 can hold the family comfortably in it for a road trip and the corvette only fits 2, with a sore ass.
Take them both to a track, and the vette will get used to seeing the M3's tail lights! :-)
= M3 is still on top.

And how many time more does the m3 cost vs the base model vette?
ls1maro99 2 years ago
@ls1maro99
The base model corvette today is $50,010
The base model M3 today is $78,000
Paying 28,000 more for an M3 is beyond strictly acceleration, it comes to the interior, the luxury, the bells an whistles, the track potential etc... The fact is that the M3 offers far more than the corvette can, and that is why it costs more.
TurboCarsOnly 2 years ago
This is way off, the base model M3 cost 56K. My M3 with taxes title and everything cost me $73k with everything but the cold weather package.

chicagotransam 2 years ago
You're also comparing 2 completely differnet cars. For one, the M3 is down 1.7L of displacement and can comfortably seat 4 people! Also, this vette was a bit of a freak, ran 12.4 in the 1/4 mile with just the bolt ons and a slipping clutch.
Geeterman1 2 years ago 3
Its all from rolling. Put them in a stand still the M3 would win considering it has a high technology of DSC/track control the vet would just spin.
