Are u changing the subject? Please atleast stay on my subject of WHEN the LIGHT said the GTR should shift.. hello Ohh and if you havent relized i was joking about the V-Spec, the ZR-1 dominates that too. Its okay i drive a infiniti but that doesn't mean im gonna hate on the Zr-1

Check your prices before you post. 58k for the M3 coupe with no options (you can make it a 70k car pretty easily with options - and that's just the coupe) 106k for the zr1, every option will make it 115k. Either way, no one said that factory speed was cheap nor is exclusivity

The ZR1 is significantly more expensive than the M3. M3's start at around 54,000. That Vette starts at 115,000. I'd say that the M3 is a way better deal than the ZR1 at those prices.

Guys, Make sure you clicking on 5 star! I test drive zo6 and wow! I never ever feel something like this! Even M3 can't dream that much power! which both are around same price. But 1 thing i respect and that is BMW M3 HANDLING! ;)

well shifting at lower RPMs doesnt change how fast the car will top out in gear.
• donisthabomb1 on 08-Jan-09
The ZR1 seems like it should be capable of running faster. The driver is shifting at only 4,300-4,500 rpm, awfully low, the car has at least another 2,000 rpm in each gear. When they tested the 599, GTR and GT2 they shifted well above 6,000 rpm.

yeah i know weather conditions effect it, but there have been multiple test of the zr1 that cant go over 205mph. i've seen 200.4, 204 and 2005. plus even if u modd it, it will run out of gear at 210mph. there are cars with less hp that can go faster.
• donisthabomb1 on 08-Jan-09
Also take into consideration during the test conditions weren't ideal? a 5mph headwind can easily kill 20mph on the top end. Meanwhile only help you 5mph higher when it's a tailwind.

is anybody here not impressed with a 638hp car weighing only 3000 lbs not able to go any faster? i mean there are a handful of european cars that have WAY passed the 200mph mark.
• donisthabomb1 on 08-Jan-09
I'm not taking sides, but even though the v-spec can't compete with the zr1's higher speeds, won't it still perform just as well at lower speeds? That's what I thought at least.
