Matter of opinion. M4 would be a cooler DD. Not a whole lot of people have them.

Camaros/Vettes are the new mustang in my area... I see one every 2-3 minutes typically.

Oh, you are one of those people that cares about rarity and what other people have.


The 5th gen was a brick. It was a 2dr Pontiac g8.

The 6th gen is on the same platform as the Cadillac ATS. They cut 200+lbs and gave it more power.

Did you see the lap time the 6th gen ZL1 just laid down at the ring (7:29)? It's the street bruiser. The Z28 will be the track focused version. I expect it to go 7:24-7:26. It's a ridiculous amount of car for the money. That time is a 12 second improvement over the 5th gen zl1.

? Now you're just getting out of hand. Not everyone wants to drive a car with a LS motor in it... If he likes the M4 why does it matter that much to you?

there's a reason the LS motor is popular.. Just saying.

This coming from a mopar guy to the bone. I could have built an LSX for half of what it cost me to get my 572 hemi where it sits now.

C7 z06 running like 1:34 at Laguna. But I wouldn't be buying the z06... performance might be comparable after I slap the Procharger on it, but still. I would never be driving in a track like that. Most action I get year round is 1/4 mile passes at Englishtown Raceway Park besides for the spirited driving on highway occasionally. C6 numbers are kind of meaningless in this comparison. The vette is a $54k base price with 460hp 6.2l V8 while the cayman S is a $64k 3.5l V6 with 325hp... also the "extras" on the Porsche are extremely expensive like the one I'd want to build would come out to like $85k after all the optionals. Porsche tax is just lame at this point. Hard to swallow that for a entry level Porsche.

He's said he preferred many things in the C7 over the M4. I said I wouldn't buy an M4 after seeing the motor trend head to head against a 2 SS 6th gen camaro.


Now that I'm having to explain every word, I used that comparison because the C7 is clearly a better car than the the camaro, therefore the M4.

The as tested price on the M4 was over $80k and it lost to a $40k camaro...





And nothing mentioned has an LS engine in it. These are all Gen V LT engines. The only parts they share are the piston pins, crank key, and a few miscellaneous bolts.
