I have a friend that works for HPF those M3’s are crazy fast! They make a great product. He keeps telling me I should switch to BMW but it’s just not the same as a Corvette.

I love the sound of that Vette. There is nothing as sweet as V8 power.

i agree with one of the vid post comments...... I also know which one will certainly be back in the shop in next to no time. You can't be the Vette's toughness to abuse. I have to deal with M3's every day. They love using their launch control. Funny thing is that after a stretch of burning rubber between the lights some days... I won't see them again for weeks but I'm guessing there's a repair shop making good somewhere.

Vette had to much power. The M3 started to look stronger in the end though maybe he let the M3 get a few or maybe the vette had a different driver.

Roll racing, too many variables. Seems like it is less likely to prove the faster car.

I bet the vette would have smoked it really bad from a stop. Maybe that was at the end of the video, I couldn't watch much more than 2 minutes.
