Default 2008 Ls3 vs 2 BMW M's

COMPETITION ALREADY SETUP for my buddy's brand New Ls3.


2008 6speed base Ls3 vs 2008 BMW M5
2008 6speed base Ls3 vs 2009 BMW M3


Races will go down pretty soon. I think the ls3 will beat the e92 M3 for sure, dont know about the m5. All cars are BONE STOCK. What you guys think?

M3 < LS3 Vette

M5 = LS3 Vette Under 100mph

M5 Rapes LS3 Vette over 100mph

Ha I was just going by the videos I have seen. I would figure that the M5 and LS3 are pretty equal.

Oh. What i thought was the m5 would be ahead by very little off dig and roll until 100mph then the vette would pull.

Nope. Complete opposite. The Vette will be ahead from a dig, and then the M6 will pull ahead. The faster the cars go, the further the M6 will distance its self from the Vette.

IMO the m5 will pull the vette pretty good. Judging this off my personal experiences. Although the vettes im reffering to could have been ls2s.. but those m5s hall *** for sure!

I thought the vette would pull due to its top end and arerodynamics. Damn, its true when they say bmw has insane topend. If the 08 LS3 had a vararam intake w/o a tune. Would it make any difference? It's a 08 ls3 is the one that came with that +6hp package(not like it makes a big diff).
