Had a little tussle with a BMW Z4 M Roadster today and the Vette held it own no problem!
So I'm on my way home from work and the car in front is a Z4 M with the 4 exhausts out the back and the M badge!. so I stay pretty close to see if he will play. When the car in front of him move s out the way he started to go pretty quick so I matched him to about 60mph.
Now just over the next rise there is a favorite place for a mobile speed camera van so he takes it easy until he saw it was clear then he nailed it and got the jump on me a little because I was expecting him to floor it I just didn't know when.
So I floor the Vette and I catching him no problem we are at about 90 ish.
The traffic lights ahead are on stop and there is a car in each lane so play time is over. We both have our windows down and he moves to the inside lane to chat.
He says that's a bit of a beastie isn't it. I say yeh about 345hp similar to yours, I then tell him 0-60mph is 5 seconds and tops out 173mph is says wow! I say not bad for 15 grand ($28,000) he says it looks a lot more then that. I suppose a Z4 M runs about 40 grand plus! (That's $75,000 to you guys!)
The Vette was all over him. I think he expected to drop me when he floored it!
I think the Z4 M has the same engine as the BMW M3 I think 3.2 338hp I just looked at the specs and it's 0-60mph is 4.6 top speed is limited to 155mph in the UK! 13.6 1/4 mile.
So while I never beat the Z4 the Vette held it own! :devil:
