The Z06 has a 7.0L engine that makes 500 hp. Don't get me wrong I love the power these engines make, but the way they make it matters a lot too. German Engineering <3
Im a huge german car fan, but you cant say that any german car is engineered much better then the new CTS-V, even if you ignore the fact that the V destroys almost all german sports cars (except for the rare gt2 or turbo) its got an unbelievable engine in it, bmw could learn a thing or two about putting torque in cars like all the gm super cars have now.

Quite Frankly the M3 has pretty pathetic amounts of torque, something like 310 lbs max.
The V makes 400 in idle, and 550 when revving, thatll tear your face off.

great car we had one here in black. Looks real nice but the quality is not really up to par. The interior is very plastic filled and cheap IMO. It looks too much like an old mans car inside when you see it in person. The exhaust is UNREAL and the hood is great. I like the car a lot and would take it over c63, isf, s5, s6 or any other audi besides r8. It is my favorite sedan outside m3 and m5 sedan that is for sure. They really hit the nail on the head with that car. I just hope its not too late because aroud here there is no interest in that car.
