Are you kidding? The M5 is a VERY sweet ride! The Camaro may have the edge on raw power and price, but the M5 is a whole package deal; looks, handling, and power. 500HP is nothing to scoff at. Of course, if you are counting pennies, then the Camaro has the edge...

Personally, I'd go for the M3 as I tend to like smaller vehicles. I like the fact they "feel" lighter. Still has 330HP too. Too bad it's about 50 large. :dft004:

Very true but the camaro is its own style, M5 looks like a mercedes,that looks like an audi, that looks like a lexus,and so on , and so on


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Hmmm. Maybe. I can understand what you mean, but I still think the BMW has a distinctive look. Classy and performance.

Ok.. the car choice opened the ol can-o-worms. :)

The Camaro and M5 may not be the perfect example... but what I meant was that two cars might have similar horsepower etc and may be close in track performance but they can be vastly different in how the get it done... one car may be less refined and maybe a handful to keep on the track while another one is sheer pleasure to drive while still having equal or better performance. Maybe Viper vs. McLaren? :p

I'm partial to Corvettes personally... and I have a lot of cars I like. But the Z06 is one of the greatest sports cars ever made. IMHO I don't think I will ever get to have one though :012: :012:

It's the exception to the rule... little engine that could... the Feigao that smokes the Lehners of the world and looks good doing it. :D

It has the looks and the raw performance to run with the big boys... nothing beats it for less than 10X the price. Only the exotic supercars in the high six figure range cleary best a Z06 in a fair fight. But then how can $65,000 vs. $500,00+ ever be fair? :005:
