AtomicSkier Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Jeff as I recalled he was pretty fast on both... speed doesn't matter, its the results, you should know that....you can be the "fastest" skier in the world, but you gotta be able to turn...thats why i hate corvettes, they're fast, but they can't handle....

skidude Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Well one thing that is much more importnant that the skis, is the tuning and as I recall with tomics bode got the worlds best tuning guy...so that could help a little more too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicSkier Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 The latest vettes (02-05's) handle very well and the Z06 does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds It may do 0-60 in 4.3 (according to MotorTrend, the authority for performance #'s) but just as my quote said, speed isn't everything. It may handle well, but when i talk about handling, I'm talking about the refinement, how well balanced it is, how it "feels", because around a road course my little inline-6 BMW M3 would stay right with the corvette, if not be faster then it, because of handling. I always say, "Driving a BMW is like one big orgasm, it just feels soo good", but thats for a whole nother day and yes greg, I do love both BMW's, and Atomics, ya know why? Cause they're the best. anyway...so yea, Bode rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicSkier Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I have to think that a Z06 would beat the M3 on the average road course stranger things have happened. One wouldn't also think that the lightweight version of my car, the M3 CSL, could be a 911 TT, or Ferrari 360 around a track, but i've got a vid to prove it. But comparing a z06 to an M3 is like comparing apples to oranges. The z06 is all about straightline speed. All the money you spend on that car goes towards the engine, certainly not the interior. Its a nice car, if you like that sorta thing. Anyone, back on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forumpl155 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 for those of us who do watch top gear...the M3 was run on a wet track <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and the c6 they ran basically was destroyed... clutch was shot as well as most of the rest of the car.... after top gear got done with bashing it.... still ran 2 seconds faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
